Mobile APPs Configuration#

In order to access from a Zextras mobile app to your account, please follow the directions in this section. The procedure is required only when you configure the first APP, all the other will be able to reuse the credentials configured for the first App: in other words, the access credentials are shared among Zextras Apps.

For example, if you install the Carbonio Mail App and configure to access the account john@example.com, as soon as you install the Carbonio Files App, you will be able to automatically access the files stored in Carbonio Files for the same account.

In the remainder, we configure the Carbonio Mail App, but the directions are the same for other Apps.

Server Side Configuration#

The mobile application is enabled by default on all users. These are the only server-side requirements:

  • Port 443/HTTPS must accessible from the Internet

  • A valid SSL/TLS certificate must be available for the domain

    Note

    Directions to install a valid certificate can be found in section Deploy a Commercial SSL Certificate.

  • The user with whom you log in via the Carbonio CE Mail App must be existing and active

In order to login, in Fig. 14 provide the following date:

  • E-mail account name

  • Password

  • Server name, which must match the FQDN. It’s not necessary to enter the port number as 443 / HTTPS is set by default.

Authentication#

Carbonio Mail mobile app connects to the server through an HTTPS secure connection and Carbonio responds with its certificate. This process (called SSL handshake) provides data integrity and data privacy to the information transferred between the client and the server, which is encrypted, provided that the SSL certificate is active and not expired.
