Message Level Encryption

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

When using MLE the docs state “The client will not report or upload files if it cannot find an encryption certificate or if its parent relay does not support receipt of encrypted documents”. Since we use a heirarchical relay structure, does the above statement mean that the encryption certificate can be anywhere in the relay chain, or does it have to be on the client’s immediate parent relay?

(We are running v 8.1 so the second part of the statement does not apply)
