Installation of a certificate for Ipswitch IMail Server

IMail Server and Web Messaging use the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS ) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) features to encrypt communications between the IMail Web client and server.

You can set up the Web Calendaring server to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for communications between a browser and the server .

To set up SSL for IMail Web Calendaring:

1. Use the IMail SSL Configuration Utility to set up the SSL certificate and public/private key pair. From the Start menu, select Programs > IMail Server > IMail SSL Configuration Utility.
2. In the IMail Administrator's Web Calendaring Server Settings page, click Enable SSL.

Stop Web Calendring before installing the certificate!

You will receive your certificate by e-mail. Open the certificate file in a text editor like Notepad (do not use Word). Check if the file dus not contain any spaces or blank rules. If you received more than one certificate file, you have to concatenate these files, so you have everything in one single certificate file. It should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
 (your_domain_name.crt)
 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
 (Intermediate certificaat)
 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
     (Root certificaat)
 -----END CERTIFICATE-----

Next go to your IMail directory and find the location of the keyname.crt file. This is the self-signed certificate file that was created while you generated your CSR. Open this file and replace the entire content with the new signed certificate file(s). 

Restart Web Calendering and your are done.
