Data synchronization with mobile devices
194
The This server requires an encrypted (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 a certificate signed by an internal cer-
tification authority, 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. In chapter
Kerio
MailServer, Administrator’s Guide also provides instructions on installation of certificates
on Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition.
Once the server name is set and SSL encryption enabled, click on Next to open the following
