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.
Prerequisites
- Configure portal to recognize Lotus Domino and Collaborative Services
- Configure a binding user ID for Collaborative Services
The bind user ID is used by Lotus Collaborative Services to retrieve user attributes required for authentication from the selected LDAP directory. Setting the bind user ID to use the LDAP server for Collaborative Services supports automatic detection of users' mail files for any of the collaborative portlets that use a Lotus Domino back-end server for messaging (Lotus Notes View and Domino Web Access). If the server is a Lotus Domino LDAP, setting the bind user also supports the server or database drop-down lists that appear in Lotus Domino portlets.
- Set a Domino LDAP server to allow anonymous access
Allowing anonymous access to attributes on the Domino LDAP server is one of two ways to enable Collaborative Services to retrieve user information needed to support collaborative portlet features. To allow anonymous access, you modify a Configuration Settings document stored in the Domino Directory database (names.nsf) on the Domino LDAP server.
