If you configure Rational®
ClearQuest®
EmailRelay to use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Security (SMTPS) as the communication protocol for
your email server, you must import the signer certificate for your email server. Then, EmailRelay
can communicate with the email server over SSL using SMTPS.
Procedure
- Configure EmailRelay using the cqemailrelay.pl Perl script. Set the
-usessl command parameter to yes. See the last line of this code
example:
cqperl cqemailrelay.pl -dbset EmailRelay -userdb SAMPL -username admin -password secret -serverurl https://your-cqweb-server/cqweb/oslc/ -relaycfgdir C:\CQ.EmailRelay -mode postoffice -smtpserver your.smtp.server -smtpport 465 -smtpuser you@your.smtp.server -smtppassword secret -usessl yes
- Add the following line to the <properties> section of the EmailRelay
configuration file: C:\CQ.EmailRelay\cqemailrelay_cfg.xml: <property
key="mail.smtps.ssl.protocols" val="SSLv3"/>
- Use the IBM®
WebSphere® administrative console to log in to the
WebSphere Application Server profile on which you have Rational
ClearQuest deployed. Complete these steps:
- Log in to WebSphere at
http://localhost:12060/ibm/console/. If your Rational
ClearQuest Web server uses a different port, specify
that port instead.
- Expand Security, and then click SSL certificate and key
management.
- Under the Configuration settings section, click Manage
endpoint security configurations.
- Under Local Topology, expand Outbound, expand
dfltCell, expand nodes. Click
dfltNode.
- Under the Related Items section, click Key stores and
certificates.
- Click NodeDefaultTrustStore.
- Under the Additional Properties section, click Signer
certificates.
- Click Retrieve from port.
- In the Host field, enter your email server name or IP address. In the
Port field, enter the port that your email server is listening on. In the
Alias field, specify a name for this certificate so that you can identify
it.
- Click Retrieve signer information, and then verify that the certificate
information is correct.
- Click OK. In the Messages section, click
Save.
- Restart the WebSphere profile for the change to
take effect.
