SSL Configuration

SSL Configuration

The name of an existing TLS configuration to use to authenticate this connection. Choose a client TLS configuration, because the adapter initiates the communication.

To create and manage TLS configurations, use the Management Portal. See InterSystems TLS Guide. The first field on the Edit SSL/TLS Configuration form is Configuration Name. Use this string as the value for the SSLConfig setting.

Generally, when you specify a value for this setting, outbound email opens a socket on default port 465 and uses SMTP over TLS. However, the SSL Config setting also supports the server interaction described in the RFC3207 standard. Specifically, you can enable the system to initiate the connection by opening a standard TCP socket and then switching to a TLS connection on the same port. The system achieves the switch by issuing the issue the STARTTLS command. To enable this special type of connection, you include an asterisk at the end of the SSL Config value, for example, MySSLItem*. The default SMTP port in this case is 25.
