Change Subscription Manager’s SMTP email settings

The STMP and Email Notification settings supplied during the installation of the Subscription Manager are encrypted and stored in the web.config file.
In order to change these settings after installation, you will need to decrypt the web.config file and make the changes manually.

1. Decrypt the web.config file

Follow these instructions to Decrypt the web.config file.

2. Email settings

Find the <xmpro> section near the end of the file. Within it there is a <xmnotification> section, this will contain all the email settings

     <xmnotification>
          <email smtpServer="<smtp-server-address>" enableSsl="true" port="25"
          useDefaultCredentials="false"
          userName="<username>" password="<password>"
          fromAddress="<from-address>" templateFolder="~/App_Data/Templates/"
          webApplication="true" />      
     </xmnotification>

3. Encrypt the web.config file

Follow the instructions to Encrypt the web.config file again.

Note: If you do not encrypt the file again, your password will be visible in plain-text. If you choose to leave the file unencrypted, be sure to uncomment the configuration section again (as explained in step 1. of the instructions to Encrypt/Decrypt the web.config file)
