Create NMAP Agent

The NMAP Agent is responsible for managing the message store (where user mailboxes are located) and the message queue (where incoming and outgoing messages are processed). In addition, the NMAP Agent provides IP access to the message store and message queues for all other NIMS agents on port 689.

NMAP stands for Network Messaging Application Protocol. It is the messaging protocol used to move messages through your NIMS system, placing the NMAP Agent at the heart of your NIMS system.

Fill in the NMAP Agent fields > click Apply to create the NMAP Agent object. Click the new NMAP Agent object to define additional object properties.

Path
Specify the volume and, optionally, the directory where the NMAP Agent will create the message store and message queues.

Context
Specify the NDS context that will be serviced by the NMAP Agent. Messaging services will automatically be provided to every user in the specified context. Mailboxes will be created in the local message store directory when users begin sending and receiving messages.

When creating the NMAP Agent object, you can select only one user context. However, when configuring the NMAP Agent, you can add multiple user contexts.
