Setting up remote updates with specific remote systems

After you define the remote directory update capabilities for your local MSS, you must define the remote directory update capabilities of each remote Modular Messaging system or Message Networking system.

Note: If your network contains one or more Message Networking systems, there are two different ways that you can set up remote directory updates with another Modular Messaging system. Each Modular Messaging system can be set up to provide updates directly to the other Modular Messaging systems in the network (without using a Message Networking system). Or, the Message Networking system can be used to provide updates to the Modular Messaging systems in the network (that is, in a hub-and-spoke topology). For more detailed information about setting up remote directory updates with other Modular Messaging systems using a Message Networking system, see the Message Networking online Help.

To define the remote directory update capabilities of a specific remote system:

  1. On the Manage Networked Machines page, select the networked machine for which you want to set up remote updates and click Edit the Selected Networked Machine.

    The system displays the current settings of the selected networked machine in the Edit Networked Machine page.

  2. Specify whether the networked machine is able to accept incoming updates and send updates to networked machines:
    • Use the Updates In? field to specify whether the networked machine is able to accept incoming updates. Select yes to accept updates or select no to restrict the networked machine from accepting incoming updates.
    • Use the Updates Out? field to specify whether the networked machine is able to send updates to networked machines. Select yes to enable the local machine to send updates to networked machines. Select no to restrict the local machine from sending updates to networked machines.

    Note: You must also set up remote updates for the local machine.

  3. In the Inbound LDAP Security field, select one of the following values:
    • Must use SSL to require Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for inbound LDAP directory updates.
    • Must use SSL or encrypted SASL to require SSL or encrypted Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) for inbound LDAP directory updates.
  4. Click Save.

    The changes are saved and the system displays the Manage Networked Machines list.
