How to restrict R7 Web Access to a specific group of users?

Hi,We have setup Domino web access in the company. We would like to restrict certain group of users, e.g. sales dept only able to access to the web mail from Internet.

I could not block the the entire http using the firewall, may I know is there any settings or any way using ACL to achieve the objective?

Please advise. Thanks!

Regards,

Hi Steve,

there are a number of options you have, depending on your specific needs.

Don’t allow anonymous access to http in the first place (set in the internet site settings) and then clear the HTTP passwords of the users who shouldn’t use http

Set the property "Don’t allow URL Open on the user’s mailboxes

Let the users authenticate against a proxy server and deny access if they are not in the respective group

These are the options that come to my mind instantly. Probably there are more.

Hi,

Try access control in " redirct " database in your server. Specify access only to the group you want to give access to come through the web vise versa.

Subject: Use ACL in Redirect.nsf

I added a group to the ACL of the redirect.nsf on my Webmail server to do this.

If you use the “Set ACL” button in the Redirect.nsf, it will set Default to “Author”. Changing the Default setting to No Access, and adding a group containing my webmail users with Author access.

Users not in the group get a “You are not authorised to perform that operation” error message when they try to log in. Group members are successfully redirected to their iNotes mailbox.

I did this using Domino 8.5.3, but I am sure it will work with other releases.

Thanks.
