Troubleshooting

OWA Classifier Setup

Separate installation method for individual users or for all users is provided for OWA/Office 365 environment.

Web Service Address: No matter which method you use, you must provide the address used to access OWA. You must add /ews/exchange.asmx at the end. If OWA has an SSL, GEODI must also work with an SSL.

OWA Setup for Single User

Username and password must be given. Username, if it is in the domain, should be written as domain@username, if not, should be written directly. After entering the information, "Install to Server" completes the installation for the relevant user.

...

The batch installation steps are described below in the "Installation for All Users" step.

OWA Installation for All Users

With this process, we will be able to deploy the OWA plugin to all users defined on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. In the installation tab in the GEODI Classifier settings, we download our xml file that we will use during installation with "Download Manifest".

We click + in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center Organization / Add-ons section.

On the screen that opens, click Choose File, select our downloaded xml manifest file and upload it. Classifier OWA plugin has started to be distributed to all or desired users in the institution. Depending on the number of people, the distribution process will take between 3-24 hours. In order for the plugin to serve smoothly, the OWA plugin must have access to GEODI.

Now our classification plugin can also be used in Outlook, which we access through the browser

OWA plugin for On-prem Exchange is not opening for sending emails:

titleAdd-in did not activate in OWA e-mail users.

There may be several reasons.

  1. Is the GEODI server running?

  2. Before creating the manifest file, make sure the GEODI URL address in the UI is correct. Otherwise, repeat the installation.

  3. Microsoft OWA servers must see the GEODI server. If you are using Exchange Online, the GEODI address must be public.

  4. SSL must have been defined for the GEODI address. Be sure that SSL is defined and that it is not expired.
