Email Gateway

The email gateway helps users obtain information through emails during password resetting. If you enable the email gateway, OneAccess will generate random passwords during password resetting and send them to users over email. The users can then use the received passwords to log in and set new passwords.

This section describes how to configure the email gateway in OneAccess.

Prerequisites

You have enabled the POP3/SMTP service. If not, go to the email account management page, enable POP3/SMTP service by following on-screen instructions, and save the authorization code.

Keep your authorization code secure. If the authorization code is lost, generate a new one on the account setting page.
