HP UX Internet Express Software manual Configuring SSL for UW-IMAP, Viewing the Imap Server Log

3.From the IMAP Server Administration menu, choose Enable/Disable the UW IMAP Server.

4.If the server is currently enabled, you can disable it by clicking on Disable. If the server is currently disabled, you can enable it by clicking on Enable.

Configuring SSL for UW-IMAP

You can configure the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to enable encrypted communication between a mail client and the UW-IMAP Server. Support for SSL/TLS is built into the IMAP server and is enabled by the presence of the /usr/ssl/certs/imapd.pem certificate file. If this certificate file is present, the IMAP server will advertise STARTTLS capability. Mail clients that support TLS (e.g., Pine or Microsoft Outlook Express 6) will run STARTTLS and use encrypted communications.

If the /usr/ssl/certs/imapd.pem certificate file is present, the IMAP server can be configured to use SSL. Follow these steps:

1.Add a line to /etc/services similar to the following line:

imaps993/tcp

2.Add a line to /etc/inetd.conf similar to the following line:

imaps stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/bin/imapd imapd

3.Make the inetd daemon reread its configuration,Tru64 UNIX as follows for the following releases:

On Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 and later:

# inetd -h

On Tru64 UNIX systems prior to Version 5.1:

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

To create the /usr/ssl/certs/imapd.pem certificate file, you must get a key and certificate from a certificate authority. If you are running the Internet Express Secure Web Server and have enabled SSL for the Web Server, you might be able to use this key and certificate for the IMAP server. For example,

#cd /usr/internet/httpd/conf

#cat ssl.key/server.ky ssl.crt/server.crt > /usr/ssl/certs/imapd.pem

For information on configuring the UW-IMAP Server to use SSL, see the section titled “SSL Installation? in:

http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/SSLBUILD.html

Note:

When reviewing this information, be aware that the UW-IMAP Server from Internet Express is installed as /usr/bin/imapd and that the IMAP certificate must be installed as /usr/ssl/ certs/imapd.pem.

Viewing the IMAP Server Log

The entries in the server log file are generated from data in the /var/adm/syslog.dated directories.

To view the Cyrus IMAP or UW IMAP server log file:
