Adding a community manually

Selecting Setup a Community on the Welcome screen or tapping the Add icon on the Communities screen displays the Add Community screen.

1. Enter information about the server.

   • Name

     The display name that you use for this community.

   • Host Server

     The server host URL. Provide the fully qualified Domino Workspace Chat and Meetings server host name or IP address.

   • Port

     The server port number. The default port number is 443.

2. When finished, tap Validate.

   The validation process attempts to connect to the server and determine whether a user ID and password are required for authentication. If authentication is required, the app prompts you to enter your Domino Workspace Chat and Meetings credentials. If your organization uses corporate credentials for Domino Workspace Chat and Meetings, you don't have to enter credentials for the community. Tap Save to return to the Login or Communities screen.

   If the validation fails, you might have to provide additional configuration information on the Advanced Properties screen.

   • Allow Self Signed Certificate

     This setting is OFF by default. When ON is specified, the app can't identity the community server. If you are configuring for a test environment your administrator might require that you set the value to ON.

   • Connection Type

     Indicates whether the community configuration connects directly to the Domino Workspace Chat and Meetings server or uses an authenticating proxy. The default value is Direct Connection.

     If the host server is behind a firewall, you might have to use an authenticating proxy. Selecting Authentication Proxy requires credentials for authenticating with the proxy. Contact your administrator for details.

   When you finish configuring advanced properties, tap Back to return to the Add Community screen where you validate the updated configuration.
