register_domains
When registering domains to the Trend Micro Email Encryption Server, email messages are sent to the following email addresses to verify ownership of the domains:
postmaster@<domain>
webmaster@<domain>
the email address returned from a WHOIS lookup for the domain
The postmaster and webmaster accounts must exist and be enabled before domains can be registered.
Trend Micro sends an email message to the "Contact Information" email address to verify that the domain exists and that the postmaster@<domain> and webmaster@<domain> accounts exist and are enabled.
One of the following must
respond to the verification email:
- postmaster@<domain>
- webmaster@<domain>
- the email address returned from a WHOIS lookup for the domain
By design, after a domain is registered, it cannot be re-registered. If a domain has already been registered, subsequent re-registration results in a "domain already registered" error. This is enforced for the purpose of security. If there is a need to reinstall IMSVA, backup the database prior to re-installation, and restore it afterwards. This eliminates the need to re-register IMSVA and the same domains after re-installation.
IMSVA must be registered to the encryption service before any domains can be registered.
The default sender address for your domains will be postmaster@<domain>. You can customize the default sender address from the Encryption Settings screen.
The default sender address is used when IMSVA trys to encrypt an email message, but whose domain is not in the Domain List. IMSVA signs these email messages with the default sender address.
To register domains to the encryption service:
Policy > Encryption Settings
Navigate to the Encryption Settings screen.
Click Add on the Domains tab.
Add the domains you want to protect to the domain list. Domains can be manually typed or selected from a list of existing domains. Up to 10 domains can be added at a time.
Domains and their sub-domains
are treated as unique entries. Sub-domains must be added separately to
the domain list.
Wildcards cannot be used to include sub-domains.
LDAP groups (entries starting with" LDAP") cannot be
added to the domain list.
Click Save A progress bar appears as the domain information is sent to the Trend Micro Email Encryption Server. A confirmation screen appears that verifies the domain information was received by the Trend Micro Encryption Server.
Read the instructions about what to do once you receive the verification key file.
Click Done. The domains appear in the Domain list on the Domain tab and a message about the Domain tab.
If you are the registered owner of the domain, reply to the confirmation email from the Trend Micro Encryption Server. The email is sent to postmaster@<domain> and webmaster@<domain>. When your domains are approved, you receive the domain ownership verification key file. You must reply to the confirmation mail to prove that you are the owner of the domain.
It may take one or two working
days before you receive the key file to register the domain(s) to the
encryption service. A key file is sent for each domain that is registered.
If you do not receive an email within 3 working days, contact your
sales representative.
Once you receive the key file, save it to a secure location.
Navigate to the Encryption Settings screen.
Click Browse and locate the key.
Click Upload. A confirmation message appears when registration completes successfully.
