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.
Such a match allows the mail server to do reverse lookups or authentication.
Authenticate to the server by 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.
For example, Forgotten Password e-mail notifications can be sent by using the authentication
information you specify here. However, notification e-mails for Identity Manager Password
Synchronization require the authentication information to be provided in the driver policy that
is used to send notification e-mails.
