2. Tell users to refresh the database for their own ViewMail for Notes account in Notes:

a. Open Notes.

b. Right-click the ViewMail for Notes account and select Database > Refresh Design.

Considerations When Setting Up ViewMail for Notes

Note If you are upgrading ViewMail for Notes, skip this task. Existing settings remain unchanged during an upgrade.

Note the following considerations when setting up ViewMail for Notes:

•In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, configure the following settings on the System Settings > SMTP Configuration > Server page to match the SSL settings in the ViewMail for Notes account:

–Allow Connections From Untrusted IP Addresses

–Require Authentication From Untrusted IP Addresses

–Transport Layer Security From Untrusted IP Addresses Is (Disabled, Required, Optional)

For more information, see the following documentation:

–"SMTP Server Configuration" section in the "System Settings" chapter of the Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Administration Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/gui_reference/guide/7xcucgrgx.html.

–"Configuring IMAP Settings" chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/administration/guide/7xcucsagx.html.

•IMAP email clients generally include two fields in which you can enter either the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the Connection server. When a Connection cluster is configured, enter the fully qualified domain name of a DNS A record that includes the Connection publisher and subscriber servers. If the DNS server allows you to specify the order in which DNS tries to contact Connection servers, specify that the server that is available most often is the first server contacted. This usually is the publisher server.

Some IMAP email clients do not respect DNS A records. For those clients, if the first Connection server is not available, the client does not try to access the other Connection server.

Customizing the ViewMail for Notes Software to Use Default Values Before Installing It on User Workstations (Optional)

Note If you are upgrading ViewMail for Notes, skip this task. Existing settings remain unchanged during an upgrade.

In the procedure in this section, you can customize the software so that values for the following fields are prepopulated during installation:

•IP address of the Cisco Unity Connection server—Required during installation.

•Values for three fields related to using a firewall that blocks HTTPS traffic between user workstations and the Connection server—Not required during installation.

Caution If you do not customize the ViewMail for Notes software before you install it on user workstations, you will have to manually enter the IP address of the Cisco Unity Connection server during installation on each user workstation. In addition, if you are using a firewall that blocks HTTPS traffic, values for the three related fields will have to be manually entered on each user workstation after ViewMail for Notes is installed.

The customization prepopulates the default values only for new accounts; values in existing accounts remain as is.

When ViewMail for Notes is already installed on user workstations, the customized registry settings cannot be changed by running the ViewMail installation program again. You must use a configuration management tool (for example, Microsoft Systems Management Server) to change the registry settings; or you must uninstall ViewMail for Notes, customize the ViewMail software, and then install the customized software.

To Customize the ViewMail for Notes Software to Use Default Values Before Installing It on User Workstations (Optional)

Step 1 Create a ViewMail for Notes directory to which you have write privileges.

From the ViewMail for Notes disc, copy the language folder(s) applicable to your installation—for example, ENU for U.S. English, DEU for German—to the ViewMail directory you created in Step 1.

Each language folder contains the following files:

•The CiscoUnityConnection.VMN7.1.3.<language code>.msi file for the language.

•VMNInit.vbs.

•VMAddbin.vbs.

Step 2 In a language folder, open the file VMNInit.vbs in a text editor (for example, Notepad).

Step 3 Delete the rem that begins the Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = "" line, so that the line looks like the following example: 

Function VMNInitFn()

Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = ""

rem Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = ""

End Function

Step 4 At the end of the Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = "" line, enter the name or IP address of the Cisco Unity Connection server between the quotation marks after the equal (=) sign.

Step 5 If there is a firewall that blocks HTTPS traffic between user workstations and the Connection server: Delete the rem that begins the Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = "" line, so that the line looks like the following example: 

Function VMNInitFn()

rem Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = ""

Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = ""

rem Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = ""

End Function

Step 6 At the end of the Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = "" line, enter the IP address of the HTTPS proxy server between the quotation marks after the equal (=) sign.

Step 7 If there is a firewall that blocks HTTPS traffic between user workstations and the Connection server: Delete the rem that begins the Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = "" line, so that the line looks like the following example: 

Function VMNInitFn()

rem Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = ""

Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = ""

rem Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = ""

End Function

Step 8 At the end of the Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = "" line, enter the server port to use when connecting to the HTTPS proxy server between the quotation marks after the equal (=) sign.

Step 9 Delete the rem that begins the Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = "" line, so that the line looks like the following example: 

Function VMNInitFn()

rem Session.Property("UNITYCONNECTIONSSERVER") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYSERVERADDRESS") = ""

rem Session.Property("PROXYPORT") = ""

Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = ""

End Function

Step 10 At the end of the Session.Property("HTTPSCERTIFICATE") = "" line, enter the applicable value:

If default self-signed certificate installed
with Connection is being used

Enter 0 between the quotation marks after the equal (=) sign.

If default self-signed certificate is replaced
with a certificate from a certificate authority

Enter 1 between the quotation marks after the equal (=) sign.


(For more information, see the "Securing Cisco PCA and IMAP Email Client Access to Cisco Unity Connection" chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection.)

Step 11 Save the script file and close the text editor.

Step 12 Open a Command Prompt window. (On the Windows Start menu, select Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.)

Step 13 Change to the ViewMail for Notes <language code> directory for the language MSI file that you are customizing.

Step 14 Enter vmaddbin CiscoUnityConnection.VMN7.1.2.<language code>.msi VMNInit.vbs, and press Enter. When the script completes, your cursor returns to the command line.

Step 15 Close the Command Prompt window.

Step 16 Run the file CiscoUnityConnection.VMN7.1.2.<language code>.msi on a test machine to confirm that the installation completes successfully. (If the installation is unsuccessful, verify the changes made to VMNInit.vbs.)

Step 17 Repeat Step 2 through Step 16 for any additional language MSI files that will be installed for users in your organization.

Installing ViewMail for Notes 7.1(3)

ViewMail for Notes is installed from the ViewMail disc. Alternatively, consider providing users with network access to the ViewMail for Notes application and a procedure so that they can install ViewMail themselves.

By default, ViewMail for Notes files are installed in the directory C:\Program Files\VMN. You can specify a different directory during a first-time installation of ViewMail. (See also "Files and Registry Keys Installed and Used by ViewMail for Notes" section.)

If you are upgrading from the 7.1(2) version of ViewMail, choose the same directory that was used for the earlier version.

Note•In a Notes multiple-user installation scenario:

–For a new installation, ViewMail for Notes must be installed for each user who logs on to the workstation. (For example, if you are logged on as John Doe and install ViewMail for Notes, it is available only to John Doe on that workstation. If Jane Doe uses the workstation and needs ViewMail for Notes, then log on as Jane Doe and install ViewMail for Notes for Jane Doe.)

–For an upgrade, ViewMail for Notes must be upgraded and running the same version for each user who logs on to the workstation.

•In a Notes single-user installation scenario, ViewMail for Notes is installed once and is available to all users on that workstation.

To Install ViewMail for Notes 7.1(3)

Step 1 Confirm that ViewMail for Notes requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.

Step 2 If you are installing ViewMail for multiple users who share a workstation: For each user, log on as that user to install ViewMail. For all users who use the workstation, select the same destination folder during each installation.

Step 3 Insert the disc.

OR

Browse to the directory on the network drive in which you copied the ViewMail for Notes files from the disc.

Step 4 Double-click the file CiscoUnityConnection.VMN7.1.3.ENU.msi

Step 5 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
