Enabling encryption on the local server

CallPilot supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Encryption is optional, but recommended if the User ID and Password authentication method will be used.

Use encryption to

• encrypt the authentication process

• prevent hackers from gaining access to the message contents

To set SSL encryption options

Messaging > Message Delivery Configuration

1. In the SMTP/VPIM section, click Security Modes for SMTP Sessions.
   The Security Modes for SMTP Sessions page appears.

2. In the Encryption Options section, specify the required options:

• Enable SSL for Incoming SMTP Sessions: Choose this option if you want to establish secure connections with incoming connecting SMTP hosts.
  When enabled, the CallPilot SMTP server listens on port 465 for encrypted connection requests.
  This option is cleared by default.

• Connect to server with SSL for Outgoing SMTP Sessions: Choose this option if you want to encrypt outgoing VPIM Networking message transmission sessions.
  When enabled, the CallPilot SMTP server attempts to initiate secure connections with the SSL port on remote SMTP hosts.
  This option is cleared by default.
   If the Enable SSL for incoming SMTP Sessions check box is cleared, this option is not available.

3. Click Save.
