This session will discuss how Domino and Office 365 can co exist and work together. Presentation by: Heather Hottenstein Director Customer Service RPR Wyatt

Skype for Business
Instant Messaging Integration

12. • On premise vs Azure Active Directory
• People vs Mailbox User/Mail User/Contact
• Groups
– Domino - Multi purpose, ACL, Mail, Servers, Deny List
– O365 - Distribution, Security, Dynamic Distribution, Office 365
group
• Mail in Databases vs Shared Databases
• Domino synchronization services, Third Party
Directory Synchronization

13. • LDAP provides a way to authenticate but both
AD/AAD/O365 and Domino require they are the
directory ”master” so Dirsync is necessary for these two
systems to work together
• SAML – supported 90% by Domino and 100% by AAD,
so this is a good path to pursue IMHO, however:
– Assertions not supported
– Managed logout not supported
• OAuth – not supported by Domino
Authentication Coexistence

14. Please support SAML full implementation in Domino
