SharePoint Email configuration using TLS on Windows Server
2008
Steps:
1.
The foremost step in this configuration is to
setup the SMTP server settings in SharePoint. This configuration setting is
available in Central Admin > System Settings > E-Mail and Text Messages
2.
Now we need to specify the outbound SMTP server
details. Here in our case we are going to use the current server as email
sender to relay emails to remote mail server using TLS. So we need to specify
the name of current machine where the central admin is hosted. It is advisable
to specify the central admin host server name only because it will not conflict
in farm environment with multiple WFE's. Specify the server name and from email
address which is the admin email id that we are going to use in next steps also.
3.
It's time now to set the Front End Web server
where central admin is hosted. We need to configure SMTP server settings in
this step.
a.
If SMTP server is not installed on your server
then install this feature from service manager. This is a screenshot of windows
server 2008 which might be different in earlier versions
Open IIS6 and expand the properties of SMTP Virtual server node.
Now go to delivery tab and select outbound security button. Specify the
user credentials that have access to send email on the remote exchange server.
Enable TLS encryption settings here if the server requires TSL encryption.
Now go to outbound connections tab if you want to change the TCP Port
settings. By default its set to 25 but we can change it to our configuration
Now go to advanced setting for specifying the server address. Put the URL
or IP address in smart host text box.
These
are all settings you need to do at the SharePoint end to send emails from
SharePoint server with TLS encryptions on Windows server 2008. This post
doesn't include any settings that you need to do at email server level. Feel
free to ask if you want to know more about these configurations at either
server.
