<section name="SSL setup">
<p>SSL is not necessary when DavMail is used in workstation mode, as communication between clients and
DavMail remain local. However, in server (shared) mode e.g. with a smartphone connecting to DavMail over
the internet, you should make sure encryption is enabled.
</p>
<p>The simplest way to secure communication between mail/calendar clients and DavMail is to create a
self signed certificate:
</p>
<source>
<![CDATA[keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -keysize 2048 -storepass password -keystore davmail.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -validity 3650 -dname cn=davmailhostname.company.com,ou=davmail,o=sf,o=net]]>
</source>
<p>Then add this keystore to DavMail settings:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
davmail.ssl.keystoreType=PKCS12
davmail.ssl.keyPass=password
davmail.ssl.keystoreFile=davmail.p12
davmail.ssl.keystorePass=password]]>
</source>
<p>Restart DavMail, all DavMail listeners will switch to secure mode. You will also need to enable SSL in
client applications and manually accept the certificate as it's not signed by a trusted
Certification Authority.
