You are prompted for the e-mail settings (SMTP protocol and e-mail address) during the AIM installation. This setting is necessary to receive e-mail from the AIM application when you create a Reaction Policy. If you left the fields blank during the AIM installation process, you can add the values later by modifying the ai_manager.rc file and adding the smtp_protocol_value and sender values as required. The ai_manager.rc file is located in the /opt/aim directory. For the changes to take effect, you must restart the aimService. See Starting and Stopping AIM Services.
The contents of the ai_manager.rc file is as follows. Bold text indicates the values to enter.
;; Email Server Protocol Setting Parameters ;; ;; The AIM application will use Sun's default JavaMail provider and email ;; server protocol SMTP (Simple mail Transfer protocol) and POP (Post Office ;; protocol) to send and receive emails. ;; ;; The user will need to have the email account set up in order to send out the email ;; through AIM application as policy actions. ;;
