In the Add SMTP Server dialog, configure the following options and click Save:

If the SMTP server uses the port which is different from the default SMTP port 25, you may specify the port using the following format:

When installing Password Manager, the Password Manager setup adds the following scheduled tasks on the computer where Password Manager is installed: Invitation to Create/Update Profile, Reminder to Create/Update Profiles, Reminder to Change Password, Active Directory Sites, Maximum Password Age Policy, update RADIUS server status, and User Status Statistics.
This task is used to enumerate users who are not registered with Password Manager or must update their Q&A profiles and send email notifications to such users. This task is applied to users who have not been invited to create or update their Q&A profiles.
The scope of this task corresponds to the scope of the Invite Users to Create/Update Q&A Profiles user enforcement rule.
To each user from the user scope, the task is applied only once. After a user has been invited to create or update his Q&A profile, the Reminder to Create/Update Profile task will be applied to this user.
You should configure this scheduled task to enable the Invite Users to Create/Update Q&A Profiles user enforcement rule. If you disable this scheduled task, the user enforcement rule will not be implemented. For more information on this user enforcement rule, see Invite users to create/update profiles.
