I am having an issue configuring free time lookup in an adjacent domain. The adjacent domain document is in the NAB and I can see the address book for the adjacent domain without issue. The calendar server name in the adjacent domain document has been confirmed to be correct. When creating a new calendar entry I can choose the adjacent domain address book and add users to the invitee list. When I check the free time lookup for those attendees the information remains greyed out and I notice in my status bar that I get an error stating public key cannot be found. I can only assume this is referring to my public key being present in the adjacent domain since I am not a member of that domain. Everything I’ve looked at suggests that the configuration is correct and the free time lookup should be working. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Look for section Is it possible to setup resource reservation databases to work between seperate domains.
It looks similar

Subject: Not using your key
If you are seeing a status bar message with some error then it is likely the one being passed back from CalConn → your Home Server → you. CalConn is just turning your server into a ‘client’ and sending the same request you just sent the Home Server to the remote server (but with a potentially shorter list of names).
So it sounds like there is an issue with server to server authentication between your Home Server and the one in the Adjacent domain that it is trying to connect to. Make sure that they are properly certified or cross certified and that the key information on both sides is correct.
You can try watching the server console on the adjacent domains server to see what kind of error message spits out when you do the look up attempt. That may provide you more guidance. (Im not a security guru…)
Related tip: You may see “No Info” gray for a user when in fact we have returned an error code for them. To find out what the error was, simply click in the scheduler grid in the “No Info” gray area. If an error code did come back, it will display on the status bar. That should help point you in the right direction to start with.
