Moving the SMIME private key file - EMF 4.x

Moving the SMIME private key file - MMS 4.x

Summary:

Some customers have asked how to move the private key off the MMS server for storage elsewhere.

Detailed Information:

MMS stores its own private key in a file called WSS.KEY in the \smime directory (default c:\program files\tumbleweed\mms\smime).

If you wish to move this file to another location, you must also tell MMS where it can find the file.

Resolution:

In the \smime directory, look edit file called WSS.INI (you can create this file if it is not present).

In the [preferences] section, add the following line:

PrivateKeyFile=drive:\path\wss.key

i.e., PrivateKeyFile=q:\smime\wss.key
