Installing and Configuring HP X.400 Administrator's Guide

Configuring an HP X.400/HP Desk Node 

You need to configure each HP X.400/HP Desk Node that is connected to HP
X.400 using HP Desk.A maximum of 200 HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes, adjacent
MTAs, and API clients can be configured.

To configure the HP X.400/HP Desk Node,

   *   Select HPDESK from the Configure X.400 Menu.

This displays the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes screen.

Figure 7-9. Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes Screen
NOTE If you are configuring X.400 for the first time, this screen does not display any HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes. If you are reconfiguring, this screen displays the list of HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes that have already been configured.
The fields on the screen are: Node Name Display. NS node name that identifies the HP 3000 MPE V or MPE XL system connected to X.400. This is the node on which the HP X.400/HP Desk software is installed. NS Domain.Org Display. NS domain and organization for the HP X.400/HP Desk Node. Alias Node Name Display. Alias name assigned to the node so that the user can more easily identify node names. If an alias is not entered when you configure the node, the node name displays in this field instead of the alias name. For example, if node names are hpinda, hpindb, and hpindc, you can assign alias names such as Muskox, Rocko, and Jason so these nodes are easily recognizable to the user. Output Queue Display. This directory name is automatically assigned when the node is first configured. The full directory name is /usr/spool/x400/oq/ output queue. For example: /usr/spool/x400/oq/oq001. If you need to scrollthe screen, * Press the Page Down key to scroll forward for additional entries, or * Press the Page Up key to scroll to previous entries. To add, modify, or delete a node, * Press the Action Menu key to display the Action Menu so you can select Add HP X.400/HP Desk Node, Modify HP X.400/HP Desk Node, or Delete HP X.400/HP Desk Node. Adding an HP X.400/HP Desk Node To add an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, * Select Add HP X.400/HP Desk Node from on the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes Action Menu. This displays the Add HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen.

NOTE You must configure the local MTA before configuring the HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes. The local MTA configuration defines the country, ADMD, and PRMD that are used as the default values on this screen.
The fields on the screen are: Node Name Required Enter the NS node name that identifies the HP 3000 MPE V or MPE XL system connected to X.400. This is the node on which the HP X.400/HP Desk software is installed. The name can be up to 16 characters, and may include alphanumeric characters and the hyphen (-). The first character must be alphabetic. It cannot be the same name as a local or adjacent MTA, Sendmail connection, OpenMail connection, or API client. Domain Required.

Org Required. Enter the NS organization for the HP X.400/HP Desk Node. This is the organization associated with the NS node name, and not the X.400 organization name used in an O/R address. The name can be up to 16 characters, and may include alphanumeric characters and the hyphen (-). The first character must be alphabetic. Alias Node Name Optional. Default: value entered for Node Name field. Enter an alias name for the node name so that the user can more easily identify the node.

Default: PRMD name of the local MTA. Enter the Private Management Domain name assigned to the HP X.400/HP Desk Node. The wildcard, asterisk (*), and the null character (#)may be entered in this attribute for the primary route. If this field in HP X.400/HP Desk Node's configuration is used to store location/sublocation, leave this field blank. The name is a printable string of up to 16 characters. Organization Name Optional. Enter the Organization Name assigned to this HP X.400/HP Desk Node. The wildcard, asterisk (*), and the null character (#)may be entered in this attribute for the primary route. The name is a printable string of up to 64 characters.

When you add an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, a routeis automatically generated. The local MTAuses this route to determine which incoming messages are to be routed to this HP X.400/HP Desk Node. The following attributes determine the route: * Country * ADMD * PRMD * Organization Name * Organization Unit Names 1-4 The route must match the O/R address configured in HP X.400/HP Desk for the HP X.400/HP Desk Node. In general, the values entered should be the same as the values configured in HP X.400/HP Desk. However, you may wish to enter a wildcard in some attributes so that they match a number of different values configured in HP X.400/HP Desk. See Configuring Routes for an explanation of wildcarding. The attribute(s) where the location/sublocation is stored should be left blank so it matches any value. Use x4rtview to check that the O/R address configured in HP X.400/HP Desk routes to this HP X.400/HP Desk Node. Additional routes may be entered on the routes screen, which is discussed later in this chapter. When the fields on this screen are correctly defined, * Press the Perform Task key to save the data in the configuration file and a confirmation message displays. The screen clears and you can add additional nodes. * Press the Exit Task key to return to the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen. If you need to cancel the data you just typed, * Press the Exit Task key and return to the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen. Modifying an HP X.400/HP Desk Node To modify an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, * Select the node to be modified from the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes screen. * Press the Action Menu key. * Select Modify HP X.400/HP Desk Node from the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes Action Menu. This displays the Modify HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen, which displays the values of the parameters already defined for the node.

Figure 7-11. Modify HP X.400/HP Desk Node Screen For a description of the fields, refer to the Add HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen field descriptions. When you modify an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, its first routeis automatically modified. The local MTAuses this route to determine which incoming messages are to be routed to this HP X.400/HP Desk Node. The following attributes determine the route: * Country * ADMD * PRMD * Organization Name * Organization Unit Names 1-4 The route must match the O/R address configured in HP X.400/HP Desk for the HP X.400/HP Desk Node. In general, the values entered should be the same as the values configured in HP X.400/HP Desk. However, you may wish to enter a wildcard in some attributes so that they match a number of different values configured in HP X.400/HP Desk. See Configuring Routes for an explanation of wildcarding. The attribute(s) where the location/sublocation is stored should be left blank so it matches any value. Use x4rtview to check that the O/R address configured in HP X.400/HP Desk routes to this HP X.400/HP Desk Node. Additional routes may be entered on the route screen, which is discussed later in this chapter. After you modify the values for the desired fields, * Press the Perform Task key to save the data in the configuration file and a confirmation message displays. The screen clears and you can add additional nodes. * Press the Exit Task key to return to the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen. If you need to cancel the data you just typed, * Press the Exit Task key and return to the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen. Deleting an HP X.400/HP Desk Node To delete an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, * Select the HP X.400/HP Desk Node to be deleted from the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes screen. * Press the Action Menu key. * Select Delete HP X.400/HP Desk Node from the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes Action Menu This displays the Delete HP X.400/HP Desk Node window.

Figure 7-12. Delete HP X.400/HP Desk Node Window This screen displays a confirmation message asking if you want to delete the selected node. To delete the selected node, * Press the Confirm key. Any routes to this node are automatically deleted. When deleting an HP X.400/HP Desk Node, the queue directoriesassociated with the node is no longer serviced once the configuration is ENABLED. These queue directories and any message files in them are not deleted. These message files can be viewed and deleted using x4queview. The queue directories may be deleted using the HP-UX command rmdir <directory name>. The directories which may contain messages destined to/from the HP X.400/HP Desk Node are: /usr/spool/x400/oq/<oq> /usr/spool/x400/doq/<oq> /usr/spool/x400/eiq/<node name> where <oq> and <node name> are displayed on the Configure HP X.400/HP Desk Node screen. To cancelthe deletion and not delete the selected node, * Press the Cancel key.
