== Restrictions for Using IBM Lotus Notes with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 ==

Be sure to communicate the following restrictions to the users who schedule meetings from the IBM Lotus Notes with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 integration:

* You cannot use the IBM Lotus Notes with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 integration with Cisco WebEx.

* Any invitees you add when scheduling from the Lotus Notes client do not display when viewing meeting details from the end-user web interface.

* The method of attending option to "Have system find user" is not supported for users who are invited to a meeting from Lotus Notes.

* IBM Lotus Notes with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 has the following limitations on the number of meeting recurrences that users can schedule:

== Creating an IBM Lotus Notes Account for the IBM Lotus Notes with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Gateway ==

This topic describes how to create an account for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for IBM Lotus Notes integration gateway on the Lotus Domino Server. The integration gateway uses this account to access IBM Lotus Notes and to send back-end notifications. You will require a corresponding account on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server to ensure the proper functioning of attachments between the Domino and MeetingPlace servers.

'''Tip: ''' If you have more than one Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server, each with its own installation of the IBM Lotus Notes integration, create an IBM Lotus Notes account for each installation with a unique identifying name, such as MP-Boston or MP-Atlanta.

''' Restriction '''

You must have Administrator permissions on the Lotus Domino Server.

''' Procedure '''

# Log in to the IBM Domino Administrator.
# Click the tab with the name of your domain (for example, CISCO_Domain).
# Click the '''People & Groups''' tab from the Domain tab.
# Click '''People''' from the left pane of the People & Groups tab.
# In the right pane of the People and Groups tab, click the arrow next to the '''People''' icon to expand the drop-down menu, then choose '''Register'''.
#: The system displays the Choose a Certifier window if this is the first time that you are registering a new account.
# Locate and choose the cert.id file.
#* The default certifier ID is in C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Domino\Data.
#* If the path to the cert.id file does not appear next to the Certifier ID button, click '''Certifier ID '''to open the Choose Certifier ID window.
# Click '''Open'''.
# Click '''OK''' in the Choose a Certifier window when the cert.id file path is correct.
# Enter a new password for the certifier ID.
#: The system displays the Register Person window.
# Check '''Advanced '''to display all options on the page.
# Enter '''MeetingPlace''' in the''' '''Last name field.
#: We recommend that you leave the First name field blank. The system automatically populates the ShortName field, based on the First name and Last name values. The value in the ShortName field is used to name the mail database for this user account (for example, mail/MeetingPlace).
# Enter your password for this account.
# Click '''Password Options'''.
# Adjust your Password Quality Scale in the Password Options window.
# Check '''Set internet password'''.
# Click '''OK'''.
# Click '''Mail'''.
# Choose '''Manager''' from the Mail file owner access drop-down list.
# From the Mail file template''' '''list, choose the template that you want to associate with this account, for example '''Mail(R8)'''. You will later replace this template with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace mail template.
# Click the green checkmark button to add this user to the registration queue.
# Click''' Register'''.
# Click '''Done'''.

'''What to Do Next'''

Make sure that you create a corresponding account on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server. The corresponding account must have the same username, password, and email address as you configured for the gateway account on the Lotus Domino Server. If you do not create a corresponding user account on the MeetingPlace server, attachments between the Domino Server and MeetingPlace server will fail.

== Moving the Mail Templates ==

Depending on the version of Lotus Domino that you are using, move your mail template to any other directory:
* '''Domino 6 or 6.5''' -- For Lotus Domino Release 6 or 6.5 users, your mail template is called mail6.ntf.
* '''Domino 7''' -- For Lotus Domino Release 7 users, your mail template is called mail7.ntf.
* '''Domino 8''' -- For Lotus Domino Release 8 users, your mail template is called mail8.ntf.
