Lotus Domino

The query of messages in an Lotus Domino Server is exclusively supported in context with the Domino User Administration. The ixi-UMS User Properties must be deposited in the LDAP data base of the Domino Server.

If another LDAP-data base is used for the storage of the user data, please refer to How To "Advanced LDAP Settings" or "Individual IMAP4 User Login".

In order to allow mobile access to users' mailboxes, you have to configure the following standard protocols:

·SMTP (mail delivery between messaging server <> ixi-UMS Kernel)

·LDAP (user management)

·IMAP (access to user's mailbox)

The first and second task (SMTP, LDAP) should already be configured because of the  ixi-UMS Mail Server Connector installation. However, this configuration will be explained step by step.

In most cases, the IMAP task should be unconfigured. We also provide a step by step instruction for this configuration.

Note:

1.Lotus Domino does not support "IMAP-Reveralls". When the inboxes are distributed to several Lotus Domino servers, the respective server must be entered at every user.
Moreover, the stated account must have full access to the mailboxes on both servers for the "administrative" account.

2.SMTP, LDAP and IMAP in Lotus Domino Server terms are Internet Protocols. Therefore, Internet passwords are used, if needed.
If have not used Internet passwords so far, you have to set them up now. You can use imaginary passwords (set by e.g. an agent). You only have to know the password for the IMAP "master account" and LDAP user.

3.If you use Lotus Domino in a cluster configuration, please consider the following situations:

§As clustered Domino Servers cannot be reached at one IP-address (every one has its own), ixi-UMS is not working any more if the Domino Server stated in the ixi-UMS Voice-Mail Server configuration fails.

§Although configuration changes should be replicated very fast to the backup server in cluster configurations, our expirince tells us that it is not the way it should be. This is why you should also perfom configuration changes on your backup server.

§It may make sense to use your backup server for ixi-UMS LDAP and IMAP requests. Your productive resources then are not bound by ixi-UMS.

4.In order to use ixi-UMS IMAP queries, you have to create a fulltext index for mobile enabled mailboxes. Please consider: A fulltext index exhausts hard disk free space on your Lotus Domino Server.
