Configure automatic mail detection using a Lotus Domino LDAP directory
If WebSphere Portal authenticates with an IBM Lotus DominoLDAP directory, complete the steps described here to configure automatic mail detection.
1. Configure the portal to recognize Lotus Domino and Collaborative Services
You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the server (either an IBM 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.
2. Give Collaboratives Services access to required fields for automatic mail detection
When IBM WebSphere Portal uses a IBM 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.
3. Specify 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 iNotes 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.
4. Synchronize user information for auto-detection of mail files
If user email addresses are consistent between the Domino LDAP server and the LDAP server that IBM 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 iNotes portlet can retrieve the email file and server information from the WebSphere Portal directory.
