Creating a pass-through connection
After you set up the pass-through and destination servers, you can set up servers to connect to pass-through servers. Creating a pass-through connection enables the server to forward requests from users and other servers to connect to a specified destination server.
Before you begin
Complete these steps to verify that the server is not configured to use a default pass-through server:
- From the HCL Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
- Click .
- Click the Basics tab and expand the Server Location Information section.
- Verify that the Passthru server field is empty.
- If the field is empty, complete the procedure to create a pass-through connection..
About this task
The pass-through connection document specifies the server to use for pass-through, but does not define how to connect to the pass-through server. If a server does not have a direct connection to the pass-through server over the LAN, you must create a separate connection document to define the path to the pass-through server.
Procedure
- From the Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
- Select the connecting server's Domino® Directory in the Use Directory on field.
- Click Server and then click Connections.
- Click Add Connection.
- Complete the following fields:
