Enabling secure email for IEE notifications
The Secure Email feature allows IEE to send encrypted e-mail to users. Encryption requires both the sender and receiver to install digital signature certificates.
Note: Individual users can still receive unencrypted e-mail even if the IEE default is to use encryption. Encryption settings on an individual user basis are configured in the IEE Web Client; see the Web Client Help for more information.
