< tell adminp process mail policy
When Adminp runs, it determines the assigned user effective policy and applies it to that user relevant
configuration profile documents. After the process is completed successfully, the desired policy settings for
the users are in effect. This application is true for Lotus iNotes only; the Lotus Notes client itself needs to run
a separate process to finish the policy update.
Location of Lotus iNotes policy related settings
Lotus iNotes specific settings are grouped together under a new tab "Lotus iNotes" in the mail policy settings
document. In the basic tab, it is to set Lotus iNotes user startup view. For example, as to forces a particular
user to use only the lite mode; to select what to enable or disable iNotes user functional areas (mail,
calendar, contacts, and so on). Other Lotus iNotes related configurations are in the Configuration tab and
Offline tab is for Lotus iNotes offline related settings. After assignment, all the settings under the Lotus
iNotes tab will modify the assigned user Lotus iNotes profile document by Adminp. Refer to section
"Extending policy settings to Lotus iNotes profile documents" below for more detail.
When implementing support for policies in Lotus iNotes, we decided to leverage the applicable existing
settings that were already used by the Lotus Notes client. In this manner, policies already in effect for Lotus
Notes client deployments can be honored for Lotus iNotes as well. This approach minimizes the effect on
Lotus Domino administrators who are already familiar with the existing policies. We honor the existing mail,
desktop, and security settings documents that pertain to Lotus iNotes. For example, we allow the user to
change mail file ownership, forcing messages to be encrypted or signed and setting the default duration for
meetings and appointments.
