Windows Phone server administration and configuration

If Windows Phone users will be authenticating against Domino® using their Domino® internet credentials (for example, username@company.com), no Windows Phone specific server configuration steps are required.

However, if Windows Phone 7.5 or 7.8 users will be connecting using their Domino® user names, instead of their Domino® internet credentials, refer to the information in this section on additional steps needed to configure the Domino® users, as well as a configuration modification for IBM® Mobile Connect (if using IBM® Mobile Connect) for IBM Traveler use on Windows Phone 7.5 and 7.8 devices. These additional steps are not required for Windows Phone 8 devices.

Configuring Domino® users for IBM Traveler on Windows Phone devices

If Windows Phone users will be using their Domino® user names instead of Domino® internet credentials, then you should create aliases for these users in Domino®. These aliases should be in the <domain name>\<user name> format, where <domain name> can be any string chosen by the company.

To configure Domino® users for IBM Traveler on Windows Phone devices, perform the following procedure:
  • Bring up the Lotus® Domino® Administrator client.
  • Select the People and Groups tab.
  • Select the twistie next to People.
  • Select the user and click Edit.
  • On the Basics page, edit the User name field to have an additional entry in the <domain name>\<user name> format. The domain name can be any name you choose. For example, if the user name is "Test User", and you pick "ABC" as the domain name, you can add an entry in the User name field to be ABC\Test User.

Configuring IBM® Mobile Connect

If Windows Phone users will be using their Domino® user names instead of Domino® internet credentials, and IBM® Mobile Connect will be used to provide access to IBM Traveler, a configuration modification is needed to the IBM® Mobile Connect (IMC) authentication profile. The modification will use the CN, or commonName, attribute in its directory searches. To make this modification, perform the following procedure:
  1. Open the IMC Gatekeeper application.
  2. Open the properties panel for the LDAP bind authentication method.
  3. On the LDAP tab, locate the User key field attribute. The default value of this attribute is mail. Change it to cn.
