Can we regulate (block/allow) web/http access by user/group?

Is there a method to block/deny access to web/http (or other internet protocols) for specific users/groups?

Hello @Duco Bergsma

You can follow the steps given below:

1. Create a access group or multipurpose group and then add it to ACL of iwaredir.nsf and domcfg.nsf and applied noAccess in ACL of these databases.

2. Enable the Don't Allow URL Open setting in Database Properties > Basics tab.

1. will only block access to default webmail route; not to other dbs that might be directly referenced per url

2. will block db for legit users

Hello
I think it can be done in the way described in the following community response.

set the users and/or groups at "Not Access server" of The Server document. Thanks

This will block NRPC server access as well

Hello Duco,

This is an enhancement and currently you can't block internet protocols (http/pop3/imap etc) access to some specific users/group as these protocols are enabled on the server for all users. You can't restrict these services to specific users/group.

You may try the below workaround for http access.

**If you are using Traveler in your environment I hope these users/group will be restricted to access the Traveler service.

You can set the Domino directory ACL Default access to "Reader" and change these users internet password in the person document as per your requirement. You may utilize an agent to achieve it multiple person documents.

Make sure there is no security setting policy for these users which allows updating internet password when their Notes ID password is changed.

Along with this you can also set internet lockout feature so that if user has tried to access the http service with wrong password users internet access will be locked out.

You can define which users or groups are allowed or denied access to Domino as described here:

Setting up Notes user, Domino server, and Internet user access to a Domino server (hcltechsw.com)

you can use firewall rules to block specific users or groups from accessing certain protocols.
