This chapter describes how to verify that Oracle Communications Contacts Server is installed correctly.
To verify the Contacts Server configuration, you configure a client to connect to the server.
Users need to be provisioned in Directory Server. For more information, see Directory Server and schema information in Calendar Server Concepts.
Obtain the following information on your Contacts Server deployment:
Application server host name and port number where Contacts Server is installed
User identifier (email address or uid@domain)
If SSL is used
This information describes how to configure Android, Apple, and Lightning clients to communicate with Contacts Server.
Use the following server addresses when configuring Contacts Server clients:
If the deploy URI is /, use:
http://example.com:port/
If the deploy URI is /nabserver, use:
http://example.com:port/nabserver
For iOS and Mac OS clients, you can use any of the following server addresses:
http://example.com:port/ or http://example.com:port/dav/principals/user@domain/ or http://example.com:port/dav/principals/user@domain/addressbook/
If you deployed Contacts Server on / as the context root, with the default HTTP and HTTPS ports (80 and 443 respectively), then clients construct the URI on their own and you do not have to enter a value.
Samsung and Thunderbird clients require that you enter the entire server address, such as the following:
http://example.com:port/dav/home/user@domain/addressbook/
