Configuring the ai_manager.rc file

To receive e-mail from the AIM application when you create a reaction policy, enter the ai_manager.rc file smtp_protocol_value and sender values as shown. The ai_manager. rc file is located in the /opt/aim/ directory.

You are prompted for the E-mail settings (SMTP Protocol and E-Mail Address) during the AIM installation. This setting is necessary to receive e-mail from the AIM application when you set a Reaction Policy and select the Send Email to action. If you left the fields blank during the AIM installation process, you can add the values by modifying the ai_manager.rc file and adding the smtp_protocol_value and sender values as required. For the changes to take effect, you must restart the aimService. See Starting and Stopping AIM Application Services.

The contents of the ai_manager.rc file is as follows. Bold text indicates the values to enter.
