Associated External Application Associate the mail server with an external application. External application credential information is used to authenticate users against the IMAP and SMTP servers. The Mail service uses the same credentials to authenticate the user on both IMAP and SMTP. You can select an existing external application from the list, or click Create New to configure a new external application. For more information, see Chapter 25, Managing External Applications. The external application you configure for the Mail service must use, Authentication Method=POST and specify several additional login fields with Display to User enabled: ■ Email Address ■ Your Name ■ Reply-To Address These attributes are used by the Mail service when sending mail. If your WebCenter Portal application offers a self-registration page with the facility to mail user ID information on request, then you must ensure that public credentials are configured for the external application selected here. If public credentials are not defined, then mails cannot be sent to users on their request. WebCenter Spaces offers this feature on its self-registration page. Note: Active Directory server details must be provided as part of the mail connection for distribution lists to work in WebCenter Spaces.
