Secret Server requires that a connection to a SMTP server be properly configured to send out confirmation code emails. Enter the SMTP server information and an email address that is used to send notifications:

  1. Click Admin > Configuration.

  2. Click the Email tab.

  3. Verify SMTP server availability with telnet using the command telnet <your server name> 25.

If virus protection is running, you may need to add a firewall rule to allow aspnet_wp.exe to send e-mails.
