Issue/Introduction:

Email Notification on Password View Policy has not been working for some time, so that the users are not receiving emails from PAM when a password is viewed.

Cause:

A possible cause may be related to NTP Server configuration.
Check in PAM, in the Configuration Section, under Date and Time if the NTP server is configured and its status

Environment:

Release:
Component: CAPAMX

Resolution:

If no NTP server is available, or if it is available but connections are rejected, please reconfigure the NTP server in PAM until a valid server is present.

Additional Information:

Set the Tomcat Logs to INFO or FINE to get more information and check if PAM is sending the emails.
