Deploying the HCL Connections Mail Plug-in

The HCL Connections Mail Plug-in can be integrated into HCL Connections to let users use their inbox and view their calendar in Connections.

To install the HCL Connections Mail Plug-in, you must have the following software installed:

• Connections 6.5 CR1 or later
• Microsoft™ Exchange or HCL Domino® mail server (or one or more of each)
• A directory
• An environment secured with a supported single-sign on solution. SPENGO or LTPA are best, but IBM® Security Access Manager and Computer Associates’ SiteMinder are also supported. If you use Security Access Manager or SiteMinder, ensure that you use the following procedures: Enabling single sign-on for IBM Security Access Manager (formerly Tivoli Access Manager) and Enabling single sign-on for SiteMinder
  Note: If you previously enabled single sign-on for Security Access Manager, you must re-configure. During step 15c of Enabling single sign-on for Tivoli® Access Manager, add connectionsmail.interService.href to the list for application_interService_key.

To ensure smooth completion of the installation, it is important that the environment is configured correctly.

After you download and install the Connections Mail Plug-in, you must complete configuration tasks before the Connections Mail Plug-in is ready to use.
