Depending on how your e-mail application is configured, it may require that Vibe outbound e-mail be configured with TLS over SMTP for secure e-mail. Novell GroupWise, for example, can be configured to require this. If you are using GroupWise or another e-mail application that requires this type of configuration, you can configure Vibe with TLS over SMTP by using STARTTLS.
NOTE:In the Vibe installation program, on the Outbound E-Mail Configuration page, ensure that you have selected Gathering Outbound E-Mail Information
in the Novell Vibe 3.3 Installation Guide.
To configure outbound e-mail with TLS over SMTP:
Import the certificate from the e-mail server into the Vibe Java keystore file (cacerts).
The default location for the Java keystore file is:
Linux: |
/usr/java/jdkversion/jre/lib/security |
Windows: |
c:\Program Files\Java\jdkversion\jre/lib/security |
Change to the following directory:
Linux: |
/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/ conf/Catalina/localhost |
Windows: |
c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\ conf\Catalina\localhost |
Open the ssf.xml file in a text editor.
Add the following attribute to the resource node that begins with <Resource name=”mail/SiteScapePool” (this is the first resource node in the list):
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
(Optional) To enable tracing of sent e-mail to assist with debugging mail issues, add the following attribute to the same resource node:
mail.debug="true"
Stop and restart Vibe.
