Where To Look in the CMN Documentation

This table shows where you can find particular types of information about particular CMN components:

The CMN application Help files contain the same information as the User Guide, but make the information available on-screen at a single keystroke (from the CMN Management Console).

About CMN Program Parameters

Introduction to CMN parameters

CMN's Directory Connector, Mail Connector and Free/Busy Connector are configurable, and most of their feature options are set in CMN's Management Console. The Management Console is a friendly interface between you and a set of configuration files that CMN components read every time they are started.

Configuration settings for CMN’s different components are saved in separate configuration files: a Configuration.xml file for each of the Directory Connector and Mail Connector (two files with the same name, but saved in the different CMN component subfolders), and another set of configuration files for the Free/Busy Connector (in the FBC's component subfolder). The Management Console provides screens with labeled fields to simplify entering and editing the configuration settings in those files.

When you start the Management Console, CMN automatically loads the currently active configuration values for all three CMN components. Once the Management Console is running, however, component configuration data is saved and opened separately, for one component at a time, as shown here:

While the Management Console lets you enter and change most CMN feature options, some options can be set and changed only by manually editing the corresponding Configuration.xml file. This Program Parameters Reference documents those parameters.

NOTE: All FBC program parameters in the current release are associated with UI fields in the FBC Management Console. As such, these parameters are not documented in this Reference, since they should not be edited manually (in the xml files) except at the direction of Quest Support.

The contents of a configuration XML file can be edited by any XML editor, as described separately below.
