Using iNotes® Redirect to access mail in iNotes®

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