What it Does
Once users have been added to the Authentication Manager database, they can be sent an email to advise them of this fact (e.g. a welcome email informing them that they have been enrolled). Email server settings are required in order for Access Authenticator to send email messages to administrators and users, and settings must be enabled if you wish to allow Access Authenticator to send emails.
The email includes a link to the self-service portal where users can complete the registration process and maintain their account details. Use the settings on this screen to configure your email server settings and define the content of the message.
