The TeamConnect IMAP Server supports encrypted connections (SSL). If you will require encrypted IMAP connections (SSL) from IMAP Clients, the following are required:

Important: The JDK installation used for running the Keytool should be the same JDK installation used by the TeamConnect application server. For additional information about keystores, see your JDK vendor documentation.

1.Get the Keytool security tool (provided in a JDK).

Note: For remaining SSL setup requirements, high level descriptions are provided but you must refer to your JDK vendor's documentation for details.

2.Using Keytool, do the following on the TeamConnect server:

oCreate a keystore (including a public/private key pair). Use the RSA algorithm.

Note: You will need the keystore file location, keystore password, and key password to set up the TeamConnect IMAP Server.

oGenerate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Send a request for a signed certificate to a Certification Authority (CA), using the information in the CSR.

oAfter you receive the resulting certificates from the CA, use Keytool to import the certificates to the keystore.

Note: If you had generated a self-signed certificate above, you need to replace it by importing a signed certificate from the CA.

Important: The keystore used for IMAP over SSL must be generated by a Keytool from a JDK. Also it is recommended to generate a new CSR from the Keytool and order a new SSL certificate for the IMAP server.
