To congure external servers for web calendar and mail rules:

2 Click the triangle at the left of the server.
The list of services appears.

and then click Save.
4 From the expanded Servers list, select Web.
5 Click Settings, then click Wiki.
6 Click Congure next to External Web Services.
7 Enter the host name of calendar or mail servers.
If you’re using the web server you’re conguring for calendar or mail service, you don’t
need to enter host names in these elds.
8 If you’re conguring a calendar server that uses SSL, select SSL.
Because SSL is required for server-side mail rules, SSL is already selected.
9 Click Done.
After conguring other servers for web calendars and mail rules, enable them for
specic websites. For more information, see “Setting Up a Website for Wikis” on
page 22.
Conguring Other Servers for Hosting Wikis
You can host wikis on other servers, which can be accessed through a single host
name. So for example, if you have 2000 wikis, you can use four servers to host 500
wikis each. Users can access these wikis through the same host name (such as wikis.
example.com).
You need the following:
Main web server—This server runs web service but doesn’t need to run wiki service. Â
Users connect to wikis by using the host name of a website on this server.
At least one other server—These servers run web service and wiki service. Â
The main web server should be able to connect to ports 8086 and 8087 on the other
servers.
The following tasks include an example scenario where Biology and
Algebra wikis are hosted on other servers (science.example.com and
math.example.com). After performing these steps, users can access the Biology
wiki from wikis.example.com/groups/biology/ and the Algebra wiki from
wikis.example.com/groups/algebra/.
