The Outlook Gear gives visitors access to their Microsoft Outlook account. Visitors can use this access to send and receive e-mail from within the portal.
Installation Configuration
You can configure the Web Access Host and Proxy Servlet Host settings in an installation configuration of the Outlook Gear. To configure the Web Host and Proxy Host settings of your MS Outlook server you must be a Portal Administrator.
To configure the Outlook Gear in the Portal Administration:
Click the configure link for the gear in the Available Gears page. A page opens titled Configure Outlook Server URLs.
Enter the Web Access Host URL. The form of your URL may vary depending on the settings chosen by your Web Access Administrator.
Enter the SSL Proxy Servlet Host URL. This is used to transmit user ID and password information using a separate SSL encoded instance of ATG. If you are using an SSL secured session of ATG, provide the URL for that other session here. To use the SSL secured session, your MS Exchange Web Access settings must allow basic authentication. If you are not using SSL encoding, enter the same URL that you used for the Web Access Host.
Click Update.
The gear is updated to use the new settings and information.
Instance Configuration
You can configure the descriptive information and access settings in an instance configuration of the Outlook Gear.
Enter the Community Administration. Click the Community Gears tab to view the Configure Gear Instances page.
Click the Configure link next to the Outlook Gear name.
The Configure Gear: Outlook Page opens.
Enter a gear name and description. Select sharing and Make visible to options.
Click Done.
The gear is updated to use the new information.
Logging In to the Outlook Gear
If a visitor enters an invalid username and password into the login fields for the Outlook Gear, the community pages still render the Outlook Gear with Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Task links. If the visitor clicks on these links, the visitor is asked to login again. Any attempts, however, to login from this location fail, even if the login information is valid. The visitor must return to the community page, click the Edit button in the gear title, and re-enter the login information in the Gear Configuration Pages.
