Domino Web Access 7 Control over IIS Not Prompting

Hi all,

I’ve been working on this problem for a few days and cant seem to get it to work.

I currently have this setup for webmail: we have a Domino Server with the http stack set to run on port 1080, this is because I am using IIS on the frontend (on port 80).

When you connect via http://servername it prompts for a username and password, this works fine and you are then loaded into your webmail, the only problem is the error message “The installation of Domino Web Access 7 Control has been blocked or declined by the user. Do you want to use this on subsequent Domino Web Access Pages?”

Now normally this problem is in relation to a misplaced dwa7w.cab, but this is not the case because if I access my mail DB via http://servername:1080/mail/db.nsf I am prompted for my password, then prompted with:

Do you want to install this software?

Name: Domino Web Access Control 7 (international)

Publisher: International Business Machines Corporation

After selecting yes and installing the Domino Web Access Control the errors from the port 80 page go away.

How can I avoid having to make users go via the 1080 page to get the installation prompt and make it appear via the IIS port 80 based page?

Thanks in Advance!

Still cant figure this out, anyone at all had a similar problem or am I the only one?

Hi , I had the same problem and could solve it by adding this line into the UriGroup section of the plugin-cfg.xml file:

This makes IIS recognize the request and pass it on to Domino.
