Hi Folks,
One of our customers would like to have access to his Mailfiles from outside… Normally we would set up an external Domino-Server (DMZ) and place the replicas of his Mailfiles on the Server.
But I heard, that there are several security-issues with an external Domino-Webserver with HTTP enabled.
Are there any solutions for not having to install an external Domino-Server?
Like a Mapping, another Software…
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Michael

Why not consider using a reverse http(s) proxy and of course use https for all connections.

Hi,
Thank you, I did some research after your post and we now use a Apache reverse proxy.

You could connect directly from the Notes client to the Domino server by opening port 1352 on your firewall. In the Notes client you create a connection document (in the local names.nsf) that specifies the server’s public IP or public DNS name as the route. Another option would be to use a pass-through server for this, which gets a little more complicated. Check the Administrator help for more information on that.
I would be interested to know what kind of security issues you are talking about. There are a lot of Domino web servers out there and I’ve never heard of any widespread problems with the security.
