4-6: Run CMN's Management Console to configure FBC components
Use CMN’s Management Console to configure the Free/Busy Connector’s components—to identify the participating servers and their locations, register the necessary account access credentials, and set other operating parameters and preferences. See chapter 4 of the CMN User Guide for field notes and application notes for each screen in the F/B Connector Management Console.
Step 5: Configure and test connections among Notes/Domino, O365 and CMN's FBC Web Server
Before running any of CMN’s F/B Connector subcomponents, you must synchronize Notes/Domino users as Office 365 contacts, and O365 users to Domino. CMN’s Directory Connector does not support directory synchronizations directly between Domino and Office 365. In this non-hybrid O365 scenario, however, you can configure Microsoft’s Azure AD Sync synchronization tool to synchronize a local AD with Office 365 for this purpose. See Microsoft’s Azure documentation for instructions and guidance in this synchronization.
For FBC coexistence with Office 365, run Enable-OrganizationCustomization, and then create the availability address space by opening a PowerShell session and using the following commands:
[replace <username@domain.onmicrosoft.com> with your O365 admin account]
[replace <domain.onmicrosoft.com> with your SMTP domain name in Office 365]
[replace <username@domain.onmicrosoft.com> with your O365 admin account]
[replace <username@domain.onmicrosoft.com> with your O365 admin account]
[replace <YourPassword> with your Office 365 admin password]
[replace <domain.com> with your SMTP domain name]
You can use Network Load Balancing to permit multiple web servers to handle Autodiscover requests. This is optional, not required to deploy CMN. For more information, see this Microsoft article.
Configure DNS to point autodiscover.<smtpdomain.com> to the computer where CMN’s Autodiscover service is installed. For each domain, Office 365 connects to predefined Autodiscover URLs using DNS host entries.
