SECURITY

Setting up basic name-and-password authentication
To enable basic name-and-password authentication, for both TCP and SSL, for all Internet protocols: Web (HTTP); IMAP; POP3; LDAP; SMTP Inbound; and IIOP, you must complete three separate procedures:
To enable basic name-and-password authentication for Internet Site documents

Note Be sure the option for the use of Internet Sites is enabled in the Server document.

1. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration - Web - Internet Sites.

2. In the Internet Sites view, select the Internet Site document for which you want to enable name-and-password authentication.

3. In the Internet Site document, click Security.

4. Save the document.

To enable basic name-and-password authentication in the Server document

Note Be sure the option for the use of Internet Sites is not enabled in the Server document.

1. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration, and open the Server document.

2. Click Ports - Internet Ports. This displays four tabs: Web, Directory, Mail, and IIOP. Each tab lists protocols appropriate for its name -- for example, the Web tab lists HTTP/HTTPS, and the Mail tab lists IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.

3. Click the protocol for which you want to specify name-and-password authentication. For each protocol, do the following:

4. Save the document.

Note If you want LDAP clients to access the server using name-and-password authentication, you must also allow anonymous access for LDAP on the server as well. LDAP clients who access the server using a browser supply an e-mail address for authentication, and the client searches for the address anonymously before Domino can authenticate the user.

For information on setting up anonymous access, see the topic Setting up Internet/intranet clients for anonymous access.

To create Person documents for Internet/intranet users

1. In the Domino Directory, create a Person document for each user who needs to access the server. (You can also edit the Person document of an existing user.)


2. In each Person document, complete these fields, and then save the document:
FieldAction
First name, Middle initial, Last nameEnter the user’s first name, middle initial, and last name. The user's last name is required.
User name(Required) Enter the user’s full name. This is the name the user enters when trying to access a server.

This field can contain multiple names. As Domino uses the first name in this field to validate a user in database ACLs, design access lists, groups, and File Protection documents, the first name in this field should be the user's Domino distinguished name (DN). The second name should be the common name (CN) portion of the DN.

For example, this field can contain these names:

  • Alan Jones/Sales/Acme
  • Alan Jones
  • Al Jones
  • AJ
When prompted for his name and password, the user can enter "Al Jones" as his name. However, Domino uses "Alan Jones/Sales/Acme" to validate him in database ACLs and design access lists. Therefore, the name “Alan Jones” must be the one that appears in ACLs and design access lists.

Note You should always use the user's hierarchical name -- for example, Alan Jones/Acme/US -- to help eliminate ambiguous or duplicate user names.

Internet password(Required) Specify the user’s Internet password.

To edit database ACLs

After you edit the Server document and create Person documents, edit the database ACL of each database to which you want to give users access.

For more information on setting up a database ACL, see the topic Configuring a database ACL.
