Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help - Using a proxy server to connect the Web Navigator to the Internet

WEB SERVERS

Using a proxy server to connect the Web Navigator to the Internet
You can set up the Web Navigator to connect to the Internet through a proxy server instead of using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect directly to the Internet. If you don't specify a proxy, you must use a direct Internet connection to access the Internet.

1. Make sure that:

The proxy is set up to connect to the Internet.
The Web task is running on the server.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

3. Expand the Server section and click All Server Documents.

4. Open the Server document for the Web Navigator server.

5. Click the Ports - Proxies tab, complete these fields, and then save the document:

Field Enter

HTTP proxy The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access HTTP pages.

FTP proxy The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access FTP pages.

Gopher proxy The name or IP address of the proxy and the port to access Gopher pages.

SSL Security proxy The name or IP address of the proxy and the port you want to go through for pages on Internet servers that use SSL.

HTTP Tunnel proxy Do not enter a value.
This field is used to send Notes remote procedure calls (NRPC). NRPC is the architectural layer of Notes and Domino that control services such as replication and mail. The Web Navigator does not use NRPC for communication.

SOCKs proxy The name or IP address of the proxy and the port.
If you enter a name or IP address in both the SSL Security proxy and SOCKs proxy fields, Domino uses the SSL Security proxy.
If you enter a name or IP address in both the HTTP proxy and SOCKs proxy fields, Domino uses the SOCKs proxy.

No proxy for these hosts and domains The names of the hosts and domains you want to access without going through the proxy. You can bypass the proxy to access certain domains on the Internet or to access your internal intranet domain.
Do not enter the IP address in this field; you must use the name. Separate multiple entries with commas or returns. You can use wildcard (*) characters, for example, *lotus.com or www.*.com.

6. Complete the procedure "Editing the Server document for the Web Navigator."

Editing the Server document for the Web Navigator

1. Make sure that you already set up the connection between the server and the Internet. If necessary, use a proxy to connect the server to the Internet.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

3. Expand the Server section and then click All Server Documents.

4. Open the Server document for the Web Navigator server.

5. Click the Basics tab. Open the Server Location Information section and go to the Servers section. Complete the InterNotes server field, and save the document.

Field Enter

InterNotes server The hierarchical name of the server running the Web task. This is the default server to use if the InterNotes server field in the user's Location document is blank.

6. Complete the procedure "Setting up users to use the Web Navigator."

7. Restart the Web task on the server.
