Whether to use transport-layer security (TLS). If selected, the truststore configured for Mediator must include a certificate in the email server's certificate chain.

This requires that both a keystore and truststore be configured for Integration Server. For information about configuring keystores and truststores for Integration Server, see the Securing Communications with the Server section in the document webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.

Note:

You must also specify a value for the IS Truststore Name field in the Mediator Configuration screen (see Configuring Keystore).

If the configuration is...	Then...
Successful	Mediator sends an email to the address you entered in the Test Recipient field and displays a verification message.
Not successful	Mediator displays an error message. Reconfigure your email settings and try again.

Note:

Additional parameters are available in the Mediator properties file, see the section pg.email in Advanced Settings and Server Configuration Parameters.
