System requirements
This topic describes the server requirements for IBM® mail support for Microsoft™ Outlook (IMSMO).
System requirements
As of IBM Domino® 10, the server components required for IMSMO are installed with the Domino server. Installing the IBM® mail server add-on (IMSA) is no longer necessary.
For detailed system requirements, see the Domino index of system requirements and the Traveler system requirements.
For information on installing and configuring Traveler, see the Traveler documentation.
Server configuration settings
$CSUID2APPTUNIDCONTROL=4
- This INI setting impacts the home mail server, i.e., the server where mail gets delivered, even if that is not the Traveler server.- Recommended - The setting is recommended if all servers in the same cluster of the home server are running Domino® release 9.0.1 or higher. If all servers are not running Domino® release 9.0.1 or higher, there is a remote potential to have rescheduled calendar entries from external, non-Notes® meeting organizers appear as invitations. This happens if the original invitation arrives on a 9.0.1 server, and the reschedule notice is delivered to a server earlier than Domino® 9.0.1, for example due to failover.
- Required - This INI setting is required on your home server, to ensure successful interoperability with external organizers, especially in cases where there are both AIX® and non-AIX® servers involved - for example, when an AIX® server is the home server, and there is a Windows™ server that services IBM® Mail support for Microsoft™ Outlook. In such a scenario, counter proposals to external organizers will not work from Outlook.
- HTTP will be enabled on first launch after Traveler server installation, if it was not already enabled
-
If you configure high availability mode, configuring client-side SSL termination at the sprayer is recommended. In this case, there is no need to enable SSL for HTTP.
-
If you do not configure high availability mode, SSL must be enabled for HTTP; to validate that SSL is enabled, test that you can connect via web browser and HTTPS to your mail file (iNotes®), and log in successfully. Alternately, you could access the server at
HTTPS://[host]
to see the home page for the server, or a login page if the server does not allow anonymous access.For additional information, see the Domino® wiki topics:

- For larger deployments IBM® recommends increasing both the
Cached user expiration interval
andMaximum cached users
values, which can be found in the server document ( ). SetCached user expiration interval
to 28800 seconds (8 hours); forMaximum cached users
, please set to the number of users that are expected to be using this Traveler server.
Server settings - user access
- A mail replica on the Traveler server.
- A valid internet address, set in the user's person document
- A valid internet password, set in the user's person document (only required if you will be using Domino® authentication)
- The user's Notes® ID must be in an ID Vault - if you are not currently using ID vault, set one up.
