Managing Domains

The Manage Domains tab enables the administrator to register new domains for use with IMSVA’s email encryption features. When a domain is registered with the encryption service, it is permitted to obtain private keys for email addresses on that domain, or any subdomain that belongs to the domain. For example, you want to register mycompany.org. After the registration is authorized and completed on the encryption service, IMSVA will be able to obtain private keys to decrypt email to user01@mycompany.org, user02@mycompany.org, and so on, as well as user01@admin.mycompany.org, user02@finance.mycompany.org. The security processes and checks to authorize an IMSVA domain registration, and will include checking publicly available information that might include contacting the domain registrant.

For security reasons, the person who is the registered owner of the domain will be contacted by the registration team to validate the IMSVA registration. Therefore, to register a domain, you must be the owner of, or have the permission of, the owner of the domain name.

You can remove a domain from IMSVA by selecting the [Delete] link next to the domain. This removes the registration information from the encryption service’s database and it will no longer be possible to obtain private keys for email addresses on this domain.
