To set up an SMTP email configuration with your Gmail account in Ory, you'll need to follow these steps: ### Using the Ory Console 1. Go to Authentication → Email configuration in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-configuration) 2. Toggle the Advanced Settings switch 3. Add the configuration for your Gmail SMTP server ### Using the Ory CLI 1. First, download your current identity configuration:

ory list workspaces ory list projects --workspace <workspace-id> ory get identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

2. Add the Gmail SMTP configuration to your

identity-config.yaml

file:

yaml courier:   delivery_strategy: smtp   smtp:     connection_uri: <smtp://username:password@smtp.gmail.com:587/>     from_address: <mailto:your-email@gmail.com|your-email@gmail.com>     from_name: Your Name

3. Update your configuration:

ory update identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --file identity-config.yaml

### Important Notes for Gmail 1. For the username and password in the connection URI, you need to URL-encode any special characters. For example, if your password contains special characters like

/

or

%

, you must encode them [as described in the troubleshooting guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/troubleshooting/smtp-courier-OTA-112022-01). 2. For Gmail specifically, you'll likely need to use an "App Password" instead of your regular Gmail password. This requires: - Having 2-Step Verification enabled on your Google account - Generating an App Password specifically for Ory in your Google Account settings 3. Gmail uses StartTLS with certificate verification, which is the default security mechanism in the connection URI shown above. 4. You can verify your email configuration is working by checking the Monitoring → Email Delivery page in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-delivery). If you encounter any issues with email delivery, check the Email Delivery dashboard in the Ory Console to see the specific error messages. Hope this helps you set up your Gmail SMTP configuration with Ory!

I see you're getting an "EOF" error when trying to set up your Gmail SMTP configuration. This is a known issue when using Google Workspace SMTP Relay, particularly with Gmail. The error is likely related to a missing

local_name

configuration option. According to a reported issue in the Ory Network repository, this happens specifically with Google Workspace SMTP Relay on port 587 with StartTLS [as documented here](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/297). Some SMTP relays (like Gmail/Google Workspace) may close the connection when using generic identifiers like

localhost

. The

local_name

parameter allows you to specify a unique identifier for the HELO/EHLO command, which should usually be the domain name of the sending host. To fix this issue, you should add the

local_name

parameter to your SMTP configuration:

yaml courier:   smtp:     local_name: <http://your-domain.com|your-domain.com>

Where

<http://your-domain.com|your-domain.com>

should be replaced with your actual domain name. Note that while this configuration option exists in self-hosted Ory Kratos [as documented here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mail-courier-selfhosted), there was an issue reported that this setting might not persist when configured via the Ory CLI in the Ory Network. If you continue to experience issues, you might want to: 1. Check the [Email Delivery dashboard](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-delivery) for more detailed error messages 2. Consider using a different SMTP provider temporarily 3. Ensure your Google Workspace SMTP settings are correctly configured to allow relay This is a known issue that the Ory team has acknowledged and is working to fix. Hope this helps resolve your EOF error!

Based on the knowledge sources, there's a known issue with setting the

local_name

parameter for SMTP configuration in Ory Network. According to a GitHub issue, this parameter was not properly added to the revision rendering system, which means it might not persist when configured via the Ory CLI [as noted in this issue](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/297). Despite this limitation, you can try to set the

local_name

parameter using the Ory CLI with the following steps: 1. First, get your current identity configuration:

ory get identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

2. Add the

local_name

parameter to your SMTP configuration in the YAML file:

yaml courier:   smtp:     connection_uri: <smtp://username:password@server:port/>     from_address: <mailto:your-email@domain.com|your-email@domain.com>     from_name: Your Name     local_name: <http://your-domain.com|your-domain.com>

3. Update your configuration:

ory update identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --file identity-config.yaml

Alternatively, you can try using the patch command:

ory patch project --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> \   --replace '/services/identity/config/courier/smtp/local_name="<http://your-domain.com|your-domain.com>"'

However, be aware that as mentioned in the GitHub issue, a user reported that "the local_name setting doesn't stick when configured via the Ory CLI." This appears to be a known issue that the Ory team has acknowledged and is working to fix. If you continue to experience issues with the EOF error when using Google Workspace SMTP, you might need to consider using a different SMTP provider temporarily until this issue is resolved.

To set up an SMTP email configuration with AWS SES in Ory, follow these steps: ### Using the Ory Console 1. Go to Authentication → Email configuration in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-configuration) 2. Toggle the Advanced Settings switch 3. Add the configuration for your AWS SES SMTP server ### Using the Ory CLI 1. First, download your current identity configuration:

ory list workspaces ory list projects --workspace <workspace-id> ory get identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

2. Add the AWS SES SMTP configuration to your

identity-config.yaml

file:

yaml courier:   delivery_strategy: smtp   smtp:     connection_uri: smtp://{smtp-user}:{smtp-password}@email-smtp.{region}.<http://amazonaws.com:587/|amazonaws.com:587/>     from_address: <mailto:your-verified-email@example.com|your-verified-email@example.com>     from_name: Your Name

3. Update your configuration:

ory update identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --file identity-config.yaml

### Important Notes for AWS SES 1. Replace

{smtp-user}

and

{smtp-password}

with your AWS SES SMTP credentials (not your regular AWS credentials). You can generate these in the AWS SES console. 2. Replace

{region}

with your AWS region (e.g., us-west-2, us-east-1). 3. Make sure to URL-encode any special characters in your username and password [as described in the troubleshooting guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/troubleshooting/smtp-courier-OTA-112022-01). 4. The

from_address

must be a verified email address or domain in AWS SES. 5. You can also add AWS SES specific SMTP headers for cross-account sending:

yaml courier:   smtp:     headers:       X-SES-SOURCE-ARN: arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/example.com       X-SES-FROM-ARN: arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/example.com       X-SES-RETURN-PATH-ARN: arn:aws:ses:us-west-2:123456789012:identity/example.com

You can verify your email configuration is working by checking the Monitoring → Email Delivery page in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-delivery). [SMTP Integrations documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/sending-emails-smtp#smtp-integrations) provides this specific example for AWS SES:

smtp://{smtp-user}:{smtp-password}@email-smtp.{region}.<http://amazonaws.com:587/|amazonaws.com:587/>  For example: <smtp://theuser:thepassword@email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:587/>

You can set a custom favicon in the Ory Account Experience UI through the theming settings in the Ory Console. Here's how to do it: 1. Log in to the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/) 2. Navigate to your project 3. Go to Account Experience → Theming section 4. Look for the favicon upload option in the theming settings According to the Ory documentation, the Account Experience can be themed using the Ory Console, and it's specifically mentioned that "It is also possible to set a custom logo and favicon" [Account Experience Overview](https://www.ory.sh/docs/account-experience). The theming settings allow you to customize various aspects of the Account Experience UI to match your brand, including the favicon that appears in browser tabs when users interact with your login, registration, and other self-service screens. If you prefer to use a custom UI instead of the Account Experience, you can build your own interface using Ory Elements or other approaches as described in the [Custom UI Overview](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-overview) documentation.

I can help you implement a redirect to the Ory Account Experience login page after logout in your Single Page Application (SPA). Based on your code, you're already implementing the logout functionality correctly using the browser logout flow. To redirect the user to the Ory Account Experience login page after logout, you need to modify your code to use the appropriate URL. Here's how you can update your code:

javascript const { data: flow } = await ory.createBrowserLogoutFlow() // Use the received token to "update" the flow and thus perform the logout await ory.updateLogoutFlow({   token: flow.logout_token, })  // Redirect to the Ory Account Experience login page window.location.href = "/.ory/ui/login"

The

/.ory/ui/login

path is the standard path for the Ory Account Experience login page when using the [Ory Tunnel](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/expressjs#require-login-to-access-the-home-page) or when the Account Experience is properly configured in your application. If you're using a custom domain or a different configuration, you might need to adjust the URL to something like:

javascript // If using a project slug window.location.href = `https://${PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/ui/login|projects.oryapis.com/ui/login>`  // Or if using a custom domain window.location.href = "<https://your-domain.com/ui/login>"

You can also use the

return_to

parameter to specify where the user should be redirected after successful login:

javascript window.location.href = "/.ory/ui/login?return_to=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location.origin + "/dashboard")

This approach is consistent with the examples shown in the [Express.js integration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/expressjs#require-login-to-access-the-home-page) and the [React integration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/react#require-login-to-access-the-app-page).
