48.4 Securing Internet Agent Connections with
SSL
The Internet Agent can use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol to enable secure connections to
other SMTP hosts, POP/IMAP clients, and the Internet Agent Web console. For the Internet Agent
to do so, you must ensure that it has access to a server certificate file and that you have configured
the connection types (SMTP, POP, IMAP, HTTP) you want secured through SSL. The following
sections provide instructions:
Section 48.4.1, "Defining the Certificate File," on page 788
Section 48.4.2, "Defining Which Connections Use SSL," on page 789

48.4.1 Defining the Certificate File

To use SSL, the Internet Agent requires access to a server certificate file and key file. The Internet
Agent can use any Base64/PEM or PFX formatted certificate file located on its server. If the Internet
Agent's server does not have a server certificate file, you can use the GroupWise Generate CSR
utility to help you obtain one. For information, see
Utility (GWCSRGEN)," on page
To define the certificate file and key file that the Internet Agent will use:
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties.
2 Click GroupWise > SSL Settings to display the SSL Settings page.
