MAIL

Using Domino Web Access Redirect to access mail in Domino Web Access
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 user name and password.

During setup, you can enforce SSL security for anyone using DWA Redirect to open their mail file in one of two ways. You can enforce SSL for the entire session, or enforce SSL only for authentication, after which the user is switched back to non-SSL. You can change the SSL port number, if it is not the default 443.

Setting up Domino Web Access Redirect

The Domino Web Access Redirect template (IWAREDIR.NTF) is 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 If you select "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 use the following NOTES.INI variables so that the Logout and the Offline buttons display in portal views. Also note that offline is required for local archiving in portals.
