Check whether the required configuration is accurate. See also, Enabling Discussion Forums to Publish Space Mail in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. ■ Check whether the user account configured here is a member of the distribution list. ■ For a particular Space, check whether the forum configured is available in the discussions server. See Publishing Space Mail in a Discussion Forum in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. ■ Check whether the user who sends mails to the distribution list is available in the discussions server and his mail address is the same.

17.10.7 Changing Passwords on Microsoft Exchange

Problem If multiple users log on to Microsoft Exchange with the same user name and password, and then one user changes the password, the original password remains valid until all users log off. For example, say the current password of the user monty is welcome1. Two users, A and B, log on from different clients using either WebCenter or Microsoft Exchange. Both log on as montywelcome1, and both are able to see the mails. Now user A changes the password in Microsoft Exchange to oracle1. Because there currently are clients using the passwords oracle1 and welcome1, both are valid passwords; that is, new users can log on as montywelcome1 and still see the mails. Solution After all existing users with the original password log off, the new password takes effect. Until then, users can use both passwords to log on.
