• A mail server configured in Jahia (Administration → Server settings → Configuration → Mail server)

Installation

• Upload the JAR root-login-notification-X.X.X.jar
• Check that the module is started

File-based configuration

Create or edit org.jahia.modules.rootloginnotification.cfg in the Jahia configuration directory:

# Optional — leave commented to use the Jahia mail service default
#recipient=security@example.com
#sender=noreply@example.com

subject=[{server} - {site}] Connection notification to the root account
body=<p>Hi,</p><p>We're sending this email following a successful connection to the root user.</p><p>Connection IP: {ip}<br>Connection time: {time}</p><p>Regards,</p>

GraphQL API

All operations require the admin permission.

Query

query {
    rootLoginNotificationSettings {
        recipient   # String (null = Jahia default)
        sender      # String (null = Jahia default)
        subject
        body
    }
}

Mutation

mutation {
    rootLoginNotificationSaveSettings(
        recipient: "security@example.com"  # optional
        sender: "noreply@example.com"      # optional
        subject: "[{server}] Root login"
        body: "<p>IP: {ip} — {time}</p>"
    )
}

Returns true on success, false on error. Passing null for recipient or sender resets them to the Jahia mail service default. Invalid email addresses are rejected.
