mailsetting storage central-ibe

mailsetting storage central-ibe

Use this command to configure storage of IBE encrypted email.

To reduce the storage resources required on lower-end FortiMail units, you can configure them to store encrypted email on a high-end FortiMail unit that you have configured to act as a centralized storage server.

Syntax

config mailsetting storage central-ibe

set remote-storage-type {disable | from-client | to-server-over-ssl}

set client-ip <client_ipv4>

set server-host <server_ipv4>

set server-name <name_str>

end

Variable

Description

Default

remote-storage-type {disable | from-client | to-server-over-ssl}

Enter one of the following centralized IBE types:

  • disable: Centralized IBE storage is disabled. The FortiMail unit stores its IBE messages locally, on its own hard disks.
  • from-client: Select this option to allow the FortiMail unit to act as a central IBE storage server and receive IBE email from the client FortiMail units. Also configure client-ip <client_ipv4> for each FortiMail client. Note this feature is only available on the high-end FortiMail models (FortiMail 1000D and above).
  • to-server-over-ssl: Select this option to allow the FortiMail unit to act as a central IBE storage client and send its IBE messages to the remote FortiMail server. Also configure server-name <name_str> and server-host <server_ipv4>. All FortiMail units can act as clients.

disable
