Lexolution Integration with iDESK

The iDesk is a standalone service for connecting to an MS Exchange Server (on-premises), which is linked to Lexolution.KMS.

The settings for this are configured in the configuration file of the Lexolution server.
The entry in the configuration file of the Lexolution server under the section IDesk/Exchange Connector

<!-- IDesk/Exchange Connector Settings --> 
<add key="ExchangeKmsCalendarUser" value="User.Kalender@exchange365XXX.onmicrosoft.com" 

is obsolete as of version 9.5 of Lexolution. Starting with version 9.5, Lexolution automatically creates a group calendar.

*Communication via the Exchange connection in Lexolution is handled through STP Integration Services. The settings are made in the configuration file of the STP Integration Services.
