Web Messaging Security
Web Messaging offers several means of protecting your e-mail communications from being altered in transit or being read by someone other than the intended recipient.
Secure Mode. Enables Secure Sockets Layer connection and encryption. The SSL capabilities offer the most secure method of safeguarding e-mail messages. SSL will increase processing time on your server.
Logon User ID and password. Users must log on with their user ID and password. This provides the basic level of security that protects the user's mail.
Logoff. After reading mail in the browser and then logging off, a user cannot click the browser's Back button to return to a mail message. However, clicking in the History list may re-display the message, though the user cannot activate any of the mail functions. As a precaution, users can clear the browser's history if the browser is in a common use area.
When logging on to Web Messaging, users can choose either or both of the following options (on the Logon page):
expire page views. If you are logging on to mail from a public terminal or from someone else's computer, you can select this option to prevent the browser from saving (caching) the pages you view. Note that Microsoft's Internet Explorer can be set to ignore this "expire page views" command, so it is still possible your pages will be saved.
Remember Userid and Password (not recommended if you share this computer). This option will save your User ID and password in a file, so you do not have to enter them each time you log on to Web Messaging. When you log on, the browser automatically enters your User ID and Password. Note that if you select this option, anyone who has access to the machine could connect to your e-mail through Web Messaging without having to enter your User ID and password. Do not use it on a public terminal.
