<subsection name="Server keystore (Client to DavMail)">
<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>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>Note to iPhone users: iOS does not support the default DSA algorithm, make sure you use an RSA key pair</p>
<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>If your already have your keystore in JKS format, just set keystoreType to JKS in DavMail
settings. keystorePass is the password used to open the KeyStore, keyPass protects the private key
inside the KeyStore.
</p>
<p>Restart DavMail, all DavMail listeners will switch to secure mode: POP3S/IMAPS/SMTPS/HTTPS/LDAPS.
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.
</p>

<subsection name="DavMail to Exchange">
<p>In most cases, using https in OWA url is enough to secure communication between DavMail and Exchange.
However, with Exchange servers setup to require mutual authentication, you will have to register
client certificate in DavMail settings, either through PKCS11 (smartcard) or file certificate:
</p>
<source><![CDATA[
davmail.ssl.clientKeystoreType=PKCS12
davmail.ssl.clientKeystoreFile=client.p12
davmail.ssl.clientKeystorePass=password]]></source>
