The settings differ according to what version of MS Entourage is used.
Whenever a new profile is created or right upon a successful installation of the application, the Entourage Setup Assistant is started automatically. It is recommended not to use this wizard to create a KMS (Exchange) account.
To set the account in MS Entourage, use menu (see figure 9.2 Accounts):
Click on the button on the Accounts dialog box toolbar.
This opens a dialog where new accounts can be created. The dialog includes the option. Click on this button to set an account.
This opens a dialog where an account can be set manually. Use some of the tabs to set an account parameters:
Account Settings — the tab allows specification of basic information about the user and the server which will be used for connections (see figure 9.3 Manual account configuration — Account Settings):
- Account name
The name of the email account.
- Name
Any name (the first name and last name of the user is recommended) that will be displayed in the message header.
- E-mail address
The email address of the user.
- Account ID
Username used for login to Kerio MailServer. The username is specified as
userwithout the at sign and domain.- Domain
Name of the email domain where the user has an account.
- Password
The password used for accessing your account in Kerio MailServer.
- Exchange server
DNS name or IP address of the machine where Kerio MailServer is running.
The traffic between Kerio MailServer and MS Entourage is usually maintained through the WebDAV interface (HTTP protocol) at port 80. If HTTP in Kerio MailServer is running on a non-standard port, it is necessary to enable the Override default DAV port option and change the port.
The traffic can also be secured by SSL. To encrypt the traffic, use the This DAV service requires a secure connection (SSL) option. When it is checked, the port in Override default DAV port is changed to port 443 (the default port for HTTPS). If another port number is specified, it is necessary to check also the Override default DAV port and change the port number to
443. Otherwise, connection to Kerio MailServer fails. It is also necessary to change the port if HTTP(S) protocol in Kerio MailServer communicates at a non-standard port. In such a case, it is necessary to specify the port number used by Kerio MailServer for HTTPS traffic.
Advanced — use this tab to set connection to a Free/Busy and to a LDAP server (see figure 9.4 Manual account setting — Advanced):
- Public folder server
In the entry, it is possible to enter a URL address to the Free/Busy server. The Free/Busy server is a public calendar that displays the free/busy data for all users that have an account in Kerio MailServer, and work with the calendar in MS Entourage, in MS Outlook or in the Kerio WebMail interface. For detailed information on usage of this feature, refer to chapter 9.3 Scheduling of meetings.
- This DAV service requires a secure connection (SSL)
It is also possible to connect to the Free/Busy built in Kerio MailServer via secured SSL. If the HTTPS service in Kerio MailServer is running on a standard port, simply enable this option. The port in Override default DAV port is changed to 443 (see figure 9.19 Setting secure version of WebDAV for connections to the Free/Busy server).
- Override default DAV port
If Kerio MailServer communicates at a non-standard port, check this option and overwrite the port.
- LDAP server
Enter DNS name of IP address of the LDAP server (typically the address of your Kerio MailServer) — see figure 9.4 Manual account setting — Advanced.
Note
MS Entourage supports only the default private Contacts folder. It does not support for displaying of shared (unless delegation is set) and public contact folders nor it supports private contact subfolders created in Kerio WebMail (unless they are shared and connected by delegation). However you can add addresses from these other Contact folders through an LDAP search when creating a new email (see chapter 9.2 Connection to the LDAP server).
- This server requires me to log on
This option must be used if you want to use the LDAP database in Kerio MailServer since the LDAP server in Kerio MailServer does not allow anonymous connections.
- This server requires a secure connection (SSL)
Communication with the LDAP server in Kerio MailServer can be secured by SSL. If this encryption is used, it is also necessary to change the port in Override default LDAP port (standard port for LDAPS is 636).
- Override default LDAP port
By default, MS Entourage uses a non-standard port where the MS Exchange email client is run. Whenever a user connects to Kerio MailServer, they must change the port to the port on which the Kerio MailServer's LDAP service is running.
It is therefore necessary to check this option and enter the correct port number and every time. The standard port number for the non-secured LDAP is 389 and the standard port number for SSL-secured LDAP is 636. If the LDAP service in Kerio MailServer is running on a non-standard port, specify the port used by the LDAP(S) service in Kerio MailServer.
Whenever a new profile is created or right upon a successful installation of the application, the Entourage Setup Assistant is started automatically. It is recommended not to use this wizard to create a KMS (Exchange) account.
Follow these instructions to set the account:
In the menu, select Accounts. This opens the account management dialog (see figure 9.5 Accounts). In this dialog, click on . In the new account wizard just opened, click on and in the menu select the Exchange account type.
This opens an Exchange account settings dialog (see figure 9.6 Account Settings). On the Account Settings tab, set the following parameters:
- Account name
The name of the email account.
- Name
Any name (the first name and last name of the user is recommended) that will be displayed in the message header.
- E-mail address
The email address of the user.
- Account ID
Username used for login to Kerio MailServer. The username is specified as
userwithout the at sign and domain.- Domain
Name of the email domain where the user has an account.
- Password
The password used for accessing your account in Kerio MailServer.
- Exchange server
DNS name or IP address of the machine where Kerio MailServer is running.

- Public folder server
