Problem connecting to Exchange 2003/2007 mailbox over TLS using IMAP

806677Sep 27 2011 — edited Sep 28 2011

I am trying to connect to an Exchange Server 2003 mailbox using IMAP over TLS. I have enabled TLS on Exchange 2003 and I am using a self-signed certificate there. The code I wrote is below:

import java.security.Security;
import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException;
import javax.mail.Session;

import com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPSSLStore;
import com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore;

public class TestIMAP {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 * @throws MessagingException 
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws MessagingException {
		String host = "192.168.0.136";
		String userid = "user";
		String password = "password";
		int imapPort = 143;
		
		Properties props = new Properties();
		
		props.put("mail.imap.starttls.enable", "true");
 
		props.setProperty("mail.debug", "true");
		
		Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(props);
		
		IMAPStore store = (IMAPStore) mailSession.getStore("imap");
		store.connect(host, imapPort, userid, password);
		
		System.out.println("Connected successfully.");
	}
}

This code does not work as expected and following exception is thrown:

Could someone explain why I am getting this error? What can I do to resolve this error? am I missing something in my code or at Exchange server 2003 settings? Any help would be much appreciated.

When I try to connect to an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox using the same code above *(but with one additional property set)*:

Security.setProperty( "ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "my_pack.rmi.ssl.TrustAllSSLSocketFactory");

I get following exception:
