TLS Support

[Chris Miller]

Hi Folks,

My server supports TLS but Outlook 2003 only give me a checkbox for "SSL" --
which is close, but not quite the same thing. As a result, the server logs
show only confusion when I select this option. On the other hand, if I
clear this SSL option, then I can see the successful initial negotiation
but authentication fails because on a non-encrypted channel, the server only
permits encrypted authentication, like CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and GSSAPI none
of which seems to be SPA.

So, I either need Outlook 2003 to support TLS or one of the generally
recognized encryption standards. Can anybody tell me how to accomplish
either of these goals?

Thanks,

Chris.

If memory serves me right, you have to have a minimum of SP2 for
Office/Outlook 2003 installed. This is the only way to allow SSL/TLS on
non-standard ports to work for POP3 accounts.
