HTTP Server for AS/400.
8.4.3 Accessing the Web Browser
In addition to the Notes Mail template (MAIL46.NTF) that ships with Domino
4.6.2 for AS/400, Lotus also supplies two additional Mail templates that allow
increased functionality to a Domino Mail file when being accessed by a Web
browser. The two templates are called WebMail (MAILW46.NTF) and
combined Mail (MAILC46.NTF).
The WebMail templates are designed for the Domino Mail user that is using a
Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or NC
Navigator. For example, these users may include a Client Access user or an
IBM Network Station user accessing Domino through the NC Navigator Web
browser.
The combined Mail template is designed for the mail user who needs to
access their Domino Mail using a Notes client and a browser. Both templates
provide access to the integrated Mail, Calendaring & Scheduling and Task
Management features provided on the Domino Mail Server.
8.4.3.1 Setting Up Web Mail for Web Users
You can set up mail for Web users on a Domino server. Web mail is a mail
database created with either the MAILW46.NTF or MAILC46.NTF mail
template. Follow these steps to setup mail access for Web users:
1. Ensure the Domino server is set up as a Web server running the HTTP
server task.
2. Ensure you have registered the user on the server and select
Set Internet
Password
to set an Internet password in the
Person Document
.
If you set a port number other than 80, the client must include a specific port
number on requests to the Domino server. The port number is preceded by
a colon and follows the host name in the URL. In this example we use port
8080 for Domino HTTP server, the URL, http://as1.mycompany.com:8080/,
requests the default page from a host named
as1.mycompany.com
that is
listening on port 8080. The AS/400 system on which the Domino server is
installed and running is
as1
.
