Checking the 'Journal Reports settings' advanced SMTP policy setting

Enterprise Vault 12.4 now supports the decryption of Office 365 RMS encrypted messages by using Azure Rights Management Services (RMS). The new setting, Decrypt RMS Protected Items, has been added to the advanced SMTP policy setting, Journal Reports settings.

To allow Enterprise Vault to decrypt RMS-protected messages, check that the following settings are applied:

  • ClearText copies of RMS Protected items

    This is an existing setting. Set this to Treat as Secondary.

  • Decrypt RMS Protected Items

    This is the new setting. Set this to Decrypt for journal archives only.

For information about these values, see the section, "Journal Reports settings" (Advanced SMTP policy settings)", in the Administrator's Guide.
