Locations and accounts
This topic describes connections to servers, ways to connect to servers, and things you should know before setting up a server connection.
- Getting started with Locations and Accounts
  When connecting to servers, Notes® uses Location documents and Account documents to configure those connections. A Location document contains information that Notes needs, in order to manage your connections whenever you change the way you're connecting to servers; for example, your Home location may use remote access software in your operating system to dial your Internet server, while your Online location assumes that you're connected to a LAN. An Account document contains information, such as user name and password, for an Internet connection such as Internet mail.
- Locations and Accounts quick reference
  This quick reference card is a list of instructions for common tasks and shortcuts for Notes locations and accounts , which you can print and keep at your desk for easy reference.
- Working with Locations, Accounts, and Connections
  You set preferences for your Location, Account, and Connection documents that provide the information needed by components to connect to servers. Preferences enable you to create, edit, or delete certain Location, Account, or Connection documents.
- Advanced Locations and Accounts topics
  Learn to do additional tasks with Location, Account, and Connection documents, such as customizing Location settings, enabling Java applets in Notes, and using iNotes to access your Notes mail from the internet.
  - What are the options for editing Connection documents manually?
    In a Connection document, you can click the Advanced tab and specify additional server connection options.
  - How can I customize location settings?
    You can click the Advanced tab in a Location document and customize the location you are editing, for example to use a different User ID from other locations, allow multiple users for Contacts, use different bookmarks or subscriptions, or manage Web retrievals and Java™ applet security differently.
  - How can I enable Java applets in Notes?
    HCL Notes® lets you run Java™ applets -- simple programs added to many Web pages to create interesting effects. To run a Java applet, the Web page's server must access your system, which can present a security problem. You can give access to Java applets on a server-by-server basis. This method of access control works well in a corporate intranet where you want to give open access to internal servers while limiting access to external servers.
  - Sharing a computer with other users
    Notes® multi-user installation and the Notes roaming feature complement each other. If you want to share a computer with other users in your organization, ask your administrator which computers have Notes multi-user installed on them.
  - How do I configure advanced TLS settings?
  - How do I configure advanced web retriever and log settings?
    You can set how many parts of a Web page HCL Notes® retrieves at the same time. For example, you can set Notes to retrieve text, images, and video all at once, instead of one at a time.
  - How can I configure advanced MIME settings?
  - How can I use iNotes® to access Notes® mail using a browser?
    If your administrator sets up your HCL Notes® mail to use HCL iNotes®, you can read and work with Notes messages using a Web browser in addition to, or instead of, the Notes client software.

Table 1. Advanced server connection options
Field	Information to enter
Only from Location(s)	The location(s) where you want to use the server connection. Use a wildcard (*) to represent all locations.
Only for user	User name(s) if more than one person uses Contacts. Separate names with a semicolon. Use a wildcard (*) to represent any user. Note: It's better to install the multi-user version of Notes® than to share a local Contacts file.
Usage priority	Click Normal or Low. Notes® uses the priority to determine the order in which it uses server Connection documents when trying to connect to a server. If this document is Low, any other documents for the same server with Normal specified will be used first.
Destination server address (Network connections only)	The server's network address.
Login script file name (Dialup connections only)	The name of the script file you want to acquire with the server connection. For information about using script files to connect to servers, see your Domino® administrator.
Login script arguments fields (Dialup connections only)	Up to four arguments to pass to the specified script file.
Only to servers in domain (Dialup connections only)	The name of the domain you want to limit the server connection to.
