The Email Signature Manager Client Access Service

The Email Signature Manager Client Access Service (CAS) provides a simple, configuration-free method for the Email Signature Manager Agent and Email Signature Manager Transport Agent to fetch signature settings. It is installed and started automatically with a Full Installation of Email Signature Manager. During installation, the following actions are performed:

•A Service Connection Point (SCP) is created in Active Directory and is used by the Agent and Transport Agent to automatically find the URL for the CAS.

•Port 5757 is opened in Windows Firewall to allow inbound TCP/IP connections to connect to the CAS.

The SCP and Windows Firewall rule can be managed using the Client Access Service tab on the Deployment Options dialog.

The Agent v1.2 and higher will automatically use the Client Access Server if it finds the SCP in Active Directory.
