You can specify that encrypted mail sent to designated
mobile device users such as Blackberry® users be converted to MIME
and encrypted using S/MIME. This feature provides end-to-end encryption.
About this task
To send S/MIME-encrypted
mail to a mobile device user, the sender must use a Notes® 8.0.1 or later client. To decrypt the
S/MIME-encrypted mail, a recipient's Person document must have the Use
S/MIME format for incoming encrypted mail setting selected.
In addition, the recipient must have an Internet certificate in the Domino® Directory that has been
imported into the mobile device.
To specify users to receive
encrypted mail in S/MIME format, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- In the Domino Administrator
client, click People & Groups.
- Select the names of the Blackberry users to receive S/MIME-encrypted
mail.
- Click .
- Select Use S/MIME format for incoming encrypted
mail.
- Optional: Select Only do so if no
loss of fidelity in Notes RTF to MIME conversion.
If you select this option, the Notes mail format and Notes encryption are used instead if messages
contain any of the following elements which lose fidelity when converted
to MIME and S/MIME: action hotspots, embedded elements, objects, buttons,
or stored forms. Messages that contain visual elements such as sections,
page breaks, or highlighting are converted to S/MIME format regardless
of this setting.
This option takes effect only if senders use Notes 8.5 or higher clients. If
you do not select this option, or if a sender uses a release earlier
than Notes 8.5, the sender
sees a warning when sending a message that contains elements that
would lose fidelity.
Results
The settings are added to the Encryption Capabilities section
in the Administration tab of Person documents.
To change the settings, use the Encryption Capabilities tool described
previously.
Note: S/MIME format will
also be used to encrypt unencrypted incoming mail if recipients have
selected the security option When receiving unencrypted
mail, encrypt before storing in your mailfile.
