wodImapServer ActiveX Component - Security Property

Security Property

Description

Determines if SSL is used.

Property type

An ImapSecurityEnum enumeration.

Syntax

object.Security [= value]

The Security Property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An expression evaluating to an object of type wodImapServer.
value	An ImapSecurityEnum enumeration, as described in settings.

Settings

The settings for value are:

Constant		Value	Description
	SecurityNone	0	No security required.
	SecurityAllowed	1	Security allowed, but not required.
	SecurityRequired	2	Security is required.
	SecurityImplicit	3	Implicit security through SSL wrapper.

Remarks

This property defines if wodImapServer will require SSL encryption to be used by clients when they try to read messages. You should set it to one of constants defined in ImapSecurity. It defaults to SecurityNone since most mail clients don't use SSL encryption by default.

When set to SecurityAllowed, then server will accept STARTTLS command, but will not require it for accessing messages.

If SecurityRequired is chosen, server will not allow messages to be accessed unless client sent STARTTLS command.

If SecurityImplicit is chosen, server will negotiate SSL connection even before any (IMAP specific) data is sent through the socket. Usually, server should be running on port 993 when this type is selected.

When you set Security property, make sure Certificate is set also.
