Details
Simplified Administration Page
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
With this release, we condensed the administration page and moved everything to one screen. In addition, there is a new auto-detect wizard which will detect your configuration much more reliably!
You can find the settings in your add-on section in Confluence under "OUTLOOK CALENDARS" → "Calendar Configuration".
Improved Exchange Support
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
We improved support for Exchange in a number of ways:
- Autodiscover works now more reliable and can also detect login via domain username
- Exchange 2010 support was added - please let us know in case you are still facing issues with this environment
- Requests to the Exchange server (via EWS) are now routed via Confluence, so no data is leaving your environment
You should be able to use our auto-detect wizard to find the correct configuration for your Exchange environment!
