Server Name

DNS name or IP address of the mailserver (for help, contact your network adminis-

trator).

Secure Password Authentication

The option enables use of SPA authentication (based on NTLM authentication). When

checked, users are not required to set usernames and passwords — authentication

against domain will be used instead.

To make the SPA authentication work, both the computer as well as the user account

have to be parts of the domain used for authentication.

Username

Username used for logging to the MailServer. If the user does not belong to the pri-

mary domain, a full user name including domain is required ([email protected]).

Password

Enter your username.

Press the Retrieve Info button to test if correct user data has been specified and if the

connection to Kerio MailServer works properly. If the test is finished successfully, a corre-

sponding User Name and Email Address are automatically filled in.

By default, any traffic between Kerio MailServer and MS Outlook is secured by SSL. If there

are no problems encountered regarding encrypted traffic, it is recommended to keep set-

tings unchanged.

Warning: SSL-secured traffic requires installation of an SSL certificate issued by a trust-

worthy certification authority.

6.1.3 Automatic updates

Updates of Kerio Outlook Connector are performed automatically. In addition to this, update

check for new versions of Kerio MailServer and Kerio Outlook Connector is performed upon

each startup of MS Outlook. If a new version is available or the versions are different on the

server and the client, a recommendation for update of Kerio Outlook Connector appears. Once

this dialog is confirmed, update is performed, followed by an automatic restart of MS Outlook.

The whole update including restart should take up to two minutes, depending on connection

data-flow speed.

6.2 The Online/Offline mode

Kerio Outlook Connector (Offline Edition) supports both modes, online and offline. Online

mode is the standard MS Outlookmode which requires connection to the Internet. Offline

mode allows running of MS Outlook and working there without connection to the Internet.

This requires all email, events, tasks, etc. being stored in the local message store on the

client station. Upon connection to the Internet, it is possible to synchronized changes with the

corresponding account in Kerio MailServer.
