Originally created by @minitriga on GitHub (May 12, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: Not Required
  • NetBox version: 2.8.4?

Proposed Functionality

To add more of the Django email settings that are listed in docs.

I specifically need EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_USE_SSL.

Use Case

This will allow a user to send an email to a service that uses TLS or SSL. Currently this is not supported and when using a provider like Gmail SMTP you have to manually add EMAIL_USE_SSL=1 to settings.py.

Database Changes

None.

This might look something like:

configuration.py

EMAIL = {
    'SERVER': 'smtp.gmail.com',
    'PORT': 465,
    'USERNAME': 'username',
    'PASSWORD': 'pass',
    'TIMEOUT': 10,  # seconds
    'FROM_EMAIL': 'test@netbox.com',
    'SSL': True
}

settings.py

EMAIL_USE_SSL = EMAIL.get('SSL', None)
EMAIL_USE_TLS = EMAIL.get('TLS', None)

Not sure about the None bit.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (May 13, 2020):

EMAIL_USE_SSL isn't a valid setting as far as I can tell; Django supports only EMAIL_USE_TLS. Disregard; it's supported but missing from the list of Email settings.

We'll also add support for EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE and EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE
