Setting up SyncML within IceWarp Server

Selecting the SyncML tab shows the following screen:

SyncML General

Field

Description

Active

Check this option to enable SyncML on your server.

Authentication type

Choose between three ways of allowing authentication.

Any (Basic or MD5)

IceWarp Server will accept authentication with either Basic (Base64) encryption or MD5 encryption.

Basic authentication may be required for Users with older clients.

Require Basic

This option forces clients to use basic authentication. If a Client attempts to connect using MD5 authentication IceWarp Server will request that it try again with Basic authentication. If a second attempt is made with MD5 authentication then the connection is rejected.

Require MD5

This option forces clients to use MD5 authentication. If a Client attempts to connect using Basic authentication IceWarp Server will request that it try again with MD5 authentication. If a second attempt is made with Basic authentication then the connection is rejected.

NOTE - that selecting either of the "Require" options may stop some clients from using IceWarp Server's SyncML server. This is because some older clients do not have MD5 capabilities and some newer clients do not have Basic capabilities.

Logging

Choose a Logging option for the SyncML server. Logs are written to directory <InstallDirectory>/logs/syncml.

None

The logging is switched off.

Debug

The most detailed logging will be used, showing all SyncML events, including the actual data that was transferred.

Info

Very basic log showing connection start, connection end, and the elapsed time for IceWarp Server's processing. The difference between the total duration and IceWarp Server's processing is the time that the Client spent processing data.
