Global address book searchThe following subtabs are available when setting up search capabilities on an Exchange connector.
[ Expand All | Collapse All ]
This subtab contains the required settings for enabling the current Exchange connector to let users search the Global Address Book.
If you set this switch to ON, the current connector will be used for handling the Global Address Book search requests of the connected users.
In this field you can specify the directory server to use for the searches of the current type. The field must be completed.
Enter the AD domain in this field. This must be in UPN suffix format, which is usually the same as your DNS domain, for instance your.domain.com or something similar to ad.domain.local. Do not use the old Windows 2000 format such as DOMAIN\ .
The login information from the DME client usually only consists of your user name, which is passed to the DME server. In order for the DME server and connector to successfully authenticate against the Active Directory or the Exchange server, it is necessary that the AD domain (UPN suffix) is appended to this user name (for example your.domain.com), giving the unique UserPrincipalName of username@your.domain.com. You must enter the AD domain information in this field, even if you only use one domain.
You can minimize the search to a certain branch of the LDAP Server tree by specifying a DN (Distinguished Name) in this field. In a new installation, this field has a "default value":
DC=xxx;DC=yyy
For instance, if you want to search to cover the whole organization/domain called documentation.ad.domain, the Search DN should be:
DC=documentation,DC=ad,DC=domain
If you want to restrict the search to a specific Organizational Unit called "Denmark" or the default "Users" container, you can modify the search DN to:
OU=Denmark,DC=documentation,DC=ad,DC=domain or CN=Users,DC=documentation,DC=ad,DC=domain
You can separate the list of DNs with semicolon ; or comma ,.
In this field you can select when DME should return the result to the client: Either if the search term is found anywhere within the result (option Contain client terms) or if the search term is found at the beginning of the result (option Start with client terms). The latter option reduces the time it takes the collaboration server to return results to DME, but requires a more precise search on the part of the client.
In this field you can specify the maximum number of results to be returned by a search (default value: 25).
In this field you can specify the maximum time (in seconds) a search is allowed to run on the collaboration system before timing out (default is 30 seconds).
One LDAP repository can refer to other LDAP repositories for information. This is especially the case for Active Directory environments. By default, DME allows this, but in some cases it may not be desirable. If you disable this field, DME will only search for information in the LDAP specified above, and not follow any chain of LDAP referrals.
You may want to filter the results returned from the Global Address Book before they are returned to the user, for instance in order to remove service accounts and similar and only return names with valid e-mail addresses. To do this, enter a text string in this field: For a match to be returned as part of a Global Address Book search, the string entered in this field must exist in the LDAP/AD entry of the match. The string entered here is appended to the string in the Search DN field.
For instance, you could enter O=Exchange in this field to specify that in order to be returned as a match, the entry must have O (Organization) set to "Exchange". The syntax of the query string must follow standard LDAP Query. For examples, see the Microsoft TechNet website.
This subtab contains the required settings for enabling the current Exchange connector to let users search for Rooms and Resources.
Please note that for Exchange 2003, you need to add an Active Directory metadata field to those AD users that are actually rooms and resources. For more information, see the Exchange 2003 Integration guide at the DME Resource Center.
If you set this switch to ON, the current connector will be used for handling the Rooms and Resources search requests of the connected users.
In this field you can specify the directory server to use for the searches of the current type. The field must be completed.
Enter the AD domain in this field. This must be in UPN suffix format, which is usually the same as your DNS domain, for instance your.domain.com or something similar to ad.domain.local. Do not use the old Windows 2000 format such as DOMAIN\ .

You must enter the AD domain information in this field, even if you only use one domain.
In this field you can specify the distinguished name or names where rooms are found. Separate the list of DNs with semicolon ; or comma ,.
In this field you can specify the distinguished name or names where resources are found. Separate the list of DNs with semicolon ; or comma ,.
In this field you can specify the maximum number of results to be returned by a search (default value: 25).
In this field you can specify the locale by which the list of rooms and resources should be sorted in the client. This especially applies to languages that use non-English characters. The sort order should be specified in the common ISO format: a language code as specified by ISO-639 and a country code as specified by ISO-3166, separated by an underscore. For instance, Danish is specified as da_DK; Canadian French as fr_CA.
For a list of language codes, look up ISO-639 on Wikipedia (for instance).
For a list of country codes, look up ISO-3166 on Wikipedia (for instance).

This subtab contains the required settings for enabling the current connector to let users perform free time searches.
If you set this switch to ON, the current connector will be used for handling the free time search requests of the connected users.
