Certificate for External Password Encryption

Enter the name of the certificate used for encrypting e-mail and SMS passwords.

This certificate must be installed on the server(s) where the Agent Server and CEM Server packages are installed. If sending e-mails and SMS are secured with a password, it must be installed also on the server(s) where Email Sender and SMS Server packages are installed.

Always define this certificate for Agent Servers that are used for administration.

Note:

This certificate has been made mandatory in 1608. If you have used password for e-mail queues and SMS module without encryption, you must re-enter the password in SC, otherwise e-mail and SMS sending may not work.

The certificate that is used for encryption, is used also for decryption even if that certificate has expired. If the expired certificate is removed from the system, encryption/decryption will fail. To avoid that, do not remove the expired certificate from the server. If the certificate has been removed, to correct the situation re-enter the passwords in System Configurator in

  • System Services > E-Mail Settings > External Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) > Password.

  • System Management > Modules > SMS Server > Password.

Moved from Terminal Server to Agent Server in 1608.

Maximum Number of Message Processing Threads

Number of user message processing threads used by Agent Server, defines how many messages can be handled simultaneously. Be careful not to enhance the value too much if there are other servers installed on the same computer, and always use a value smaller than the number of cores in the processor.

Moved from Terminal Server to Agent Server in 1608.

Comma-separated list of SIP proxy URLs. Add also prefix, for example wss://myproxy:5060. If proxies are not defined, ECF phone widget does not work. Added in 1608.

In versions prior to 1705: Name of the SIP host for client registration. When clients register, they set address as {clientaddress}@{[SIP Host Name]}.
