Configuring message encryption on Android devices
| **How do I...** | **Action** |
| Default to signing and/or encryption on new messages and replies? | 1. Check "Sign messages that I send" and "Encrypt messages that I send" as desired. |
| Choose between using Notes and S/MIME encryption? | 1. Select “Default Encryption Type” and choose the preferred encryption type. **Note:** This setting is only enabled once at least one S/MIME credential has been added for use with HCL Domino Workspace Mail for Android. **Note:** This setting is changed to S/MIME automatically when an S/MIME credential is added. **Note:** It is not possible to switch between Notes and S/MIME encryption on a per-message basis. |
| Manage the S/MIME Credentials? | 1. Select “Choose S/MIME Credential”. 2. Click “Add Credential” at the bottom of the screen to choose the S/MIME p12 credential file to install. 3. Enter the password for the p12 file and then give it a user-friendly name to refer to it later, if needed. 4. After the credential is added, tap on the star to select the credential to use for signing outgoing messages. **Note:** When receiving an S/MIME encrypted message, all credentials will be considered for decryption. |
| View the collected S/MIME Certificates? | 1. Select “Collected S/MIME Certificates”. 2. A list of the collected S/MIME certificates will be displayed. **Note:** There is no reason to actively manage this list, but the delete icon can be used if needed to delete one of the collected S/MIME certificates if needed. **Note:** The primary mechanism for gathering S/MIME certificates for use in S/MIME encryption is the collection of the S/MIME certificates from received S/MIME signed emails, but they can also be added via the “Add Certificate” button on this panel. PEM formatted certificates can be added via this action. |
