Adding a Microsoft Exchange Connection

To enable searching of Microsoft Exchange, you must first configure the Microsoft Exchange server. In your Microsoft Exchange server, set up a user account with search permissions for every inbox. This user account is used as a system user. This means that a configuration by every single user is no longer necessary. The authentication method for this option is always "Basic".

For the configuration, you require the URL for your Microsoft Web Services server.

This is how it works

  1. Open Exchange PowerShell. You can find the PowerShell on the server of your Microsoft Exchange installation.

  2. Execute the following command: Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory |Select name, *url* | fl

  3. Make a note of the URL.

  4. Click Configuration on the d.3one start page.

  5. Under Enterprise search, choose the entry Search provider.

  6. Click the cog icon in the group Microsoft Exchange and select the entry Microsoft Exchange connection.

  7. Under Source system , choose the entry Microsoft Exchange server.

  8. Enter the URL for your Microsoft Web Services server.

  9. Enter the port. This is usually port 443.

  10. Enter the user name and password of the user you created for preparation as a system user.

You have successfully added the Microsoft Exchange search provider. Enable the search provider in search provider management so that your users can use the search provider.
