13.7.5. Sending mail about users registration

Warning

You are looking at documentation for an older release. Not what you want? See the current release documentation.

In eXo Platform registration page is by default disabled. An administrator can enable it by following this guide to make it accessible to guests so they can register to eXo Platform by themselves.

To be notified about new users registration, an administrator can configure eXo Platform to send him emails by following these steps:

  1. Configure your SMTP server by following the Outgoing mail service guide.

  2. Configure the service used for sending emails in portal.war/WEB-INF/conf/admin/admin-configuration.xml. This file contains descriptions for each available parameter, including:

    • Two mandatory parameters:

      • sendMailAfterRegistration: Set this parameter to "true" to enable email sending after a user registration.

      • mailTo: Add your email address in which you wish to receive notifications about new registrations.

    • Optional configurations of mail content:

      • mailFrom: This will be used as from header in the mail.

      • mailSubject: The Subject of the mail.

      • mailMessage: The content of the mail.

Tip

Use the ${user.userName} token for mailSubject and mailMessage to be then replaced by the real username that have been registred.

To check if your configuration takes effect, restart the server and register a new user. An email that notifies of newly registered user should be sent to you.
