Configuring E-Mails with S/MIME (Mozilla Thunderbird)Locate this document in the navigation structure

If you use Mozilla Thunderbird, import the CA certificate into the secure storage of Mozilla Thunderbird as described in the Mozilla Thunderbird documentation.

Context

When Mozilla Thunderbird asks you whether you trust this CA to identify e-mail users, confirm this. Assume that the AS ABAP sends a signed e-mail with the certificate signature to the respective e-mail client.

Procedure

To ensure encryption, you need to import the certificate for encryption from the signed e-mail into your Microsoft Outlook address book. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the received signed e-mail that contains the certificate signature for encryption in Microsoft Outlook.
  2. From the context menu of the e-mail address, choose to add the address to your Outlook contacts.
  3. Save your changes and close the window.
  4. (Optional) To ensure encryption, you need to import the certificate for encryption from the signed e-mail into the Mozilla Thunderbird certificate manager. To do this, proceed as follows:
    1. Open the received signed e-mail that contains the certificate signature for encryption in Mozilla Thunderbird.
    2. Mozilla Thunderbird automatically adds the sender's certificate to the certificate manager.
    3. Save your entries.
