Exchange F/B Connector | Exchange Free/Busy
Appendix: Troubleshooting the FBC
2-5: Set up the server connection document
This Connection Document is used both for the Free/Busy Connector and for mail-routing.
|
1 |
On the Basics tab: Set the Connection type to SMTP, and the Source server is the server where the F/B request will originate. |
|
2 |
To accommodate multiple mail servers, set up just one Server Connection document with the Source server set so that any of those servers can use this same document: |
|
• |
Source Domain (field appears in some but not all Domino versions): The Domino domain. |
|
• |
Connect via: Set to Direct connection. |
|
• |
Destination server: Can be any arbitrary name you want to assign. |
|
• |
Destination domain: Should be set to CMNOUT, to match the Domain name in the Foreign SMTP Document (set up in the preceding section). You can use some other value, but the Destination domain value here must match the Foreign SMTP Domain name. Note this is a "virtual domain," not a real domain. It doesn't really exist or go anywhere, but we use these fields to get Domino to match documents and route mail the way we want. |
|
3 |
Set the SMTP MTA relay host to the IP address of the CMN Mail Connector. |
|
4 |
On the Replication/Routing tab (for the same connection document): The Replication task should be Disabled, and the Routing task should be set to Mail Routing or SMTP Mail Routing, depending on the setup of your environment. |
|
5 |
On the Schedule tab (for the same connection document): Set this connection document to be enabled 24 hours per day. |
2-6: Add TCP/IP connection documents
To add TCP/IP connection documents: In Domino Admin, expand Configuration, expand Messaging and then click Connections. Add a connection, and then:
|
1 |
On the Basics tab: |
|
• |
Connection type: Local Area Network. |
|
• |
Source Server: name of the Domino server (in the Notes / Domino format, e.g. source_Notes_mail_database_server/DOMINODOMAIN). |
|
• |
Use the port(s): TCP/IP. |
|
• |
Usage priority: Normal. |
|
• |
Destination server: the Domino server hosting the QCalCon Domino Server Task (in the Notes / Domino format, e.g. target_Notes_QCalCon_server/DOMINODOMAIN). |
|
• |
Destination domain: DOMINODOMAIN of the server running the QCalCon Domino Server Task. |
|
• |
Optional network address: IP address of the destination server. |
|
IMPORTANT: Remember that a TCP/IP Connection document is required in both directions. The Basics tab settings must be reversed on the other TCP/IP Connection document to define a connection in the other direction. The net result of this configuration with a Domino mail database server and the QCalCon Domino Server Task running on a separate Domino server is that you will have two TCP/IP Connection documents, with one document pair for each Domino mail database server. |
|
2 |
On the Replication/Routing tab: |
|
• |
Replication task: Disabled. |
|
• |
Routing task: Mail Routing. |
|
• |
Route at once if: 1 messages pending. |
|
3 |
On the Schedule tab: Modify the settings on this tab to meet sending requirements (24 hours). |
|
4 |
Click Save and Close. |
Step 3: Configure the Exchange side
If you are configuring FBC for a hybrid Office 365: Remember that the FBC for a hybrid O365 is configured only between Notes/Domino and the local on-premises Exchange, while synchronization of the local Exchange to O365 is configured apart from CMN (and documented separately by Microsoft). Configuration of CMN’s FBC for a hybrid O365 is therefore the same as configuring for a local on-premises Exchange—as described here.
CMN’s Free/Busy Connector can facilitate the flow of free/busy information among multiple subdomains supported by both the Exchange and Domino servers. To support this scenario, run the Add-AvailabilityAddressSpace cmdlet on the Exchange server or Office 365 for each Domino SMTP domain supported.
