2-2: Configure Domino Person documents

 
* 
NOTE: This configuration is necessary in most environments, but in most cases it would be impractical to repeat these steps for every Exchange user. Instead, consider using CMN’s Directory Connector to automate this task. The CMN Directory Connector correctly synchronizes the contacts to support Free/Busy Connector operations in our recommended configuration.
* 
IMPORTANT: CMN’s F/B Connector requires that each user’s SMTP forwarding address appear in the Domino User name field, although it can appear in any position within that field (first, middle or last).

For each user, begin with the semi-standard settings, including the calendar domain on the Miscellaneous tab. Then:

1
Set the Mail system to Notes, so the Mail server field can be populated with a server that is valid in the environment. (There is no need to specify a Mail file; only the Mail server must be modified.)
2
Save & Close the contact.
3
Reopen the contact, and change the Mail system back to Other Internet Mail. (This will hide the Mail server field, but the field is still populated even though it does not appear—necessary only when creating contacts manually.)
4
Save & Close the contact.

2-3: Add the domain documents

You will need a foreign domain with a name that matches the name in the Calendar system field.

Add a Notes foreign domain document. The Mail Information and Calendar Information tabs should have the gateway and calendar server name pointing to the location of the QCalCon server, using the Notes qualified server name. (QCalCon should already be installed and configured according to the CMN User Guide instructions.) The Gateway mail file name (on the Mail Info tab) and Calendar system (Calendar Info tab) must both be set to Mail.box. In environments that use multiple mail.box files, the name should match one of those files (typically mail1.box, mail2.box, etc.).

2-4: Set up the foreign SMTP document

The configuration settings for CMN are all on the Routing tab. All the settings on the other tabs are left at their respective defaults.

1
The Internet Domain field must be set to the name of the domain you will use for the Exchange users. Note that the Internet Domain value must begin with an asterisk as the first character of the name, with no dot—just an asterisk and then the FQDN.
2
The Domain name must be entered as CMNOUT, to match with a connection document that will be set up next.

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.
