Configuring the BDSS Connector for Microsoft Exchange 2007 6-7
6.9 Configuring the Exchange 2007 Connector to Use the Microsoft Autodiscover Service
The Exchange 2007 Connector attempts to discover information about a user’s Exchange account by querying the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Autodiscover service.
There are Service Connection Point SCP URLs that point to the locations where the service is available. The connector does the following when attempting to discover a
user:
1.
Try each configured SCPN URL
2.
If that fails, query each Active Directory server listed in the ServerN configuration for a list of SCP URLs and attempt each of them.
3.
If the first two steps fail, the connector attempts the following default URLs:
–
protocol:domainName:portautodiscoverautodiscover.x ml
–
protocol:domainName.autodiscover:portautodiscovera utodiscover.xml
Using the parameters listed in Table 6–12
, the Exchange 2007 Connector can forgo searching for the Autodiscover service if you provide the SCPN URLs.
Table 6–12 lists the following parameters of Auto Discovery section that enable you to
configure the connector to use the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Autodiscover service.
Table 6–11 Parameters for the Event Receiver Section
Parameter Description
CHANGE_ME The name of an Exchange 2007 connector as it appears in the
NAME Column of the CONNECTORS
table. The default value should be the URL of the deployed event receiver for the
connector. Status Frequency
The frequency, in minutes, that Exchange provides a notification for each subscription. The default value is 1.
Subscription Status Factor The event receiver performs a check on all subscriptions to verify that the Exchange server has not terminated any subscriptions.
This parameter sets frequency in which this check occurs. The frequency in which this check occurs is the value set for this
parameter multiplied by the value set for the Status Frequency parameter. For example, if you set the Status Frequency parameter
to 1 minute, and then set the Subscription Status Factory parameter to 3, then the event receiver performs the subscription check every
3 minutes. The default value is 3.

6.10 Testing Domain Synchronization using the Exchange 2007 Connector
You can use the Exchange 2007 Connector for reflective synchronization
. You can test the Hub’s synchronization of the Task, Contact, and Calendar domains using the
Exchange 2007 Connector, because it provides synchronization for multiple Hub domains. You can configure the Exchange 2007 Connector to present itself as any type
of PIM server to the Hub, because server type is irrelevant to the Hub. If you configure a second Exchange 2007 Connector using the same PIM server type, the Hub can then
Table 6–12 Parameters of the Auto Discovery Section
Parameter Description
SCPN where N is a unique, nonzero ordinal that
specifies an order preference.
Enter either a full URL to the location of an Exchange Autodiscover service or the name of the server that runs the
Autodiscover service. If you enter the URL to the location of an Exchange Autodiscover server, then the URL is constructed to
include the given entry as follows:
protocol:configuredValue:portautodisco verautodiscover.xml
You can have 1 or more rows if and only if each SCPN is unique. When discovering a user, the connector tries each URL in the
order specified by the SCPN parameter. For example, the URL for SCP1 is tried before the URL for SCP2, and so on.
Port The port used for sending HTTP requests for user discovery. The
default value is the typical SSL port, 443. Set the value to the HTTPS port if Use SSL is set to true. If it is set to false, then
this value should be the HTTP port. The value is only used when attempting default SCP URLs which are attempted when
all SCP URLS have been tried those in the SCPN configuration and those obtained from AD per the Servern configuration
UseSSL Indicates whether to use secure HTTP SSL when sending
HTTP requests to discover users. The default value is true. Remove Domain From Urls
Directs the connector to remove the domain information from a discovered SCP URLs obtained from Active Directory.
For the development environment, set the value to true because DNS prevents the URL from being resolved when the
URL contains a domain that is, http:server360007.us.oracle.comautodiscover
autodiscover.xml does not work. When the option set to true, the URL becomes
http:server360007autodiscoverautodiscover.x ml
Read Timeout The time in milliseconds to wait for a response before timing
out. The default value is 5000. Connect Timeout
The time in milliseconds to establish a connection to Auto Discover server before timing out. The default is 5000
Client Certificate Path Set this value to the location of the PEM Privacy Enhance Mail
security certificate file containing the client certificate that is used if Auto Discover requires client certificates
Client Certificate Key Path Set this value to the location of the PEM Privacy Enhance Mail
security certificate file containing the client certificate private key
