Setting up web access

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I am working with a client that has Domino 6.5 installed on an AS/400 iServer.

I verified port 80 access is setup on the server. If I go to IE, and enter http://servername/ it pops up showing Server Login and shows the Username and Password prompts. IE shows http://servername/home.nsf yet there is NO home.nsf file on the filesystem. How is THIS possible?

Anyway, if I enter an incorrect username and password, it says Invalid username and password. If I enter correct info, after about 3 seconds, it gives a standard HTTP 404 error looking for:

http://servername/names.nsf?Login

How do I fix the configuration with Administrator to make it so that when people login with their Internet username and password, their mailbox Inbox comes right up?

Important side note…if I enter http://servername/mail/mailfile.nsf it DOES open perfectly the Inbox and give me access. (Side note 2, if I enter someone elses mailfile.nsf it opens, isn’t that a big security hole???!)

So, based on all this, how should I efficiently proceed to solve this problem?

Thank you.

Subject: Use Domino Web Access Redirect database

Domino Web Access users can access their mail files using Domino Web Access Redirect. With Domino Web Access Redirect, users do not need to know the name of their mail file and mail server, they need only know the name of the Domino Web Access Redirect server. Domino Web Access Redirect uses Domino authentication methods to redirect a user’s browser to their mail file based on their username/password. Setting up Domino Web Access Redirect

Domino Web Access Redirect is included as a template IWAREDIR.NTF in the Domino data directory. To set up Domino Web Access Redirect:

  1. Create a database from the IWAREDIR.NTF template.

  2. In the Notes client, open the database that you created.

  3. Click Setup and follow the prompts to set up Domino Web Access Redirect.

Note When selecting MailServer as the Redirection Type under Server Settings, the common name of the Domino mail server must be the same as its fully-qualified TCP/IP domain name. For example, if the mail server field in the Person document is set to serverA/domainA, the server’s TCP/IP fully-qualified domain name must be serverA.lotus.com.

Using Domino Web Access Redirect with portal views

If you have enabled Personal Options for users to display Domino Web Access in portal views, you should also enable the Logout and Offline buttons in the portal views using the following NOTES.INI variables:

iNotes_WA_PortalLogout=1

iNotes_WA_PortalOffline=1

Using Domino Web Access Redirect

To use the Domino Web Access Redirect:

  1. Launch the browser.

  2. Enter the URL of the Domino Web Access Redirect server (for example server.acme.com).

  3. When prompted, enter your user name and password.

Using the new DWALoginForm

To use the new DWALoginForm, you must have created a Domino Web Server Configuration database.

  1. Open the Domino Web Server Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF).

  2. Click Add Mapping.

  3. Change the Target Database to your Domino Web Access Redirect database.

  4. Change the Target Form to DWALoginForm.

  5. Save & Close.

You are now ready to use the new DWALoginForm.

Subject: HELP - Getting Double Login?

I have the database set up… and I have a link on our intranet that reads as follows:http://ourservername/inotesredir.nsf?OpenDatabase

I click this link and get a login screen.

I log in.

I get ANOTHER login screen.

THEN I get my iNotes mail ???

I am thinking this is NOT the way it’s meant to work?

Subject: We have only one server running and…

and the redirect database is on the same server as the mail files… we only have one server running at this time. Our setting on the server doc under Domino Web Engine is set to “Single Server” . I thought this was ok?

Subject: RE: Should be fine. I have not seen this problem before.

I have 3 servers, ServerA, ServerB and ServerC.

I would like Server B to use the webmail redirect facility and automatically redirect users to their home servers from the person document.

I have created a database from iwaredir.ntf and changed the mapping home url which is fine.

I believe I want the Mailserver/Homeserver option from the server settings.

I have added ‘mail’ to the force the path field (as all of the server mail files are under the mail\ path).

The Http host name setting on each server is currently blank. I have checked that each servers name (e.g serverA/uk/acme) corresponds with the fully qualified internet host name (e.g serverA.acme.co.uk)

I am unsure what to enter into the valid TCPIP domain for mailserver field ???

Thanks for your help !!

Is there a way to modify this database to allow the user information to come from a LDAP directory server?

This seems to only work with the Domino Directory Server.

Thanks!
