Page 10: Default Notification Collection
1.3 Default Notification Collection The Default Notification Collection is an Identity Vault object that contains a set of e-mail notification templates and an SMTP server that is used when sending e-mails generated from the templates.

Designating an E-Mail Server Before you can use any of the e-mail notification templates included in the Default Notification Collection, you must associate an SMTP server with the collection. Whenever an e-mail is generated from one of the collection’s templates, the SMTP server is used to send the e-mail. Section 2.1, “Designating an E-Mail Server in Designer,”... -

From: When a user opens the e-mail, the text that you enter in the From edit box is displayed in the From field of the user’s e-mail heading. Depending on your mail server settings, the text in this field might need to match a valid sender in the system (for example, helpdesk@company.com) instead of descriptive text such as The Password Administrator. - Page 13 Authenticate to the server using credentials: Use this option for a secured SMTP server. If your server requires authentication before sending e-mail, specify the username and password here. Although the authentication information is specified here, you might also need to specify it separately for the application that is sending the notification e-mails.
