Cannot create BlackBerryManager profile.

[smurray@gmail.com]

I am following the documentation in ZimbraBESConnector-5.0.beta2.pdf step by step.

I am currently working on "To create the BlackBerryManager profile." Every time I run through the add account wizard, it gives me an error pop-up message: "Your account could not be validated against the zimbra server. Please make sure you are online, and that you entered the correct information."

Why is this? The same information I enter here (the BB admin account I created earlier) can be used if I login to the web interface.

Furthermore, in the documentation for this section, number 8. states "Port" - yet there is no option for this.

Yes this is on Windows 2003 Server
Yes I installed the MAPI/CDO package
Yes I installed Outlook 2003
Yes I have the BB controller service stopped
Yes I verified the BB admin account works in the zimbra web interface

Any suggestions?

that maybe be referring to our old profile creation UI. now to specify the port, use the colon after the hostname.

i.e.

my.server.com:7071

That worked.

Is there new documentation out yet?

not as of yet. the plan is to have another ZCB Beta shortly. don't ask me when since i don't have a firm date. that should include updated documentation.

we are in the midst of removing some dependencies from outlook but it cannot be fully removed as of yet.
