user creation question

[Tonu Mikk]

When I create a new user with Rancho there doesn't seem to be an
automatic email that gets sent to the new user. The only way that I
have been able to communicate the user creation to the them is that I
created their account with such and such a username and password. Is
this behavior intentional? I think it would be better if Rancho sent an
email to the user asking them to verify their account and set their
password.

Hi Tonu,

Rancho already sends an email notifying a new user that a new account
for him has been created.
For this you must configure the settings file and assign the following
variables properly:

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '' # For example no-
re...@YOUREMAILSERVER.COM
EMAIL_HOST = '' # For example smtp.YOUREMAILSERVER.COM
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '' # For example
YOURN...@YOUREMAILSERVER.COM
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '' # Your email password
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

For the system to keep sending the notifications a cron should be set
on the system.
The Rancho ReadMe file describes how to set a cron:

If you need any help setting the email or the cron please let us know.


Best Regards,
