Symptoms
Self Hosted Instance, you have created an email account, but when testing the connection it shows "Connect failed". The account is configured to use SSL.
Release
Applies to any release.
Environment
Self Hosted Instance
Cause
The SSL handshake fails, to verify this is the issue do the following:
Create the system property based on the Email Account type failing to connect:
For pop3:
Name = glide.pop3.debug
Type = true|false
Value = true
For imap:
Name = glide.imap.debug
Type = true|false
Value = true
For smtp:
Name = glide.smtp.debug
Type = true|false
Value = true
On the instance nodes modify the wrapper.conf file to add the java start property -Djavax.net.debug=all - /glide/nodes/<instance_info>/conf/wrapper.conf:
# NOTE: This spacer is for custom, per-instance expansion:
wrapper.java.additional.9=-Djavax.net.debug=all
Then restart the instance nodes.
Check the wrapper_<date>.log and see the following - in this example glide.pop3.debug is set to true:

This is a SSL handshake error:

Resolution
There are two possible solutions:
- Execute this from the command line of one of the instance nodes, then add the appropriate X.509 SSL certificate to the instance:
openssl s_client -connect <email account hostname>:<SSL port> -showcerts
For example:
openssl s_client -connect mymail.sn.com:995 -showcerts
You should see an X.509 cert that looks something like this in the output:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFPTCCBCWgAwIBAgIQYPiq3h8HUIMAAAAAUN/oujANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADCB
.......
liGTZg98uJJfH/PQMfGzX20sG5QerWom+0VkvF4xDWZ+VDZFHNNCOQnb1U+/GIDT
5Q==
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Take that and on the instance go to System Definition -> Certificates -> select New:
Name = <name of your choice>
In the "PEM Certificate" field copy and paste everything including the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- and of course all of the base-64 encoding between
Save that and try the connection again
- This avoids the need to supply the X.509 SSL certificate in the instance from the first solution above, modify or create these two system properties as follows:
Name = com.glide.communications.trustmanager_trust_all
Type = true|false
Value = true
and
Name = com.glide.communications.httpclient.verify_hostname
Type = true|false
Value = false
