Configuring an Email Server

Code Insight can send email alerts that are triggered by certain events. For example, when a scan completes or when a new vulnerability is detected in the project inventory. It is highly recommended that the email server configuration be set up for the application. Email server configuration is available in Code Insight on the Administration page. This section provides the procedure for configuring email.

To configure your email server, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)
  2. Select the Email Server tab.
  3. Enter information and make selections in the fields:
    • Enable Email Server---Select Yes to enable Code Insight to use the email server or No to leave it disabled. The default is No. The rest of the fields on this page are not available until you select Yes.
    • Sender's Email Address--- Enter the email address of the sender.
    • SMTP Host Name---Enter the SMTP hostname.
    • SMTP Host Port---Enter the port number of the SMTP host.
    • SMTP User Name---Enter the SMTP user name. This field can be left blank for anonymous SMTP configuration.
    • SMTP User Password---Enter the SMTP user password. This field can be left blank for anonymous SMTP configuration.
    • Enable SMTP over TLS---Select Yes to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure email over SMTP or select No to leave this option disabled.
  4. Click Save to save your settings.
