Configuring external URLs and autodiscover
To ensure that devices and client software can correctly access BlueMind via mapi, EAS or IMAP synchronization connections, make sure that BlueMind's external url and autodiscover are correctly configured.
The External URL
BlueMind's external URL must be reachable in HTTPS from client workstations without displaying a security warning.

The autodiscover URL
Introduction
Autodiscover is the mechanism by which servers and client software automatically detect the connection parameters to a mailbox.
The autodiscover URL is usually formed by replacing the 1st part of the external URL with the autodiscover keyword.
For example, for the external URL server https://mail.bluemind.loc, the autodiscover URL will be https://autodiscover.bluemind.loc.
Requirements to be met
- The autodiscover URL must point to the BlueMind external URL (see above).
To do this:
- go to the admin console in System management > Managed domains > select the relevant domain > General tab
- enter the autodiscover url in the "Other URLs" field:
- No security warning related to the ssl certificate should be displayed when accessing this address from a browser.
- DNS records must be active.
