Setting up anonymous server access for Notes users and Domino servers
When a server is set up for anonymous access, Notes® users and Domino® servers do not need a valid certificate to access the server, since the server does not validate or authenticate them. Use anonymous access to allow users and servers outside your organization to access a server without first obtaining a certificate for the organization. You can also set up anonymous access for Internet/intranet users.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab, and open the Server document.
- Click the Security tab.
- In the Security Settings section, enable Allow anonymous Notes connections.
- Save the document.
- Create an entry named Anonymous in the ACL of all databases to which you want to allow anonymous access. Assign the appropriate access level -- typically Reader access. If you do not add Anonymous as an entry in the ACL, anonymous users and servers get -Default- access.
- Stop and restart the server so that the changes take effect.
