Hello,

for whatever reason (shortsighted-ness), the IMAPS server functionality uses Java system properties instead of configured properties from alfresco-global.properties (or the subsystem properties files) to configure the keystore for the certificate. This is mentioned in comments within the default imap-server.properties file.
You need to set javax.net.ssl.keyStore and javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword via -D start parameters to provide the server certificate.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I also tried it now with setting the keystore as a java system property, unfortunately the result is the same.

For the keystore: what i did here is importing the ssl certificate of the server into the keystore. Is this the proper way, or does alfresco need a certain certificate in order to work?

Kind Regards,
Uwe

Meanwhile i was able to find the problem - after creating a new keystore with a new key i am now able to connect over IMAPS.
