can we receieve only Encrypted Email by our Domino Server?

Hi,

We are using Domino Server. We want to receieve only encrypted emails from out side the domain. We have our Standalone CA Server. I think for that our Public Key must be accessible to external user or client that are not using our domain. If it is possible by using Public key then how the external client will use or access our Public Key?

If there is any other possible solution please suggest.

I am not sure that this is easily possible.

You may need a third party program like PGP.

This may also be Version dependent.
I would contact IBM and ask them for more info regarding this.

I hope this helps !

Well basically, let me elaborate my question further. I have a standalone CA on my Lotus Domino Server version 7.0.2. I want some of my customers/clients/external users to send me encrypted emails. As per theory, they need to have my public key in order to send me an encrypted email and all I will be needing to decrypt that email would be my private key (which supposedly should already be with me). As, in Domino we can assign inetrent certificates to users (now those certficates are digital certificates that should contain public and private keys), my actual question is that how can I export/send my public key to the external user(s). I hope I made it clear this time.

SysExpert

OK.

I would check the Admin client help on CA, certificate authority and integrating with other mail systems, also SMTP mail

I still think that you may need a third party program, but I have never had to do this....

I hope this helps !

I have read the thread listed by you and it has helped me a lot in getting the solution to my proble. However, I have one confusion, I already have a CA process running on my Domino Server and teh CA is activitaed as well but it doesn't show up when I try to assign internet certificate to a user using Admin client. Any clue?

SysExpert

Double check that you have followed all the steps per the Admin client help.

If it still is not working, it is time to call iBM support...
