After you complete the Messaging Server installation on the proxy machine, configure the Messenger Express Multiplexor parameters:
Gather the needed back-end Messaging Server information.
Run the configutil command in the directory of your back-end messaging servers to determine the values of the parameters that are later described in this section. The configuration of the proxy machine (where the Multiplexor will be enabled) must match the back-end messaging servers to ensure successful setup.
Set the configuration parameters for the Messenger Express Multiplexor.
Run the configutil command in directory msg_svr_base/sbin/configutil of your proxy machine messaging server to set the configuration values. Note that these values should match the values of the back-end messaging servers.
The following sections describe the configutil parameters needed to set up the Messenger Express Multiplexor:
You will need to make sure that the Directory Server parameters are correctly specified prior to enabling the Messenger Express Multiplexor. To determine your LDAP parameters, run the following command in the appropriate back-end Messaging Server instance directory:
configutil -o local.ugldaphost
This parameter displays the users and groups LDAP Directory Server that the back-end messaging servers use. Make sure that ldaphost is set to the same value (or a replicated LDAP server containing the same data) that the back-end messaging servers use.
configutil -o local.ugldapbinddn and configutil -o local.ugldapbindcred
These parameters display the DN and password of the users and groups Directory Server administrator. Both ldapbinddn and ldapbindcred must be the same as in your back-end messaging servers specifications.
You will need to make sure that the dcroot is correctly specified. To determine your dcroot, run the following command in the appropriate messaging server instance directory:
You will need to make sure that the messaging server default domain (defaultdomain) is correctly indicated. To determine your messaging server default domain, run the following configutil command in the appropriate messaging server instance directory:
configutil -o service.defaultdomain
Make sure that the login separator (loginseparator) is consistent with the login separator used by the back-end messaging server. To determine your messaging server login separator, run the configutil command in the appropriate back-end messaging server instance directory:
