Manager Account

After successfully installing the SSLPost plugin, you must create a "manager" account for each domain that your users are part of, for example anyone who has an email address associated to a domain must have a manager account associated.  The manager account should not be a natural person and could be setup as either an inbox or a distribution box on your Corporate Mail server. An example would be "sslpost@example.com"

To signup for a manager account please create an SSLPost account at https://secure.sslpost.com/app/signup , once you have signed up you will receive a validation email where by you can set your account password, it is suggested you select a sufficiently complex password, a minimum of 8 characters , 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase is mandatory.

After you have completed the signup process for the manager user, please email support@sslpost.com  to request the account is configured with the manager and send on behalf of flag. If you already have a user who exists in the domain, you will need the user to be associated with the manager, if the user is new to SSLPost the association will be automatic once they send a document or page from within Confluence
