54.1.4 Securing WebAccess Agent Connections with SSL

The GroupWise WebAccess Agent can use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol to enable secure
connections to Post Office Agents (POAs) and the WebAccess Agent Web console. For it to do so,
you must ensure that the WebAccess Agent has access to a server certificate file and that you
specified the connection types that you want secured through SSL. The following sections provide
instructions:
"Defining the Certificate File" on page 897
"Enabling SSL" on page 898
Defining the Certificate File
To use SSL, the WebAccess Agent requires access to a server certificate file and key file. The
WebAccess Agent can use any Base64/PEM or PFX formatted certificate file located on its server. If
the WebAccess 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
Generate CSR Utility (GWCSRGEN)," on page
order for SSL to function correctly.
To define the certificate file and key file for the WebAccess Agent to use:
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the WebAccess Agent object, then click Properties.
