Using iNotes® Redirect to access mail in iNotes®

IBM® iNotes® users can access their mail files using iNotes® Redirect. With iNotes® Redirect, users do not need to know the name of their mail file and mail server, they need only know the name of the iNotes® Redirect server. iNotes® Redirect uses IBM® Domino® authentication methods to redirect a user's browser to their mail file based on their user name and password.

About this task

During setup, you can enforce SSL security for anyone using iNotes® 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 iNotes® Redirect

About this task

The iNotes® Redirect template, IWAREDIR.NTF, is in the Domino® data directory. To set up iNotes® Redirect:

Procedure

Create an application using the IWAREDIR.NTF template.
In the IBM® Notes® client, open the application that you created.
Click Setup and follow the prompts to set up iNotes® 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.ibm.com.
