Configuring Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

You can configure the Web Server on which Communications Express is deployed in SSL mode. For information on how to configure the Web Server on which Communications Express is deployed in SSL mode, refer to Sun ONE Web Server Administrator’s Configuration File Reference

To Use Communications Express in the SSL mode

Steps

1. Edit the following configuration parameters in uwc-deployed-path /WEB-INF/config/uwcauth.properties:

   • uwcauth.ssl.enabled=true

     • uwcauth.https.port=SSL-port-number-of -the webserver-in which-uwc-is-deployed

       Communications Express can also be configured for SSL, for authentication only. Implying, authentication can be performed over SSL, but access of the application thereafter is over non-SSL mode.

2. You need to set the local.webmail.sso.uwcport Messenger Express parameter value to the SSL port-number of the Web Server in which Communications Express is deployed.

   For example,

   local.webmail.sso.uwcport=SSL port-number of the webserver in which communications express is deployed

To Configure Communications Express for SSL, for Authentication Only

Steps

1. Set uwcauth.ssl.enabled to “false” in uwcauth.properties file.

2. Set uwcauth.https.port to the SSL port number of the Web Server in which Communications Express is deployed.

3. Set uwcauth.ssl.authonly to “true.”

   Note –

   The two parameters, uwcauth.ssl.authonly and uwcauth.ssl.enabled are mutually exclusive .

   Messaging SSO is not supported in SSL.
