ROHAN Academic Computing

New SSL Root Certificate is now in use. If you see a SSL security certificate warning, your email client may not have this certificate. The issuer of the SSL Certificates used by Rohan, ipsCA.com, has recently renewed their root CA. The new root CA expires in 2029. Until the new Root CA is included you may experience this problem.

Install the new ipsCA Root Certificate Bundle and import it in your email client.

• Eudora and Outlook use the new certificate after following the directions for IE here.
• Palm Pre directions for importing the certificate are here.
• Thunderbird imports the downloaded certificate by selecting Tools -> Options -> Certificates -> View Certificates -> Authorities -> Import.

Only email clients configured to use secure settings are able to connect to the Rohan email server.

Unless configured to use secure (encrypted) protocols, email programs send your username, password, and email content as clear text that could possibly be intercepted by others, particularly on a wireless network. Check your email programs to make sure incomming (IMAP or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are configured with secure settings:

• Use SSL port for IMAP (993) or POP (995).
• Use SSL port 587 for SMTP
