Supporting automatic mail detection with an LDAP directory other than Domino | HCL Digital Experience

If the LDAP directory configured for the portal and for Lotus Collaborative Services is not IBM Domino, and you want the automatic mail detection feature in Domino messaging portlets, you can modify the CSenvironment.properties file to support the feature.

Procedure

Modify the CSEnvironment.properties file.

Enable the lines under the Mail server and Mail File Queries section.

The following example shows the syntax with comments.

# Mail server and Mail File Queries: 
#CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.mailfileserver_objectclass=person
#CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.mailserver_attrib=mailserver 
#CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.mailfile_attrib=mailfile
# Email Address query
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.email_objectclass=person
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.email_attrib=internetaddress

Note: If adding the mailserver attribute to a non-Domino LDAP server and Lotus® Collaborative Services is configured with this server, make sure that this attribute is in the fully qualified distinguished name my.server.com format.

To enable the CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.mailserver_attrib and CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.mailfile_attrib attributes for the primary non-Domino® LDAP directory that is configured for your portal site, add the following entry:
```
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.primary_ldap_custom_attribute_enabled=true
```
Note: By default, these attributes are used only if your portal configuration uses a custom LDAP directory, but adding the previous command line allows them to be used for a non-Domino® LDAP.

Enable the following section in the file, specify your Domino LDAP for CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.hostname, and make sure that there is no return character after the equal sign on that line:

##############################################################
#
# DOMINO DIRECTORY properties
# (LDAP server)
# Important: 
# Should always point to a Domino Server.
# Leave enabled flag as true.
# Use the custom_ldap_* settings to point to any LDAP Server to 
# get user information.
##############################################################

CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY.enabled=true
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.hostname=yourserver.yourdomain.com
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.port=389
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.ssl=false
CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.anonymous=true

Copy and paste the following section into the file directly following the section in the previous step, and enable it. If there are return characters that follow the equal signs or anywhere else in the middle of each statement, remove them.
