Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they know a way we can stop users connecting to our Domino servers to use their mail files on the server instead of the local replica copy they have on their PC’s?
Basically, we are trying to force them to only use their local mail replica and not access their mail servers… Therefore we want to find a way to lock them out of the domino server, but still allow their Notes Clients to replicate the data to their PC’s…
Subject: Database event code
Add code to your mail file to check if the file is being opened on the server or on Local. If not Local, either switch automatically or prompt the user to switch manually.
Subject: Restrict Users to Server Mail Files
Are there other databases on the server users are going to access besides there mail files?
If it is Mail Only then you could ensure all users have a local replica of there mail files and then implement the server ini parameter. Or as new users come along your ID would need to create the local replica for the user:
server_restricted=2 :
No new opens are allowed.
Existing opens still work
*[New to Release 6.0] Allows the Administrator to connect using remote console.
Replication will occur on a restricted server
Mail routing will occur on a restricted server
Recycling the server does not change the server state.
