Introduction
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 5 of 45
Introduction
This document describes the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for IBM Lotus Notes
(Cisco TMSXN) installation process. The software is an optional add-on component to Cisco
TelePresence Management Suite (Cisco TMS), which gives users the ability to schedule video
conferences, book meeting rooms and invite participants using their Lotus Notes client. The video
conferencing systems are registered in a resource database on the Domino server, allowing end users
to view their availability when making bookings.
The extension uses software components installed on the Lotus Domino server. Therefore, client
machines do not need to be modified. This gives system administrators a centrally deployed solution,
simplifying maintenance.
See http://www.lotus.com for more information about IBM Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Notes.
How to use this document
The installation procedure for Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for IBM Lotus Notes
depends on the version of IBM Lotus Notes/Domino that you use. Therefore, some of the subsections
will include version numbers in the heading indicating which version(s) they are valid for. Steps in
subsections without version numbers apply to all versions of IBM Lotus Notes/Domino.
Note: Users of IBM Lotus Domino/Notes 7.x should note that the menu option described in this
document as File > Application is called File > Database in the 7.x user interface.

Naming of systems in IBM Lotus Domino and Cisco TMS
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 7 of 45
Naming of systems in IBM Lotus Domino and
Cisco TMS
The name of a system in Cisco TMS is only a label, therefore it can be changed without doing any
Lotus resource re-configuration. However, for consistency and ease of maintenance, Cisco
TelePresence recommends that all installations have consistent names in both Lotus and the Cisco
TMS web interface.
System IDs in Cisco TMS
When defining resource accounts in Domino, use Cisco TMS system IDs to link the two. In Cisco
TMS, a system’s ID will not change unless the system is completely purged from the database.
Systems should not be purged and re-added to Cisco TMS unless absolutely necessary. Doing so will
make the system appear as a completely different system in Cisco TMS, along with a new system ID.
If a system’s ID changes and the system is also represented in Lotus, you must update the ID listed
for that system in the Lotus Resource database manually
Adding systems to Cisco TMS after installation of Cisco
TMSXN
After completing the Cisco TMS Integration with Lotus, the requirements for adding new systems to
Cisco TMS change slightly. When adding systems to Cisco TMS, it is important to add them to Lotus
before the systems are made available for booking in Cisco TMS. This can be done by setting Allow
booking to No for a system in Cisco TMS until it also has been added to Lotus. If a system is booked
in Cisco TMS before it has been added to Lotus, the meetings booked prior to the system being
created in Lotus will not replicate over to the Lotus calendars.
Note: This requirement only applies after the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for
IBM Lotus Notes has been installed, and for systems you intend to make available for booking in
Lotus.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 8 of 45
Installation
Complete the following steps to do a first-time installation and configuration of the Cisco TelePresence
Management Suite Extension for IBM Lotus Notes package with the Cisco TelePresence Management
Suite.
The term “Domino directory” is used throughout this document. The location of this directory is user
configurable during installation, and can for example be C:\Lotus\Domino\.
The integration files are included as part of the Cisco_TMSXN_v11_3_1.zip archive. The archive
includes two zip files:
 TMSXN_ForDominoV85.zip for version 8.5.x of IBM Lotus Notes
 TMSXN_ForDominoV70.zip for version 7.x and 8.0.x of IBM Lotus Notes
User Account Control (UAC)
Cisco TelePresence recommends that this setting is on for increased Domino server security. An
administrator can verify if UAC is on by going to Control Panel > User Accounts and clicking “Turn
User Account Control on or off”.

1. Copy the LotusNotesIntegrationForNotesV85.zip file to your Domino server and extract the files to
a temporary folder. If using FTP, use binary mode.
2. Extract the LotusNotesIntegrationForNotesV85\Javafiles.zip file to a temporary directory on the
Domino server.
a. Copy TMSConference.jar (found in the bin directory of the Javafiles.zip file) to the jvm\lib\ext
directory of the Domino directory.
b. Copy the files in the lib directory in the Javafiles.zip archive to the \jvm\lib\ext subdirectory of
the Domino directory. Do not overwrite existing files.
3. Verify that the copied .jar files have proper file security permissions by right clicking on them and
selecting Properties. Go to the Security tab and make sure that the Windows user (System user)
that the Domino processes run under has at least Read access to these files.
4. Copy the extracted template files, tmsresrc8.ntf and tmsmail85.ntf to your Domino Data directory.
5. Verify the proper file security permissions on the copied template files by right-clicking on them
and selecting Properties. In the Properties dialog, make sure the Read-only checkbox is
cleared. Go to the Security tab. Make sure that the Windows user that the Domino processes run
under (called System user) has full access to these files.
6. Copy the extractedTMSEventCatcher.dll file into your Domino directory.
7. Verify that TMSEventCatcher.dll has proper file security permissions. Right-click on it and select

Updating the java.policy file (all versions)
The java.policy file must be updated to allow Cisco TMSXN to use web services. The java.policy file is
by default found in the jvm\lib\security folder of your Domino directory.
Update the policy file by opening it in a text editor and adding the following line inside an existing grant
statement (see figure belowError! Reference source not found.):
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"write";
1
The mail template is a modified Notes 7 template. The mail template is also supported in Notes 8. (See
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21264690 for additional information.)

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 10 of 45
Save and close the java.policy file.
Figure 2: An updated java.policy file
Editing the notes.ini file
The notes.ini file is by default found in the Domino directory.
Open the notes.ini file in a text editor and add these lines to the top of the file (see also the figure
below):
TMSResourceDatabaseName=Video Conference Resources
TMSDeleteAgentName=RemoveConferenceParticipant
EXTMGR_ADDINS=TMSEventCatcher.dll
It is important that only one instance of each of these statements exists in the notes.ini file. If one of
these lines already exists in the notes.ini file, you must modify the existing line to include these values.
For the TMSResourcesDatabaseName variable, the name must match the name you intend to give
the resource reservation database to be used for video conferencing rooms. This database will be
created in a later step. Cisco TelePresence recommends using the name Video Conference
Resources.
Figure 3: An updated notes.ini file
Finally, save and close the notes.ini file.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 11 of 45
Restarting the Domino Service
Restart the Domino Service to apply the changes made either by using the restart server command in
the Domino console, or by restarting the Lotus Domino Service in the Services Console found at Start
> Administrative Tools > Services.
Signing the templates
The new template files must be signed with an appropriate ID from your organization.
Domino security requires that “new mail” agents run on the home server (mail server) of the signer.
Because the templates include “new mail” agents, the ID that signs the templates must have a mailbox
located on the server where you are installing the integration package.
Note: If you ignore this requirement, the agents are unable to run.
To sign the “new mail” agents, you must create a utility account on the Domino Server. However, you
can configure Domino to ignore this security requirement for mail agents running on the server. Note
that this will affect all “new mail” agents running on the server.
To disable the security check, modify the notes.ini file by adding the option AMgr_DisableMailLookup
= 1.
To sign the templates
1. Open Domino Administrator and select the server that you copied the template files to.
2. Go to the Files tab and select the data folder. In the Show me: drop-down list change the view to
Templates Only.
Highlight the two Cisco TMS templates, TMS Resource Reservations and TMS Mail (X2).
Figure 4: The Files tab, with the two Cisco TMS templates highlighted
2
Depending on the version of Notes, this will be 7 for V7.0.x and V8.0.x of Notes, and 8.5 for V8.5.x of
Notes.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 12 of 45
3. Right-click on the templates and select Sign…
a. Choose Active User’s ID to sign using the current user’s ID.
b. Make sure that the user has sufficient permissions to sign templates and that the user has a
mailbox on this Domino server.
4. Select the All design documents radio button.
5. Click OK.
The status bar shows the number of databases processed and the number errors if any occurred. See
the Domino Server logs for additional information if any errors occur.
You may get a Cross Certificate Warning because your organization does not have a trust to
/TANDBERG or /Cisco. This should be handled according to your organization’s policies.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 15 of 45
Figure 8: The Register Person page
Creating a service account on the Cisco TMS server
A user must be specified on the Cisco TMS server to be used as the login for Cisco TMSXN. This user
must be able to log onto the Cisco TMS server and have access to all the systems you intend to make
available through Lotus Notes. This user will appear as the owner of all meetings booked through
Lotus.
Cisco TelePresence recommends creating a separate user for the integration using the username
TMSLotus for this account:
1. Create a new Windows account. This can either be a domain account, or a local account on the
Cisco TMS server. You can use any name and username for the account. The account needs no
special Windows permissions except being able to log into Cisco TMS’ IIS server. Log into Cisco
TMS using the new user account to verify the account’s settings. When prompted for user profile
information, specify a first and last name to identify the user as the Lotus Service account. The
email address can be any email address, but cannot be left blank.
2. Log into Cisco TMS using an administrator account that has user configuration permissions.
Verify that the newly-created service account has sufficient group permissions to book all systems
intended to be made available to Lotus Notes users and Booking permission for all systems that
you wish to integrate with Lotus Notes. Navigate to Administrative Tools > User Administration
> Groups, hover the mouse over the relevant group, press the drop-down icon, and select Set
permissions.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 16 of 45
Figure 9: Creating a new user group having the Booking permission
Adjusting the web permissions on the Cisco TMS Server
The Java implementation on the Domino Server cannot support the default Integrated Authentication
permissions set on the Cisco TMS web site. Therefore the web site must be altered to allow “Basic
Authentication” login methods:
1. Open the IIS Manager on the Cisco TMS Server.
2. Navigate through the directories to Default WebSite > TMS > external > booking.
3. Right-click on the Bookingservice.asmx file and select Properties.
4. In the Properties dialog, click the File Security tab and locate the Authentication and Access
Control panel. Click Edit….
5. Make sure both the Integrated Windows Authentication and Basic Authentication check
boxes are selected.
6. Click OK to close the Authentication Methods window, and then click OK again to close the
bookingservice.asmx Properties window. Close the IIS Manager.
Enable secure communication (Optional)
Note: HTTPS is optional, and if opting to use HTTP, this section can be skipped.
In order to use HTTPS, both the Cisco TMS server and Notes must be configured. To set up the Cisco
TMS server for HTTPS, do the following.
1. Use makecert.exe to create a self-signed certificate. Makecert.exe is available from Windows
SDK Update site, and is also included in the .NET installations. An example of makecert.exe to
generate a certificate is shown below.
Note: This is for V2.0 of .NET framework, and has not been tested with V3.5 of .NET framework.
makecert.exe -r -pe -a SHA1 -ss my -sr LocalMachine -n “CN=%ComputerName%” -b 01/01/2000 -e
01/01/2050 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -sky exchange -sp “Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic
Provider” -sy 12
Replace %ComputerName% with the name of the computer.
2. Open IIS Manager and right click on the Cisco TMS site, and select Properties.
3. Go to Directory Security > Secure communications section, and select Server certificate.

Installation
Cisco TMS Extension for IBM Lotus Notes – Installation and getting started guide Page 17 of 45
4. When the wizard pops up, click Next, and then Assign an existing certificate. You can now see
the certificate that was created in step 1, click Next to see information about the certificate, and
click Next again to complete the installation. Cisco TMS is now configured for HTTPS.
To set up the Notes server, the certificate chain must be added to the Java certificate store:
1. Export the Cisco TMS server certificate to a .cer file. Copy the file to the Domino server, for
example c:\certificates\tmscertificate.cer.
2. Log in to the Domino server.
3. Open a command prompt on the Domino server.
4. Change directory to <Domino directory>\jvm\lib\security, for example cd Program
Files\Lotus\Domino\jvm\lib\security.
5. Import the certificate by writing ..\..\bin\keytool.exe -import -trustcacerts -keystore cacerts -alias
<myname> -file <location of certificate file>\tmsserverauth.cer. It is advisable to give the certificate
a proper alias (for example TMS_server_certificate).
6. Restart the Domino server.
Enabling agents in Resource Database (IBM Lotus
Notes/Domino versions 7.x and 8.0.x)
