How users manage digital certificates in Entourage 2008

To use encryption and digital signature features, the user must have a digital certificate - the combination of a user's certificate and public and private encryption key set. Digital certificates, also known as digital IDs, help to keep users' e-mail messages secure by letting them exchange cryptographic messages. Managing digital certificates includes:

Obtaining digital certificates

Importing, exporting, or deleting a certificate from your computer

Installing root certificates

Obtaining digital certificates

You can issue a self-signed certificate or you can purchase digital certificates from a certification authority (CA). For more information about how to obtain a digital certificate from a Certification Authority, visit the Office Marketplace digital ID page on the Microsoft Office Web site (office.microsoft.com).

Importing, exporting, or deleting a certificate from the user computer

For more information about how to import, export, or delete digital certificates, see Entourage Help.

Installing root certificates

Entourage uses root certificates, also called anchor certificates, to verify the authenticity of all certificates that derive from it in a chain of trust. Mac OS X comes with a default set of root certificates that are trusted. But users might have to install additional root certificates on their computers in order to verify certificates that are issued by non-standard CAs.

To install a root certificate on the computer, the person installing it must have access to an administrator account. Entourage looks for root certificates in the following locations:

X509 Anchors keychain on Mac OS X

X509 Anchors (not visible by default) and the login keychains on Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) and later

Caution

Entourage 2008 does not recognize any trust level settings defined for a certificate. The improved Trust Settings in Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) allow you to configure different levels of trust. For example, you can configure to Always Trust or Never Trust a certificate. However, Entourage will ignore these settings.
