# CommsAllowUnencrypted

DEPRECATED: The `CommsAllowUnencrypted` parameter is deprecated for IMAP Connector version 12.6.0 and later.

Instead of using ACI encryption, Micro Focus recommends configuring Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections between ACI servers and applications. For more information, see Secure Socket Layer Parameters.

You can use GSS authorization without using ACI encryption by configuring the GSSServiceName and RequireGSSAuth parameters.

The `CommsAllowUnencrypted` parameter is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The parameter might be deleted in future.

Accept unencrypted requests. Type `True` to allow the server to accept unencrypted requests.

Type `False` to instruct the server to ignore unencrypted requests.

If you set `CommsAllowUnencrypted` to `False` and the server receives an unencrypted request, it returns an error that unencrypted communications are disallowed.
