Use SSL for Outgoing Connection / Incoming Connection Radio Buttons Greyed Out for CRM Server Side Sync POP3-SMTP Profile

If you need to create a Server Side Sync profile for your POP3 and/or SMTP servers without using SSL for your on-premise CRM 2013, 2015, or 2016 environments you may notice that you are unable to change the option to not use SSL. The radio buttons are simply greyed out and stuck set to “Yes”. This can be problematic if you want to run over basic HTTP.


Luckily, these buttons can be enabled via the following PowerShell commands run on the CRM server:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.Powershell
$setting=Get-CrmSetting ServerSideSyncEmailSettings
$setting.AllowNonSSLEmail=$True
Set-CrmSetting $setting
Get-CrmSetting -SettingType ServerSideSyncEmailsettings
Exit

After the commands are complete, refresh your browser and the buttons should now be active.

  1. Managing SSL configurations, authentication settings, and secure email communication is an important aspect of enterprise systems administration. Articles like this provide valuable insights into security configuration and protocol management, which are extensively explored through Information Security Projects, where students learn about secure communication, access control, and information protection mechanisms.

  2. Understanding how SSL affects POP3, SMTP, and enterprise messaging systems is also closely related to modern cyber defence strategies. Practical implementations involving secure protocols, email security, and risk mitigation can be explored further through Cyber Security Projects for Final Year Students, helping learners gain hands-on experience with real-world security challenges and enterprise protection techniques.
