USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION


Setting up a server as a passthru server
Set up a server as a passthru server to enable users and other servers to route through it to connect to a passthru destination server.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

2. Click Server - All Server Documents.

3. Open the Server document for the server that you want to set up as a passthru server, and click Edit Server.

4. Click the Security tab, and in the Passthru Use section, complete these fields and then click Save & Close:
FieldDescription
Access this serverIf this server is not a passthru destination, leave this field blank.

For information about setting up a server as a passthru destination, see the topic Setting up a server as a passthru destination.

Route through Specifies the names of the users, groups, and servers allowed to connect to a destination server through this server. When this field is blank (the default), the server does not allow passthru connections.

Enter an asterisk (*) to provide passthru access for all users and servers, even those not listed in the Domino Directory. Enter a hierarchical name with an asterisk as the common name to provide access for all users and servers certified by a particular organization or organizational unit. For example, the entry */Acme allows access to all users in the Acme organization.

Separate multiple entries with commas or semicolons.

Entries in this field are granted passthru access, even if denied general access to the server in the Server Access section of the Server document Security tab.

Cause callingSpecifies the names of users, groups, and servers allowed to use the modem on this server to connect to a remote destination server. By default, this field is blank and the server prohibits all incoming connections from generating calls to other servers. Enter an asterisk (*) to allow incoming connections from any source to initiate a call to a destination server.

Note If you allow incoming connections from any source to initiate calls, when recording the event in the Passthru Connections view of the Notes Log, Domino indicates only that the connecting client was not authenticated, rather than specifying the name of the source.

Destinations allowedSpecifies the names of the remote servers this server can connect to as passthru destinations.

By default, this field is blank and the server allows routing to all servers configured as passthru destinations. Adding entries to this field restricts passthru access from this server to the specified destination servers only.

5. Set up servers as passthru destinations.

6. Create Connection documents as necessary to connect the passthru server to destination servers that do not share the same LAN.
