Option Description
enabled The IMAP4 client determines whether an SSL connection or non-SSL connection is
used. By default, the Internet Agent listens for SSL connections on port 993 and
non-SSL connections on port 143. You can use the
switches to change these ports.
required The Internet Agent forces SSL connections on port 993 and port 143. Non-SSL
connections are denied. You can use the
change these ports.
disabled The Internet Agent listens for connections only on port 143, and the connections are
not secure. You can use the

52.10.8 /ldapssl

Instructs the Internet Agent to use a secure (SSL) connection with an LDAP server. For more
information about why the Internet Agent would need to connect to an LDAP server, see

52.11 LDAP Switches

The Internet Agent can perform GroupWise authentication of POP3/IMAP4 clients through an
LDAP server and can also perform LDAP queries for GroupWise information. see
"Enabling LDAP Services," on page
The following sections describe the switches required to configure this functionality:
Section 52.11.1, "GroupWise Authentication Switches," on page 869
Section 52.11.2, "LDAP Query Switches," on page 870

52.11.1 GroupWise Authentication Switches

When a POP3/IMAP4 user attempts to access a GroupWise mailbox on a post office that has been
configured for LDAP authentication, the Internet Agent connects to the post office's POA, which
then connects to the LDAP server so that the LDAP server can authenticate the user.
This process works automatically if the Internet Agent's link to the post office is client/server
(meaning that it communicates through TCP/IP to the post office's POA). If the Internet Agent is
using a direct link to the post office directory rather than a client/server link to the post office's
POA, the Internet Agent must communicate directly with the LDAP server rather communicate
through the POA.
The following switches are used to provide the Internet Agent with the required LDAP server
information:
/ldapipaddr
/ldapport
/ldapssl
/ldapuser
/imapsport
/imapport switch to change this port.
