Section 6: Configure the Domino Environment

Prior to installing Integration for Notes BTCal, the Domino environment requires some configuration. The Domino environment is primarily configured through a series of documents in the Domino Directory. We suggest configuring the documents using the Notes Administrator client. For this section, keep the Notes Administrator client open and connected to the Hub server while you make the following configuration updates.

This section (Section 6) covers the Domino Directory documents that require configuration.   

6.1 Server Document(s)

6.2 Server Configuration Document(s)

6.3 Global Domain Document

6.4 Foreign Domain Document

6.5 Foreign SMTP Domain Document

6.6 Server Connection Document

6.7 Program Document

6.1 Configure the Server Document

6.1    Configure the Server Document

 


You can modify the Domino Directory on any server; however, it’s a best practice to make all changes on the Hub server

  1. While connected to the Hub server, click the Configuration tab and expand Server in the left-hand Navigation Pane. Click on the All Server Documents view and then edit the coexistence Server Configuration Document to match the values in the bullets or tables below.

  2. On the Basics tab make the following changes:

Field

Recommended Value

Routing Tasks

Mail Routing, SMTP Mail Routing

SMTP listener task

Enabled

 

  1. Click the Ports tab then the Internet Ports… tab, scroll down to the Web section and click on the Web tab and make the following changes:

Field

Recommended Value

TCP/IP port number

80

TCP/IP Port Status

Enabled

 

  1. In the Web section, click the Mail tab and modify the following:

Field

Recommended Value

TCP/IP Port Numbers | Mail (SMTP Inbound)

25

TCP/IP Port Numbers | Mail (SMTP Outbound)

25

TCP/IP Port Status | Mail (SMTP Inbound)

Enabled

TCP/IP Port Status | Mail (SMTP Outbound)

Negotiated SSL

 

  1. Save and close the Server Document. Replicate the Domino Directory to all servers within the environment.Pas

6.2 Domino Server Configuration Document

6.2    Domino Server Configuration Document

Next, create or modify an existing Server Configuration document to handle SMTP traffic and secure connections.

  1. While connected to the Hub server, click the Configuration tab and expand Server in the left-hand Navigation Pane. Click on the Configurations view. If a Server Configuration Document does not already exist, add one; otherwise, edit the existing coexistence Server Configuration Document to match the values in the table below.

 


If there are more than one Domino Coex servers, create a single Configuration document and assign it to a Server only group list. This server-only group list should contain all Coex servers as members.

 

  1. In the Server Document, to ensure SMTP is the standard protocol to and from the Domino coexistence server, select the Router/SMTP tab and then the Basics tab. The table below lists the fields that need to be modified and their recommended values:

Field

Recommended Value

Number of mailboxes

1

SMTP used when sending messages outside of the local internet domain

Enabled

SMTP allowed within the local internet domain

Disabled

Servers within the local Notes domain are reachable via SMTP over TCP/IP

Always

Address lookup

Fullname then Local Part

Exhaustive lookup

Enabled

 

 


Integration for Notes supports multiple mailboxes. If your environment requires more than one mailbox, modify the Number of Mailboxes field accordingly.

  1. While on the Router/SMTP tab, click the Restrictions and Controls… tab and the SMTP Inbound Controls tab. Edit the Server Configuration Document to match the Recommended Values in the table below. Each of the three fields shown below should be populated with the IP address of either the Exchange Hub Transport server or array.

Field

Recommended Value

Allow messages only from the following internet hosts to be sent to external internet domains

<IP Address of Exchange Hub Transport server or array> from Administrator Pre-Install Checklist

Exclude these connecting hosts from anti-relay checks

<IP Address of Exchange Hub Transport server or array> from Administrator Pre-Install Checklist

Allow connections only from the following SMTP internet hostnames/IP addresses

<IP Address of Exchange Hub Transport server or array> from Administrator Pre-Install Checklist

 

  1. Next, click the MIME tab, the Conversion Options tab and then the General tab. Set each field to the recommended value below:

Field

Recommended Value

Return receipts

Enabled

Return receipt mapping

Use Disposition-Notification-To

 

 

  1. Finally, on the MIME tab, select the Conversion Options tab and then the Outbound tab. Next, navigate to the Outbound Conversions Options section and edit the Server Configuration document to match the Recommended Values in the table below.

Field

Recommended Value

Attachment encoding method

“Base64”

“Enabled”

“Enabled”

 

 

  1. On the MIME | Advanced | Advanced Outbound Message Options tab, on the RFC822 phrase handling field, make sure Use CN as phrase is selected.

  2. Click Save & Close to save changes to the Server Configuration document.
