Step 17. Configuring integration with a mail server via POP3

At this step you can configure integration with a mail server via the POP3 protocol after preparing the IT infrastructure of your organization.

To give up integration with a mail server via POP3:

In the Enable POP3 processing window, click No.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.

To configure integration with a mail server via POP3:

1. In the Enable POP3 processing window, click Yes.

   This opens a window allowing you to configure integration with a mail server via POP3.

2. Select the Server setting.
3. Press ENTER.

   This opens the POP3 server window.

4. In the Server field, enter the IP address of the mail server with which you need to configure integration.
5. Click Ok.

   The Setup Wizard returns to the window used for configuring integration with a mail server via POP3.

6. Select the Encrypted setting.
7. Press ENTER.
   • If the encrypted connection with the mail server has been disabled, it will be re-enabled. The value yes will be displayed opposite the name of the Encrypted setting.
   • If the encrypted connection with the mail server has been enabled, it will be disabled. The value no will be displayed opposite the name of the Encrypted setting.
8. Select the Username setting.
9. Press ENTER.

   This opens the POP3 access window.

10. In the Username field, enter the account name to obtain access to the mail server via POP3.
11. In the Password field, enter the password to obtain access to the mail server.
12. Click Ok.

    The Setup Wizard returns to the window used for configuring integration with a mail server via POP3.

13. Select Check interval.
14. Press ENTER.

    This opens the Check interval window.

15. In the Check interval field, enter the mail server connection frequency (in seconds).
16. Click Ok.

    The Setup Wizard returns to the window used for configuring integration with a mail server via POP3.

17. In the Accepts certificates section, configure the settings for TLS encryption of the connection between Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform and external mail servers over the POP3 protocol.
    • If you want the program to accept any TLS certificates when connecting to external mail servers:
      1. Select the any certificate option.
      2. Press ENTER to display the yes value opposite the any certificate option.
    • If you want the program to accept untrusted self-signed TLS certificates when connecting to external mail servers:
      1. Select the untrusted self-signed option.
      2. Press ENTER to display the yes value opposite the untrusted self-signed option.
    • If you want the program to accept only trusted TLS certificates when connecting to external mail servers:
      1. Select the any certificate option.
      2. Press ENTER to display the no value opposite the any certificate option.
      3. Select the untrusted self-signed option.
      4. Press ENTER to display the no value opposite the untrusted self-signed option.

      When establishing a connection with an external mail server, it is recommended to configure the acceptance of only trusted TLS certificates. If you accept untrusted TLS certificates, protection of the connection against MITM attacks cannot be guaranteed. Even though the acceptance of trusted TLS certificates also cannot guarantee protection of the connection against MITM attacks, it is the most secure of the supported methods for integration with a mail server over the POP3 protocol.

18. If necessary, in the Cipher list section, modify the OpenSSL settings used when establishing a connection with a mail server over the POP3 protocol. Perform the following actions:
    1. Select edit.
    2. Press ENTER.

       The Cipher list window opens.

    3. In the Cipher list field, modify the set of ciphers.
19. Click Ok.

    The Setup Wizard returns to the window used for configuring integration with a mail server via POP3.

20. Select Continue.
21. Press ENTER.

The Setup Wizard proceeds to the next step.
