5-2: Configure Exchange server connections

Configure and verify the link from the Exchange Server to the domains/subdomains supported by the Domino Server. This procedure tests whether the certificate on the CMN Web Server is trusted by the Exchange Server.

To configure the Exchange Server link to the CMN Web Server and verify that certificates are trusted by Exchange:
1
At the Exchange Server, open Exchange Management Shell and enter the following cmdlet:
Add-AvailabilityAddressSpace -ForestName <smtpdomain> -AccessMethod OrgWideFB
... where <smtpdomain> is the name of the Domino domain.
2
Open a web browser and enter the URL http://autodiscover.<domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml to ensure that the Exchange server resolves it to the CMN FBC EWS without any certification errors.
3
Ensure the certificate created earlier is trusted by Exchange. If it is not, see 4-2: Obtain and install web services certificates.
4
For a multiple-domain or subdomains environment, repeat the above steps for each domain.
* 
NOTE: If you created a self-signed certificate and a certification error appears in the Web browser:
1
Click the SSL button in the Web browser, then click View Certificates.
2
Right-click the certificate to open the Import Certificate Wizard.
3
Install the certificate in Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and click Next.
4
Click Import, then Finish.

If you requested a certificate from a public CA, the certificate is already trusted by Exchange.

For F/B coexistence with an Exchange 2013 in a single-namespace environment: On all servers running a mailbox role, modify the hostfile to add the IP address and host name of the CMN Autodiscover.

To enable shared SMTP namespace F/B lookups in the Exchange-to-Notes direction, add the CMN F/B Web Services IP address to the host file on the Exchange CAS server.

5-3: Configure DNS

Configure network load balancing (optional)

You can use Network Load Balancing to permit multiple web servers to handle Autodiscover requests. This is optional, not required to deploy CMN. For more information, see this Microsoft article.

Configure DNS (Domain Name System)

Configure DNS to point autodiscover.<smtpdomain.com> to the computer where CMN’s Autodiscover service is installed. For each domain, Exchange connects to predefined Autodiscover URLs using DNS host entries.

For Exchange to get free/busy information from the domain supported by a Domino server, through the CMN Free/Busy Connector, you must make the CMN Autodiscover Web Service resolvable to this URL:

https://[autodiscover.]<smtpdomain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
 
 

On-premises Exchange or hybrid O365 using separate namespaces

Follow these steps, in order as presented here, to install and configure CMN’s Free/Busy Connector for on-premises Exchange or a hybrid Office 365 environment with separate (multiple) namespaces:

•
Step 1: Plan your FBC installation and configuration
•
Step 2: Configure the Notes/Domino side
•
Step 3: Configure the Exchange side
•
Step 4: Configure CMN’s FBC Web Server
•
Step 5: Configure and test connections among Notes/Domino, Exchange and CMN’s FBC Web Server

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.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: For a hybrid Office 365, remember to configure and test the hybrid connection between your local Exchange and O365, as documented by Microsoft, before configuring CMN’s FBC.

Step 1: Plan your FBC installation and configuration

To plan your overall FBC installation and configuration:

•
1-1: Verify system requirements
•
1-2: Make a configuration map
•
1-3: Complete the CMN FBC Planning Worksheet
