STARTTLS provides the means to provide an encrypted, secure
communication channel by using either Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL). It can be enabled within IXIA CCMS Scheduler by editing
schedule.xml.
To add STARTTLS authentication support to CCMS Scheduler, do the following:
-
Open the %SchedulerDir%/conf/schedule.xml file.
-
Look for the default SMPT connection definition; it should be
as follows:
<smtp url="smtp.ixiasoft.local" port="25" email="scheduler-noreply@ixiasoft.com" />
-
Edit the line to add the following STARTTLS attributes,
similar to the following:
<smtp url="smtp.ixiasoft.local" port="25" email="scheduler-noreply@ixiasoft.com" starttls="true"
username="<username>" password="<password>" trust="<hostname>" />
Where:

When you are done, save and close the schedule.xml file.
