Configuring Algorithms for Outbound Emails

To verify and decode signed outbound emails, you must configure the following parameters in the psappsrv.cfg or psprcs.cfg files, using the SMTP Settings section that already contains outbound email settings:

• SMTPSMIMEEncryption

• SMTPSMIMESignature

• SMTPSMIMEHandling

• SMTPSMIMEHandling1

• SMTPSMIMEEncryption1

• SMTPSMIMESignature1

To configure outbound signed emails:

1. Configure the smime_signed_sign algorithm.

   See Emails — smime_signed_sign section in Security Administration: Understanding the Supported Algorithms.

2. Add the email sender's private key passphrase to the MCF configuration page.

   Note:

   You must not configure the private key passphrase in the keyset.

To configure outbound encrypted emails:

1. Configure the smime_encrypted_encrypt algorithm.

   See Emails — smime_encrypted_encrypt section in Security Administration: Understanding the Supported Algorithms.

2. Add the email receiver's private key passphrase to the MCF configuration page.

   Note:

   You must not configure the private key passphrase in the keyset.

To configure outbound emails that are both signed and encrypted:

1. Configure the smime_signandencrypt_signandencrypt algorithm.

   See Emails — smime_signandencrypt_signandencrypt section in Security Administration: Understanding the Supported Algorithms.

2. Add the email sender's private key passphrase to the MCF configuration page.

   Note:

   You must not configure the private key passphrase in the keyset.
