Configuring a StartTLS connection to the SMTP server

Steps

To configure a StartTLS connection to the server, use the dsconfig command.

Example:

$ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name myTLSServer --type smtp \
  --set server-host-name:tls.smtp.example.com \
  --set server-port:587 \
  --set smtp-security:starttls \
  --set user-name:MyAccountName \
  --set password:AAD5yZ+DjvwiYkBSMer6GQ6B3szQ6gSSBjA=

To configure a newly-created SMTP server, use the dsconfig command.

Example:
```
$ bin/dsconfig set-global-configuration-prop \
  -set smtp-server:myTLSServer
```
This command adds the server to the global list of mail servers that the PingDirectory server can use.
