Email service for the credential project.

Request Emailer

Email requests for services to interested parties.

#Setup

cf cups smtp-service -p '{"hostname": "smtp.example.com", "username":"mail-user", "password": "mail-password"}'
cf push

#Usage

POST to the /send api with the required information in the body.

{
    "spaceGuid": "123456-space",
    "appId": "123452-the-app",
    "accessRequirementsRepo": "https://some/github/repo",
    "desiredVaultUrl": "/vault_url/v1/secret/service-instance-id"
}

A success is indicated by a response code of 200 and a response body of OK

The recipient gets the following boiler plate email with the values from above filled in

Subject: New Request for access to a datasource

Body: A request for access to a new datasource has been created db requirements url: https://some/github/repo app id: 123452-the-appspace guid: 123456-space vault url: /vault_url/v1/secret/service-instance-id

The recipient of the email can be set in application.yaml (and is defaulted to something that will not work in real life but works for the unit/local tests). It's sensible to override this via the environment by setting an env var named recipient.

For example:

cf set-env emailer recipient [e-mail]
cf restage emailer

#Local Testing

I run postfix on port 25 and use mailq to test that stuff goes where I need it to on a mac.
