Enable the OSC provider
After you configure Microsoft Office to connect to an IBM Connections server, we can then enable the Outlook Social Connector to bring network contacts into Microsoft Outlook.
After the Connections Desktop plug-ins are configured to connect to at least one Connections server, start the Preferences for the Connections plug-ins to ensure that server are available for the OSC configuration in Microsoft Outlook.
- Click Preferences on the Connections ribbon and click Outlook Social Connector. This section lists the servers that are configured for the Connections Desktop plug-ins.
- Check up to four the servers that you would like to have available for the OSC.
- Open Microsoft Outlook and view Account Settings. One way to do that is to click the View tab and click People Pane > Account Settings in Microsoft Outlook 2010.
- The Account Setting dialog contains all of the OSC providers installed for the system. The OSC Providers that are already checked are previously configured. Check up to four providers to configure and click Connect to begin receiving the social information for those networks.
If Microsoft Outlook was already running when we selected servers for OSC from the Preferences panel, we must restart Microsoft Outlook to connect to the changes.
