Domino Web Access
hi.
i want to add a server (which will be placed on a DMZ) to provide web access to mail, calendar etc. for roaming users.
i’ve read the “iNotes Web Access Deployment and Administration” and “Domino Web Access 6.5 on Linux” redbooks. but there are still some issues that need some clarification. will i have to setup a replication of the mail databases between the two servers, and if so, how often should they replicate?
i don’t want to run SMTP on the DWA server (as i want all mail to go through the mail gateway), but will i have to run POP3 for the clients or is HTTP sufficient?
the main domino server is running R6.5.3FP1.
regards.

Your “frontal” Domino DWA server must of course share names.nsf with the “principal” server for authentication. You must also replicate the mail bases but not necessarily all of them. The frontal should run only HTTP for DWA but I suggest you run HTTPS for more security because the DWA users log with the Internet password and it’s not very safe. You can also run POP3 or IMAP if your clients use some programs like outlook express but it’s not needed for DWA. Don’t forget to create a DWA redirect base to be able to log in with URL like : https://mydomain.com/direct.nsfYou might also set up a “virtual office” using the “teamroom” model, it’s a nice added value to your frontal.
