Setting Server Parameters for SSL or TLS

To ensure secure transactions between the Siebel Server and the email server, it is highly recommended that you set the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) server parameters in the procedure in this topic. This procedure describes how to set these server parameters to enable cryptographic authentication. After completing this procedure, restart the Siebel server to implement the parameter changes. For more information about the parameters for SSL and TLS, see Siebel Installation Guide and the topics in Siebel Security Guide about configuring encryption for Siebel Enterprise or Siebel Server.
