To enable smooth connection over SSL, it is necessary to install a trustworthy certificate on the client station (the Kerio MailServer's self-signed certificate can also be used for this purpose):
Run Internet Explorer and specify the corresponding URL to login to Kerio WebMail. SSL-secured protocol must be used for the connection to the server. This implies that the URL should start with https:// (example: https://mail.company.com/).
The Security Alert dialog will be opened (see figure 6.14 Security Alert). In this dialog, click on .
In the dialog with certificate details displayed, click on the button.
A certificate installation wizard is opened. There is nothing to be set in the wizard. Simply confirm all settings and close the wizard to install the certificate.
Once the certificate is installed, it is necessary to set SSL encryption in the menu. Since it is not allowed to use existing settings of the account to enable SSL encryption, it is necessary to set synchronization by the Use own settings option (see figure 7.7 Options — switch to the Use own settings mode):
Switch to the Use own settings mode and click on the button.
In the Server Information dialog (see figure 7.8 Server Information — settings example) just opened enter DNS name or IP address of the server where Kerio MailServer is installed (to get the address, contact your network administrator).
Enable the Use secured connection (SSL) option.
Specify your username password to the account which you want to synchronize the data with (usually the same data as the login data for your email account).
