Configuring Email Security
Encryption and Certificates
ePrism uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption to protect
browser sessions and mail delivery. This encryption is enabled by default.
There are two categories of browser sessions:
• Administration sessions — Access to the browser administrative interface.
• ePrism Mail Client and Secure WebMail — Access to WebMail.
Configuring Web Server Encryption
Select Basic Config -> Web Server from the menu to configure encryption. The default settings
are recommended.
• Admin HTTP Port — The default port for HTTP requests. The default port 80 can be
changed via the system console.
• Admin HTTPS Port — The default port for HTTPS requests. The default port 443 can be
changed via the system console.
• Secure SSL encryption — Requires SSL encryption for all user and administrator web
sessions.
• Allow low-grade encryption — Allow the use of low-grade encryption, such as DES ciphers
with a key length of 64 bits, for encrypted user and administrator web sessions.
• Enable SSL version 2 — Enables SSL version 2 protocol. Note that SSL version 2 contains
known security issues.
• Enable SSL version 3 — Enable SSL version 3 protocol. This is the default setting.
