List recent messages without using client

How can I pull the newest five messages from from my mail database without using a client?

I’m wanting to have a homepage for my users that displays their last five messages but I don’t want them to have to use the signon with the whole iNotes client unless they want to read and respond.

Any ideas? Maybe a web service or something?

Thanks,

Aaron

Oh, you want to display private information from the user’s mail file without them authenticating with the Domino server? Yeah, I suppose you could write a web service to do that. You just have to set it to run with an ID that has access to all that information in everyone’s mail file.

Of course, when you create a web service on Domino that doesn’t require authentication, then you’re just trusting the sender that they really have access to the information they’re requesting, and anybody on a network can write their own application to call a web service.

There are single sign-on solutions for Domino and various servers – Websphere + Domino has it built in, or you can look for business partner solutions.

Dear Andre,

I use Domino 6.5 to publish public web services (public because they are accessible by anonymous users). Like Aaron I am trying to get the mail entries from my inbox directly in SAP Portal (not in INOTES), I can use Domino web services without any problem from SAP Portal (as soon they are public).

I installed SSO through a MS AD LDAP, and it works fine (I can run INOTES without authentication or any other database on domino server in the same domain)

BUT I created a Java Iview (Portlet, java code) accessing a web service on a domino database having the ACL set.

In this case Java will run the web service and it seems that the SSO is not running anymore (Backend connection through java against direct connection through HTTP), I don’t really know how to access a webservice with the LDAP set (and working) through a java code, how can I send the username (from the LDAp) to the database owning the service and be sure to send the right user credentials!

Thank you for any information on the subject.

If I found the result I will post-it …
