4 Overview This document will cover the configuration process for allowing Goliath Application Availability Monitor to use SSL/TLS for configuring notifications with SMTP. I. Create a Local Service Account In order for the SSL/TLS wrapper to work, you ll need a user account that is logged into the Goliath Server at all times. You can use an existing account or create a new service account.

Sign into the Goliath Server with the local or domain service account that will be used for enabling notifications 2. Download the Auto Logon Utility. This utility will be used to enable auto-logons for this service account so that if for any reason the server is rebooted, the service account will be automatically signed back in. 3. Extract the Auto Logon Utility from the zip file and run the executable 4. Complete the form with the appropriate credentials for the service account a. If this account is local, enter localhost in the domain field II. Download and Configure STunnel Please follow the instructions below to download and configure STunnel. 1.
