I have a userbase that is used to using iNotes, and want to have them start using a db app which includes remotely. I have seen some mention in my research about iNotes making this possible through quicklinks, but haven’t found doc on how to actually make this happen.
Is this really possible? Would this mean that they would be accessing the db app with the user login used to access iNotes (that’s the security model I’m looking for)
Thank you all in advance!!

I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for here, but some things you could do are:
Have iNotes users use browser access to other Domino applications with the same ID and password.
Use LTPA tokens (or another SSO method) to permit iNotes users to access applications on other servers (Domino, Websphere, perhaps others) without having to log in again.
If you provide some more details of the “db app” you plan to use, people may be able to come up with more specific advice.

Hi Rupert,
Thanks for the reply. I want them to be able to access a message board app, without opening up the entire Domino data directory to web access. Right now they have iNotes access remotely and that’s it.
Thanks!!

Your server’s data directory is already “open”. Database ACLs will control which apps the users can access via the web.

Hi all,
I must be missing something. Previously using admin client I saw that “Allow HTTP clients to browse databases” was set to No. However iNotes was able to server mail databases.
Setting this to yes allows me to server the bulletin board db like I want. However this also allows access to all the other db’s in the data directory. I could change the ACL on all of them to prohibit access but I’d like to not serve those in the first place. That is, I don’t know the landscape of all the db’s in the data directory.
Is there a way to serve only that bulletin board db, and not serve the whole data directory?
Thanks all!

Yes, you can give your iNotes users access to any other Domino apps on the same server just by configuring the ACL for those apps. Equally, you prevent them from getting access by configuring the ACLs.
