Configuring account settings (Example)

Bill logs on to http://www.ibmcloud.com/social as the first company administrator. He uses the completed account settings worksheet to configure account settings. He performs the following tasks to configure account settings, as described in the topic Roadmap to configuring a hybrid environment.

• Providing a certifier ID file
• Specifying one or more passthru servers
• Specifying a mail routing server
• Creating a base name for your mail servers
• Specifying a Domino Directory synchronization server

The following information about this task is important to remember.

• An IBM Customer Service Representative must add the SmartCloud Notes subscription for a company before account settings can be configured.
• Adding the company subscription creates the first company administrator account for the company. The first company administrator receives an email invitation with a URL to use to log on to the Connections Cloud website for the first time.
• When configuring account settings, the company administrator uploads the organizational unit certifier ID file to use for certification of the mail servers of service users. It is important that the administrator verifies that the selected Certifier ID file is correct before clicking the Upload button. After the certifier ID file is uploaded, it cannot be changed to an ID with a different certifier name.
• When configuring account settings, you can provide the host name or the IP address of a passthru server. Best practice is to provide a host name. If you provide an IP address and the IP address changes in the future, you must configure account settings and run the Domain Configuration tool again.
