PingDirectory

Editing and copying the email template to the PingDirectory server

You can edit and copy the email template to the PingDirectory server using the example email template provided.

About this task

An example email template is provided in the Delegated Admin package at the top level in the file delegated-admin-account-created.template. This template provides a multi-part text and HTML email to the user with their user name and initial password along with a self-service link they can use to sign on to PingFederate and change their password and profile information.

Steps

  1. Edit the template:

    1. Uncomment the line that sets the value for profile_management_url.

    2. Change the value of profile_management_url to the externally accessible URL of the profile management endpoint of your PingFederate local identity profile.

  2. Copy the template file to the config/account-status-notification-email-templates folder of each instance of the PingDirectory server.

    By default, the email is sent to the address within the user’s Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) mail attribute.

    You must provide a mail value for each user. For more information, see common-header-fields.vm in the email templates folder.
