Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring iNotes®
IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
Making Notes® links work in iNotes®
You can configure IBM® iNotes® so that users can open IBM Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes. iNotes supports Notes links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an IBM Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.

  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
    - iNotes® ultra-light mode
      The ultra-light mode of IBM® iNotes® is designed for use on a mobile device. It is also the accessible mode available on Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems (Win32) using Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later.
    - Getting started with iNotes®
      After installing and configuring IBM Notes and enabling IBM iNotes, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
    - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
      IBM® Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
    - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
      To create or enforce security settings for IBM® iNotes® users, you must create a security policy settings document.
    - Desktop policy settings supported in iNotes®
      When applied to a user, these desktop policy settings lock down the associated user preferences in IBM® iNotes®. Any existing policies previously assigned to iNotes users are enforced.
    - Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
      Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
      - Secure mail for iNotes®
        To allow IBM® iNotes® users to encrypt and digitally sign email messages, you must enable both the Encrypted mail support and the Name Resolution and Validation fields on the iNotes tab of the server's configuration settings document.
      - Adding a disclaimer to outgoing iNotes® messages
        You can add a disclaimer to outgoing IBM® iNotes® messages. A disclaimer is a denial or a disavowal of legal responsibility for the contents of the message. In some countries, not having a proper disclaimer on messages may result in fines leveled by regulatory agencies.
      - Configuring alternate name support in iNotes®
        An alternate name is helpful when a user wants to use his or her native language and character set to type, display, and look up names. For example, users can type a name in a native language and character set when sending mail. A user's primary name is recognizable to an international audience; an alternate name is recognizable to the user's native language.
      - Using browser cache management
        Use browser cache management to improve client side performance and security of IBM® iNotes® sessions on Internet Explorer by controlling which entries are stored in the cache and which are removed when the iNotes session ends.
      - Making calendar details available to all users
        You can make calendar details available to all users with settings on the server's configuration settings document.
      - Making Notes® links work in iNotes®
        You can configure IBM® iNotes® so that users can open IBM Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes. iNotes supports Notes links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an IBM Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.

Making Notes® links work in iNotes®

You can configure IBM® iNotes® so that users can open IBM® Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes®. iNotes® supports Notes® links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an IBM® Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.

Procedure

From the Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
Select the Server view and open the server document for the mail server.
Click Edit Server.
Choose the Internet Protocols tab, then the Domino Web Engine tab.

Note: If you have enabled Load Internet configurations from Server/Internet Sites documents, then the setting Redirect to resolve external links is found in the HTTP web site document, not the server document.
Add the setting iNotes_WA_OfferNotesURLInLink= to the Domino® Web server's notes.ini file and choose one of the values listed in the table.
Option Description
2 Display only Notes links. This is the default setting.
1 Display both the Notes link and the Web link
0 Display only Web links.
