Configure automatic mail detection using a Lotus Domino LDAP directory
If WebSphere Portal authenticates with an Lotus Domino LDAP directory, complete the steps described here to configure automatic mail detection.
- Configure portal to recognize Lotus Domino and Collaborative Services
You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the server (either an Lotus Domino or non-Lotus Domino server) running the LDAP service so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use that server to support features in Lotus Domino-based portlets. To configure the WebSphere Portal server, you update the CSEnvironment.properties file.
- Giving Collaboratives Services access to required fields for automatic mail detection
When WebSphere Portal uses a Lotus Domino LDAP directory, there are two ways to connect to the directory to look up users' mail server and mail file information. You can either create a binding user ID or connect anonymously to the LDAP directory.
- Specifying the Internet host name of the Lotus Domino server
In the Server document of the Lotus Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) database on the Lotus Domino server, you specify the fully qualified Internet host name for the Lotus Domino server and Internet security options. These settings are part of the support for the server drop-down list that appears when users of the Lotus Notes View and Domino Web Access portlets edit portlet defaults, and automatic detection of users' mail files for any of these portlets that use a Lotus Domino back-end server for messaging.
- Optional: Synchronizing user information for autodetection of mail files
If user e-mail addresses are consistent between the Domino LDAP server and the LDAP server that WebSphere Portal uses, configure Collaborative Services to query the non-Domino LDAP server for the mail file and mail server. In this type of configuration, the Domino Web Access portlet can retrieve the e-mail file and server information from the WebSphere Portal directory.
