Is there anyway to setup a link on a webpage to “automagically” complete the URL needed for a user to get in or perhaps prompt the user to enter in their information. For Example, a user surfs to the companies main webpage and at the bottom is a link to connect to the iNotes Web Access server. They click it and it takes them to the “correct” url (ie, http://mail.blahcompany.com/mail/username.nsf) where username is their mail file. Obviously at this point they would be prompted to sign in using their login information stored in thier ID file on the server… I know I could set it up with VBScript on the page or something but just looking for a possible easier way that’s already been done…

There’s a couple of different ways to do this - I use the Web Mail Redirect template in the Sandbox, or you can use the template that now ships with the Server (iwaredir.ntf)HTH

I downloaded the WebMail Redirect from the sandbox and configured it. Works like a charm!!! Thanks everyone!

The new template works great. If you want a slightly simpler implementation and don’t mind customizing the Domino Directory you could also simply add a new view to the Directory that has username as the first column and path to mail file as second column. On you web application force the users to authenticate first and then just look up the path using @dblookup and create the URL. I used this in the past with great success. The person docs already have the path information on them so this should be a no brainer.
