Does MSN Messenger support SSL connectivity?
Hello,
Does anyone know if any version of MSN Messenger supports SSL connectivity for relatively private / secure communications? If so, which version(s) support it and how does one turn it on? If not, does anyone know of an instant messaging solution that supports MSN contacts and SSL communications? I could not find information about such on Microsoft's websites. I do know that in many troubleshooting forums, SSL 2.0 and 3.0 should be turned on in IE's preferences; however, I did not know if this implicitly means that MSN Messenger itself also supports SSL. Thank you in advance, Joe |

Does MSN Messenger support SSL connectivity?
Greetings,
MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messegner don't support encryption (minus authentication), but you can add it using this (although your clients will need it as well for it to be encrypted): http://www.secway.fr/us/products/simplite_msn/home.php In a enterprise environment, using Live Communications Server and Windows Messenger/Office Communicator supports TLS and therefore is encrypted, but that would just be internal traffic. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
