Enabling the Connections Mail Plug-in for environments that use both HTTP and HTTPS

If your environment uses both HTTP and HTTPS between your Domino servers and Connections servers, complete these steps, so you can use the Connections Mail Plug-in.

Procedure

Open your socialmail-discovery-config.xml file.
If the version attribute is set to "1.0," edit the following line, changing the version from "1.0" to "1.3".
Change <config id="socialmail-discovery-config" version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
<port>
33389
</port>
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="socialmail-discovery-config.xsd"> to <config id="socialmail-discovery-config" version="1.3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="socialmail-discovery-config.xsd">
If there is a server configuration that uses Domino LDAP to look up mail files and the HTTP protocol used to access the Domino LDAP server is different from the one used to access the Connections server, complete this step:
1. Add the <ServerConfig> to specify the protocol you want to use for your Domino LDAP look-up. Be sure to specify the 'DefaultProtocol' element to force the Connections Mail Plug-in to use the desired protocol to connect to the user's mail server. Example:
```
<ServerConfig name="ldap-http" enabled="true">
			<ConfigType>DOMINO</ConfigType>
			<port>389</port>
     		<DirectoryServer>server.domino.com</DirectoryServer>
    		 <DirectoryServerDomain>domino.com</DirectoryServerDomain>
    		 <DirectoryUser>administrator</DirectoryUser>
    		 <DirectoryPW>password</DirectoryPW>
			 <DefaultProtocol>http://</DefaultProtocol>
    		 <MailPattern type="person1@mailserver.com"/>
</ServerConfig>
```
If the Connections Mail Plug-in is configured to use the iNotes Redirect database, and the HTTP protocol used to access the iNotes Redirect server is different from the one used to access the Connections server, complete this step:
1. Add the Server Config to specify the protocol you want to use for redirect in the 'RedirectURL' tag. Example:
```
<ServerConfig name="redir-http" enabled="true">
				<ConfigType>REDIRECT</ConfigType>
				<RedirectURL>http://server.domino.com:9080?nocache=1&nostore=1</RedirectURL>
				<MailPattern type="person1@mailserver.com"/>
</ServerConfig>
```
At the end of the socialmail-discovery-config.xml file, add the following line between the <GadgetConfig> tag and </GadgetConfig> tag.
```
<GadgetConfig>
				<GadgetPreference id="UseConfiguredProtocol">true</GadgetPreference>
</GadgetConfig>
```
Clear the temp directory in both your Application Server profile and Deployment Manager profile.
