Chapter 4 Data synchronization with mobile devices

This server uses an SSL connection
TheThis server uses an SSL connection option allows encryption of any traffic between
the server and the device. It is highly recommended to keep the option enabled to
protect your connections from debugging and misuse. This measure protects your
fragile information, such as username and password. If connections are not secured,
unauthorized users might misuse fragile data to manipulate with the email account
as well as operate in your company’s network in case the username and password
used for these are identical.
To allow the encryption, it is required that an SSL certificate is installed on the device.
If your company uses certificates authorized by a commercial certification authority,
it is possible that your device already includes support for SSL encryption.
If the company uses a certificate generated by Kerio MailServer or another internal
certificate, it is necessary to install another certificate on the device; otherwise, the
synchronization would not work. To get information on how to install such certifi-
cates, contact your network administrator. Also Kerio MailServer, Administrator’s
Guide provides instructions on installation of certificates in chapter Support for
ActiveSync.
