During installation, you must identify the port number for your HTTPS server.
You can define an HTTPS server connection between computers on your
network and Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to encrypt passwords during
logon sessions and password changes using SSL encryption.
Note: You must have an SSL Web server certificate installed before you enable
SSL encryption for logons.
Configure HTTPS options
You must do the following to configure HTTPS options:
■
Generate an SSL certificate request.
■
Submit the certificate request to a recognized Certificate Authority.
■
Install the certificate that is returned from the Certificate Authority.
■
Enable SSL encryption.
To generate an SSL certificate request
1 On the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP administrative interface, in the
left pane, click
Configuration .
2 On the Setup tab, in the HTTPS port number box, type the port number of
the HTTPS server.
The default port number is 8043. The port number must be exclusive to
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP and must not already be in use by any
other program or service.
3 Click Certificate Management .
4 In the Certificate Management window, under Request, in the Common
Name box, type the IP address or resolvable host name of the computer that
is running Symantec Mail Security for SMTP (for example,
smart.brightschool.com).
Check the Web site of the Certificate Authority to which the request will be
submitted to see if there are format restrictions. For example, some
Certificate Authorities require a resolvable host name instead of an IP
address. Some require that the state or province name be spelled out.
5 In the Organization box, type your organization’s name (for example, Bright
School).
6 In the Organization Unit box, type your business’s main function (for
example, Education).
