Email Configuration

Secret Server sends outbound email for notifications, access-request approvals, email two-factor authentication, and similar system-generated messages. The configuration surface differs between Secret Server Cloud (SSC) and Secret Server On-Premises (SSOP).

Secret Server Cloud

For Cloud tenants, Delinea manages the outbound mail relay. Tenant administrators configure only the From-address branding:

  • From Email Address: The "From" address that appears on emails sent by the tenant.

  • From Email Name: The display name shown alongside the From address (for example, No Reply).

To edit these values, search for Email, click Edit, update the fields, and click Save. Click Send test email to confirm delivery before saving changes that may affect production users.

Secret Server On-Premises

For on-premises installations, administrators configure the full SMTP or O365 connection. Search for Email, click Edit. In the Send email method field, select one of the following methods and enter the required fields:

  • SMTP

    • Email Server: The domain name or IP address of the SMTP server (for example, smtp.yourcompany.com).

    • Port: The TCP port used to connect to the SMTP server.

    • From Email Address: The "From" address for emails that are sent.

    • Username: The username used to authenticate to the SMTP server.

    • Password: The password used to authenticate to the SMTP server.

  • O365

    • Send Email Application Secret: The Azure App Registration secret for the Office 365 account used to send mail via the Graph API.

    • From Email Address: The "From" address for emails that are sent.

For the O365 method, the secret must be created in Secret Server before configuring this page. The Azure Application Secret must contain the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID for the Azure Application Registration, with Application Permissions granted.
If virus protection is running on the application server, you may need to add a firewall rule to allow aspnet_wp.exe to send mail.
For the SMTP SSL hardening recommendation, see the Require SMTP SSL entry in the Security Hardening Guide.
