Hello.
I will implement the new Domino server.
Our company users want to access Domino server from their home.
Is it possible to access as follows ?
Domino 7 server ( DWA or Notes client ) <---- reverse proxy ---- Web server ( WebSphere Edge server ? ) on DMZ <-- Access from home ( web browser or Notes client )
Many IBM documents says possible to access Domino mail server by using " reverse proxy " .
I also setup WebSphere Edge server, but I cannot find which URL should be pointed from Web server to Domino 7 .
If I create "test0000" account on Domino7 , I have to point URL as "
http:// server name /mail/test0000.nsf" to access mailbox ?
We have 50 employee, I have to setup 50 reverse proxy for everyone ?
Or other ONE URL which 50 employee can access and access each mailbox or other good method ?
Domino7 userA mailbox <-- Domino7 some URL <----- reverse proxy --- Web server on DMZ <---- access from home
userB mailbox <---
Appreciate your help.
Thank you so much!
- redirection to the mailfiles from your reverse proxy
- connect every authenticated user to his/her mailfile
- Single Sign on between Websphere and Domino
What you do, is create a "rule" to point everything that looks like
http(s)://edgeserver/mail/
to your Domino server.
You can further refine this (I think in Websphere Edge too) by creating a regular expression rule
eg. if your mailfiles all have 6 characters, all uppercase, you can have this (I'm not very good with reg expressions, so change where needed :-) )
https://edgeserver/mail/[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][
You could create a separate rule per mailfile, but that's probably too much work and not really worth the hassle.
Now to have every user connect to his mailfile, you can use the redirect database that comes with Domino 7 (create a new database from template Domino Web Access Redirection database, see the help for details).
Create a rule in your reverse proxy too, to access this database (for instance http://edge/accessmymail -> (your domino server)/redirect.nsf)
Single Sign on between your Edge server and your Domino server, is done by importing the ltpa token from the websphere server into your Domino directory. You probably already have the same authentication source ? (you use Domino as authenication directory in your Websphere server ?)
cheers,
