To enable users to request a workspace or reset their passwords using links on the login page, you must configure Oracle Application Express to send mail. In order to enable Oracle Application Express to send mail, you must configure a number of settings on the Environment Preferences page.

To configure Oracle Application Express to send mail:

1. Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. See "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services".

2. Click Manage Service.

3. Click Manage Environment Settings.

4. Under Email, enter the following:

   1. SMTP Host Address - Defines the server address of the SMTP server. On installation, this will be set to localhost. If you are using another server as an SMTP relay or mail server, change localhost to that server's name or address.

   2. SMTP Host Port - Defines the port the SMTP server listens to for mail requests. By default, this setting will be set to 25 at the time of installation.

   3. Administration Email Address - Defines the "from" address for administrative tasks such as approving a provision request or resetting a password that generates an email.

5. Click Apply Changes.
