  1. Troubleshooting

The urls in email notifications are incorrect/missing port information

This can occur if the web-application is running behind a proxy or port forwarding is used. To remedy, uncomment the appSetting:

-<add key="serverBaseUrl" value="https://url.com:port" /> --><!--only required if the url exposed is different to the url known to the server, e.g. port forwarding or behind proxy -->

in the web.config file and adapt the urls as required.
