2-6: Add TCP/IP connection documents

In some environments, free/busy lookups may also require that you add TCP/IP Connection documents in both directions between the Domino servers housing mail databases (mailbox servers) and the Domino server running the QCalCon Domino Server Task.

* 
NOTE: This step may not be necessary if internal TCP/IP communications are already established in the environment. The bottom-line requirement is that the QCalCon server must be able to communicate with other servers.

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

Configure domains, permissions and other server parameters and attributes so they will be able to work with CMN’s Free/Busy Connector.

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.

To configure the Exchange side for multiple subdomains

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.

Step 4: Configure CMN's FBC Web Server

Step 4: Configure CMN’s FBC Web Server

To configure CMN’s FBC Web Server:

•
4-1: Physically install the CMN FBC components
•
4-2: Obtain and install web services certificates
•
4-3: Configure trusted sites for computers hosting F/B components
•
4-4 (optional): Configure logging for F/B components
•
4-5 (conditional): Configuring CMN’s FBC for Domino clusters
•
4-6: Run CMN’s Management Console to configure FBC components

4-1: Physically install the CMN FBC components

All CMN FBC components are installed by the AutoRun utility that accompanies the CMN product kit.

The AutoRun installer automatically checks the environment to verify CMN prerequisites, but you can bypass the prerequisites check by running the installer from the command line and appending ignoreprerequisites=1 to the command before executing.

For a typical configuration:

•
On the CMN FBC Web Server: Run AutoRun to install the Autodiscover, EWS and the Domino FBC Service on the CMN FBC Web Server.
•
On either the same CMN FBC Web Server or a separate CMN Exchange FBC Server: Run AutoRun to install the CMN Exchange FBC Service.
To configure CMN’s F/B Connector for multiple Domino servers

For Exchange queries for Domino F/B information, the simplest approach is to dedicate a separate CMN FBC server for each Domino server, with all the CMN servers feeding into the single Exchange server. It is technically possible, but somewhat more complicated, to configure a single instance of the Domino FBC Service, EWS and Autodiscover to process free/busy traffic to and from multiple Domino servers—an approach that requires more elaborate Domino configurations.
