Sending S/MIME Signed messages on an iOS device

In order to send S/MIME signed messages, an S/MIME signing credential must be added in settings and the Default Encryption Type must be set to S/MIME.

Once the Default Encryption Type is set to S/MIME, choosing the Sign (S/MIME) option during message composition will sign the outgoing message.

How do I send an S/MIME signed message?

  1. Click on the New message icon on HCL Verse iOS.
  2. On the Mail Compose screen, enter the recipients information, subject and body of the email the same way you would compose a standard mail message.
  3. Click on the Mail Options icon to launch the Mail Options dialog.
  4. Toggle the Sign (S/SMIME) switch to sign the message.
  5. Click "Done" to go back to the Mail Compose screen.
  6. Click "Send" to send the email as S/MIME signed.
Note: If the S/MIME signing credential is expired, a prompt will be displayed to you. Click “Send Anyway” to continue sending the signed message with the expired S/MIME credential. Otherwise, click "Cancel" to replace your expired S/MIME credential and sign again.
