I’m working on a web application that will list and serve the files in a particular directory within our organization. This directory is not on the Domino server due to space concerns. I would like to have just a single (Domino) login to the website rather than set up another web server with it’s own security. Is this possible? Does anyone have any guidance?
Here is what I have tried:
I set up a Domino agent to read the directory and create url links to the files.
I have created a URL Mapping/Redirection as follows:
URL → Directory
Site Information Tab is blank
Incomming URL String: /projects
Target Server Direcotry: \storevault\shared\jobs
Access: I have tried both Read and Execute, but I think Read is correct
Is there something I am missing here? I’ve created an application like this before and it worked fine, however that was on an intranet and I was not the admin for that site so i didn’t set up any of the rules. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
If I remember right (and Willy will beat me for spreading wrong info without doing propper research first) you cannot simply create a URL mapping to any arbitrary folder on the server’s hard disk. Stuff must reside in the data or html directory.
I have gotten this to work before. I wish I could post a link to an example, but it is on an intranet site. Perhaps that is the difference - maybe i set it so that the links were to the UNC path of the file instead of served up over the web… hmmm I’ll have to go back and check that.
But the problem remains. We have a network storage device with a terrabyte of space. Our domino server has considerably less. Serving these files from the /html directory of the domino server is just not an option, but I would like to use the domino login to access these files. Is there any way to accomplish that?
