Bitnami Parse Server Dashboard add mail adapter - amazon-web-services

Question

I am using Parse Server from the market place of AWS and is able to access the database without a problem. But, I am not able to send email verification to newly signed up users.
After did some research, I know that I have to add Mail Adapter and enable a few parameters for the Parse Server but I don't know how to add Adapter from the dashboard

It's not possible to add a mail adapter using the dashboard. You should have the Mailgun adapter installed by default.
To add the configuration you need to access your server and add the following to your index.js file:
var server = ParseServer({
...otherOptions,
// Enable email verification
verifyUserEmails: true,
// if `verifyUserEmails` is `true` and
// if `emailVerifyTokenValidityDuration` is `undefined` then
// email verify token never expires
// else
// email verify token expires after `emailVerifyTokenValidityDuration`
//
// `emailVerifyTokenValidityDuration` defaults to `undefined`
//
// email verify token below expires in 2 hours (= 2 * 60 * 60 == 7200 seconds)
emailVerifyTokenValidityDuration: 2 * 60 * 60, // in seconds (2 hours = 7200 seconds)
// set preventLoginWithUnverifiedEmail to false to allow user to login without verifying their email
// set preventLoginWithUnverifiedEmail to true to prevent user from login if their email is not verified
preventLoginWithUnverifiedEmail: false, // defaults to false
// The public URL of your app.
// This will appear in the link that is used to verify email addresses and reset passwords.
// Set the mount path as it is in serverURL
publicServerURL: 'https://example.com/parse',
// Your apps name. This will appear in the subject and body of the emails that are sent.
appName: 'Parse App',
// The email adapter
emailAdapter: {
module: '#parse/simple-mailgun-adapter',
options: {
// The address that your emails come from
fromAddress: 'parse#example.com',
// Your domain from mailgun.com
domain: 'example.com',
// Your API key from mailgun.com
apiKey: 'key-mykey',
}
},
// account lockout policy setting (OPTIONAL) - defaults to undefined
// if the account lockout policy is set and there are more than `threshold` number of failed login attempts then the `login` api call returns error code `Parse.Error.OBJECT_NOT_FOUND` with error message `Your account is locked due to multiple failed login attempts. Please try again after <duration> minute(s)`. After `duration` minutes of no login attempts, the application will allow the user to try login again.
accountLockout: {
duration: 5, // duration policy setting determines the number of minutes that a locked-out account remains locked out before automatically becoming unlocked. Set it to a value greater than 0 and less than 100000.
threshold: 3, // threshold policy setting determines the number of failed sign-in attempts that will cause a user account to be locked. Set it to an integer value greater than 0 and less than 1000.
},
// optional settings to enforce password policies
passwordPolicy: {
// Two optional settings to enforce strong passwords. Either one or both can be specified.
// If both are specified, both checks must pass to accept the password
// 1. a RegExp object or a regex string representing the pattern to enforce
validatorPattern: /^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.{8,})/, // enforce password with at least 8 char with at least 1 lower case, 1 upper case and 1 digit
// 2. a callback function to be invoked to validate the password
validatorCallback: (password) => { return validatePassword(password) },
validationError: 'Password must contain at least 1 digit.' // optional error message to be sent instead of the default "Password does not meet the Password Policy requirements." message.
doNotAllowUsername: true, // optional setting to disallow username in passwords
maxPasswordAge: 90, // optional setting in days for password expiry. Login fails if user does not reset the password within this period after signup/last reset.
maxPasswordHistory: 5, // optional setting to prevent reuse of previous n passwords. Maximum value that can be specified is 20. Not specifying it or specifying 0 will not enforce history.
//optional setting to set a validity duration for password reset links (in seconds)
resetTokenValidityDuration: 24*60*60, // expire after 24 hours
}
});
You will need to replace some of the values with your own. See here for more details.
