Authentication

An authentication method to be used by the Manager.

Enable SMTP email proxy

If you use an SMTP email proxy, select this option to enable the proxy.

Cryptographic Protocols

If the Enable SSL/TLS setting is selected, you can specify the cryptographic protocols with which the Manager will send e-mails.

Otherwise, TLC will use all protocols in this field for e-mail communications.

Note: To successfully employ a cryptographic protocol for e-mail, the protocol must also be enabled in: 

The e-mail server

The operating system of the e-mail server

The operating system of your TLC Manager

TLC will employ the most secure protocol supported by all of these systems.
