I have enabled the SSL on an 6.5.4 Dominoserver for webmail users and its working fine. The webmail users are redirectered to the mailboxes by the iwaredir.nsf.
Now I have a database on the same server that I would enable for anonymous access without the loginwindow.
How should i configure the server to get this to work properly?

we have done this with a multihomed server. DWA has it’s own IP address. we set this up before internet site documents were introduced. I currently don’t know if there is a way to do what you are asking via internet site docs or not but may be worth investigating.

I don’t see what this has to do with SSL. Could you explain in more detail?
Subject: RE: Both HTTP and HTTPS access to the same server
you are right, I only need the https for the mailboxes, for anonymous access to the application we could use http or https.
The main thing is to get the loginfunction for the users access to the mailboxes, and no loginfunction for accessing the application on the same server.
When the users access the server with the URL http://webmail.domain.com the loginwindow is popping up automatically as it should.
Now I need to get the access to http://webmail.domain.com/database.nsf to not ask for an login at all.
Any hints?

It all depends on how you’ve set up your web site.
If you don’t use web site documents and have set your server’s web security settings to not allow “anonymous authentication” (neither through http nor https), there’s about nothing you can do. If you want the strongest restrictions for web mail access AND anonymous access to another application on the same server, this will only be possible if you configure multiple web sites through web site documents. This will allow you to configure domino web engine and security settings per site independently. However, it would also mean that you had to use (and register in DNS) different host names.
If you only have one web site (either one web site document or none at all) and did not forbid “anonymous authentication”, anonymous access to database.nsf should work immediately, if ACL and design element security are set appropriately for anonymous.

ok, I will use web site documents and register a different host name for the application for anonymous access.
Thank you very much!
