Part V Deploying Communications ExpressThis part contains the following chapters: Chapter 23 Introduction to Communications Express SoftwareCommunications Express provides an integrated web-based communications and collaboration client. Communications Express is a common component of Messaging Server and Calendar Server, providing end users with a web interface to their calendar information and mail, as well as an address book. Communications Express consists of three client modules: Calendar, Address Book, and Mail. This chapter contains the following sections: Communications Express OverviewCommunications Express depends upon the following Sun Java System component products:
You install Communications Express as a front-end server (in a multi-tier environment). The Messaging Server packages can then be configured to run as Webmail server, which connects to a back-end store running Webmail server. Also, both Communications Express and Messenger Express can run on different IP addresses. In addition, you can configure Communications Express to have the Address Book on the front-end machine store its data either in the LDAP directory infrastructure or on an LDAP server other than the Communications Express machine. See the Sun Java System Communications Express 6.3 Administration Guide for more information. Communications Express communicates with Calendar Server through the Calendar Server HTTP service, the mshttpd daemons for Messaging Server, and the LDAP service for address book. The cshttpd daemon, the mshttpd daemon can be local or remote, and the LDAP service can all be either local or remote. When using a load balancer or port director type device, make sure to utilize “sticky” (persistent) connections such that users are continually routed to the same front-end server for the duration of their session. Communications Express Features
Communications Express High-Level ArchitectureThe Calendar and Address Book client modules are deployed as a single web application in any web container. The mail module is rendered by the Messenger Express. Messenger Express is the standalone web interface mail application that uses the HTTP service of the Messaging Server. Figure 23–1 shows the Communications Express software architecture. Figure 23–1 High Level Communications Express Software Architecture
Communications Express consists of the following modules:
Chapter 24 Developing a Communications Express ArchitectureThis chapter contains Communications Express basic deployment architectures. Depending on the features you want to implement in your deployment, you will need to install different sets of hosts and other networking infrastructure. This chapter contains the following sections: Basic Communications Express ArchitectureThis basic Communications Express architecture provides Calendar, Address Book, and Mail modules in a web container on a single host. Messenger Express is the standalone web interface mail application that uses the HTTP service of the Messaging Server. Messenger Express is deployed on the same system as the Calendar and Address Book modules. To provide this basic functionality, you need to install the following components:
In this example:
Figure 24–1 shows the basic Communications Express architecture. Figure 24–1 Basic Communications Express Architecture
The following table explains the protocols and port numbers used by this architecture. Table 24–1 Protocols And Ports Used by Basic Communications Express Deployment Architecture
Communications Express on Remote Host ArchitectureFigure 24–2 shows a Communications Express architecture where both intranet and Internet users log on to Communications Express on the front-end host, which accesses the back-end host on the user's behalf. You can enable SSO on the front-end host such that Communications Express validates the session in Access Manager. You install the front-end host with the following components:
You install the back-end with the following components:
