Notifier

Authelia sometimes needs to send messages to users in order to verify their identity.

Configuration

notifier:
  disable_startup_check: false
  template_path: /path/to/templates/folder
  filesystem: {}
  smtp: {}

Options

disable_startup_check

type: boolean {: .label .label-config .label-purple } default: false {: .label .label-config .label-blue } required: no {: .label .label-config .label-green }

The notifier has a startup check which validates the specified provider configuration is correct and will be able to send emails. This can be disabled with the disable_startup_check option:

template_path

type: string {: .label .label-config .label-purple } default: "" {: .label .label-config .label-blue } required: no {: .label .label-config .label-green }

This option allows the administrator to set a path where custom templates for notifications can be found. Each template has two extensions; .html for HTML templates, and .txt for plaintext templates.

Template Description
IdentityVerification Template used when registering devices or resetting passwords
PasswordReset Template used to send the notification to users when their password has successfully been reset

For example, to modify the IdentityVerification HTML template, if your template_path was /config/email_templates, you would create the /config/email_templates/IdentityVerification.html file.

Note: you may configure this directory and add only add the templates you wish to override, any templates not supplied in this folder will utilize the default templates.

In template files, you can use the following variables:

Placeholder Templates Description
{{ .LinkURL }} IdentityVerification The URL of the used with the IdentityVerification template.
{{ .LinkText }} IdentityVerification The display value for the IdentityVerification button intended for the link.
{{ .Title }} All A predefined title for the email.
It will be "Reset your password" or "Password changed successfully", depending on the current step
{{ .DisplayName }} All The name of the user, i.e. John Doe
{{ .RemoteIP }} All The remote IP address that initiated the request or event

Examples

This is a basic example:

<body>
  <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
  Hi {{ .DisplayName }}<br/>
  This email has been sent to you in order to validate your identity.
  Click <a href="{{ .LinkURL }}">here</a> to change your password.
</body>
