Password Reset policy in OpenSSO - smtp

Question

I had to implement Password Reset policy....For which I had OpenSSO deployed on Glassfish server and OpenDS as the Data Store...I followed Indira's blog...
Password Reset With OpenDS
And executed all commands....Since I did not configure SMTP, when I try to Reset the Password of a particular User (Note: I hav specified a Gmail ID as the email Address of that user) after answering the Question, I get confirmation saying
"Your password has been reset but we are unable to send it to you. Contact your administrator."
How do I configure SMTP in OpenSSO and OpenDS?

Answer 1

OpenDS (and OpenDJ, the continuing open source project) has some global properties to point to the SMTP server.
Note that it doesn't support authentication at this point.
$ dsconfig set-global-configuration-prop --port 4444 --hostname hostname --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password --set smtp-server:smtp.example.com --trustAll --no-prompt
Kind regards,

Answer 2

I just had this problem, so for the record I think it's probably because you need to replace <Password-Administrator> in the WEB-INF/classes/amPasswordResetModuleMsgs*.properties files with a real email address.
I found that my Authentication debug log file had this error in it:
ERROR: Could not send email to user [Ljava.lang.String;#30720e48
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 553 5.5.4 <Password-Administrator>... Domain name required for sender address Password-Administrator
;
nested exception is:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSenderFailedException: 553 5.5.4 <Password-Administrator>... Domain name required for sender address Password-Administrator
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueSendCommand(SMTPTransport.java:2057)
I found the solution on the OpenAM mailing list originally: http://lists.forgerock.org/pipermail/openam/2012-April/005912.html
I used this sed command to do update all the files at once:
sed -i -e 's/\<Password-Administrator\>/user#address\.com\.au/g' amPasswordResetModuleMsgs*.properties
