#9145 Configure email subject line for IPA EPN
Closed: fixed 2 years ago by frenaud. Opened 2 years ago by boblloyd.

Request for enhancement

Is it possible to configure the subject line for the EPN emails? While we can configure the template, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the subject line, and "Your password will expire soon" seems to be suspicious to some users.

Issue

There is no way to provide the subject for the email from IPA EPN configuration.

Hi @boblloyd

it looks like this is not documented but you can set "msg_subject=..." in /etc/ipa/epn.conf.
Can you try if it works for you and confirm? I'm keeping this ticket open in order to update the documentation (man page for epn.conf) and add a comment in the template epn.conf.

Awesome, that worked great, exactly as I expected! Thanks so much for the quick reply!
