Configure Keycloak to Send Emails

When creating users and admin users from the Olvid management console it is possible to have them receive their temporary password by email. In order to do so, Keycloak must be configured to send emails. Note that the master realm’s email configuration will be used for all emails sent through the Olvid management console.

  • open the Keycloak admin console and select the master realm from the top left dropdown
  • open “Realm Settings” and the “Email” tab

  • fill in the suitable options, including appropriate credentials if authentication is required

  • you may click “Test connection” to validate that Keycloak can indeed connect to the SMTP server
  • when everything is ready, do not forget to click “Save”
