Disable the Common | MailNotification | VendorNotification configuration parameter.
Select the Database > Save to database and click Save.

Setting up the email notification system

One Identity Manager sends email notifications about various actions taken within the system. Thus, various notifications are sent to requester and approver within the request process. In the same way, notifications about attestation cases are sent or reports delivered by email. Notifications are sent when an actions is successfully or unsuccessfully run during process handling.

You can implement custom notifications in addition to predefined notification processes.

To use the notification system

In the Launchpad, in the Configuration section, select Configure email connection.
Click Run.
On the home page of the Mail Configuration Wizard, click Next.
On the Create connection to the SMTP server page, configure the SMTP server connection to use for sending emails.
- To test the user account data, click Test connection.
SMTP connection properties
- SMTP Server: SMTP server for sending email notifications. If a server is not given, localhost is used.
- User name: User account name for authentication on an SMTP server.
- Domain: User account domain for authentication on the SMTP server.
- Password and Password repeat: User account password for authentication on the SMTP server.
- Port: Port of the SMTP service on the SMTP server. Default: 25
- Transport encryption: Encryption method for sending email notifications. If none of the following options are given, the port is used to define the behavior (port 25: no encryption, port 465: with SSL/TLS encryption).
  
  Permitted values are:
  - Auto: Identifies the encryption method automatically.
  - SSL: Encrypts the entire session with SSL/TLS.
  - STARTTLS: Uses the STARTTLS mail server extension. Switches TLS encryption after the greeting and loading the server capabilities. The connection fails if the server does not support the STARTTLS extension.
  - STARTTLSWhenAvailable: Uses the STARTTLS mail server extension if available. Switches on TLS encryption after the greeting and loading the server capabilities, however, only if it supports the STARTTLS extension.
  - None: No security for the transport layer. All data is sent as plain text.
- Accept self-signed certificates: Specifies whether self-signed certificates for TLS connections are accepted.
- Allow server name mismatch in certificates: Specifies whether server names that do not match are permitted by certificates for TLS connections.

Table 18: Additional configuration parameters for mail notification
Configuration parameter	Meaning
Common \| InternationalEMail	Specifies whether international domain names and unicode characters are supported in email addresses. IMPORTANT: The mail server must also support this function. If necessary, you must override the script VID_IsSMTPAddress
Common \| MailNotification \| Encrypt \| EncryptionCertificateScript	This configuration parameter contains the script that supplies a list of encrypted certificates (default: QBM_GetCertificates).
Common \| MailNotification \| NotifyAboutWaitingJobs	Specifies whether a message should be sent if the process steps have a particular status in the Job queue.
Common \| MailNotification \| SMTPUseDefaultCredentials	Specifies which credentials are used for authentication on the SMTP server. If this parameter is set, the One Identity Manager Service login credentials are used for authentication on the SMTP server. If the configuration parameter is not set, the login data defined in the Common \| MailNotification \| SMTPDomain and Common \| MailNotification \| SMTPAccount or Common \| MailNotification \| SMTPPassword configuration parameters is used. (Default)
Common \| MailNotification \| VendorNotification	Email address of your company's contact person. The email address is used as the return address for notifying vendors. If the configuration parameter is set, One Identity Manager generates a list of system settings once a month and sends the list to One Identity. This list does not contain any personal data. You can check the latest system information at any time by selecting Help > Info in the menu. The list will be reviewed by our customer support team, who will look for material changes in a proactive effort to identify potential issues before they materialize on your system. The lists may be used by our R&D staff for analysis, diagnosis, and replication for testing purposes. We will keep and refer to this information for as long as your company remains on support for this product.
TargetSystem \| ADS \| MemberShipRestriction \| MailNotification	Default email address for sending warning emails.

Installing and configuring the One Identity Manager Service

The One Identity Manager Service handles defined processes. The service has to be installed on the One Identity Manager network server to run the processes. The server must be declared as a Job server in the One Identity Manager database.

Setting up a Job server requires the following steps:

Create an entry for the Job server in the One Identity Manager database.
Specify the machine roles and server functions for the Job server.

Installation packages to be installed on the Job server are found, depending on the selected machine roles. The server function defines the functionality of a server in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.
Install the One Identity Manager Service.
Configure the One Identity Manager Service.
Start the One Identity Manager Service.

For more information about using the One Identity Manager Service, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, use of oneidentity/oneim-job docker images is recommended.

Setting up Job servers

Each Job server within the network must have a unique queue identifier. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using exactly this queue name:

A Job server must be known in the One Identity Manager database for each queue.
Enter this queue name in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.

There are several methods for setting up a Job server:

For the initial schema installation with the Configuration Wizard, you already set up a Job server with the SQL processing server and Update server server functions. Use the Configuration Wizard to configure the service and install it on a server.
To configure further Job servers, use the Server Installer program.

Using the Server Installer, you create the Job server with its machine roles and server functions in the database. Use the Server Installer to configure the service and install it on a server.
You can create Job servers in the Designer.

Use the Designer, to create a Job server with the machine roles and server functions, configure the service on the server and install the service remotely. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
Alternatively, you can use the installation wizard to install the service components on the server. then configure the service using the Job Service Configuration program. For detailed information about configuring the One Identity Manager Service, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
If the Common | Jobservice | AutoCreateServerFromQueues configuration parameter is enabled, in response to queries from the One Identity Manager Service for unknown queues, new Job servers are created in the database. Information about machine roles and server functions is transferred to the database.

NOTE: If you subsequently change server functions for a Job server in the database, for example using the Designer, the system checks whether the required components are installed on the server, and updates the server if necessary. To enable this, automatic software updates must be active.
