Term glossary

SSL connection

  • Postman supports SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted connections i.e. POPS, IMAPS, HTTPS and SMTPS.
  • By using email software which supports the above SSL protocols, you can prevent your transmission from being tapped or tampered by a third party.

SMTP authentication

  • SMTP authentication (we use password authentication for it) is necessary before you send an email via Postman from networks other than RIKEN’s .
  • Please refer to the instruction manual of your email software on how to the setup SMTP authentication on your mailer.
