Domino.Doc 3.5 User's Guide - Lotus documentation - Lotus software

To set up Internet connections, you can:
• Specify proxy server connection settings.
• Specify secure connections.
Specifying proxy server connection settings
To interact with Domino.Doc users outside your intranet, you need to
specify a proxy server. Your System Administrator can provide the proxy
server information you need, including the proxy server, the port, and the
names of local servers to bypass through the proxy.
Note If you are using Domino.Doc on a workstation running Windows
NT, 2000, or XP, you must log in to the workstation using an Administrator
ID to change the connection settings in the Desktop Administrator. If
needed, contact your Domino.Doc Administrator for assistance.
Procedure
To specify proxy server settings in Domino.Doc:
1. Open the Domino.Doc Desktop Administrator.
The Administrator displays the current Domino.Doc settings.
2. From the Settings menu, choose Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
3. Click the Connection tab in the dialog box.
4. Check the option “Connect through a proxy server.”
5. Enter the name and port (server) of the proxy to use.
6. In the Exceptions box, enter the complete name (including the domain)
for each server within your own intranet.
7. Check the option “Do not use proxy server for local (intranet)
addresses.”
8. Click OK.
Specifying secure connections
If your Domino.Doc Server is enabled for SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), you
can connect to it securely. You must address the library with the HTTPS
protocol (https://myHTTPServer/librarynameLIB.nsf) to connect securely.
