How to use SMTP mail server details without username and password for configuring email alerts in HAA?

There is no validation in the UI. However using command-line utilities, a workaround is present.

  1. The Username (email address) and password are not actually tested at the configuration time, so put in any dummy email (must have the @ sign to be a valid address) and password.
  2. Remove them using the curl utility and the in-built Redis REST API as follows
  • curl -kL -u : --location-trusted -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://:9443/v1/cluster -d "{\"smtp_username\": \"\",\"smtp_password\": \"\"}"

USERNAME, PASSWORD are the credentials used to log into the UI and CLUSTER_FDQN the name of the cluster (use an IP address if needed).
