I would like to configure ARIS Connect 10 to use authenticated SMTP to talk with our Exchange server. Mailserver and port are OK, as should be the SSL mode (STARTTLS), but there seems to be a certificate problem

I added a certificate for our domain to the keystore (assuming it was [ARIS10.0 folder]\server\jre\lib\security\cacerts), using keytool in the jre\bin folder

Now I don't know if I still fail because

  1. I used the wrong keystore
  2. The keystore has to be configured somehow
  3. The certifcate was of the wrong type 

I am quite sure that 3 is the case, because I was searching in the dark. The certificate was a valid domain wildcard signed by GlobalSign, but had nothing specifically about the server ARIS Connect is running on nor the Exchange server.

I'd appreciate help.
