About this task

• Create an Internet Site document for the Internet protocol for which you want to require a name and password, or edit the Server document to specify which Internet protocols require a name and password.
• Create a Person document for each user in the Domino® Directory on the Domino server and assign an Internet password to each user. It should be noted that users can be located instead in an external LDAP directory that is accessible to Domino through Directory Assistance.
• Edit server database ACLs to give users access.

Procedure

1. Make sure the option for the use of Internet Sites is enabled in the Server document.

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

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

4. In the Internet Site document, click Security.

• If you want clients to use name-and-password authentication when they connect using TCP/IP, select Yes in the Name & password field in the TCP Authentication section.
• If you set up SSL on the server and you want clients to use name-and-password authentication when they connect using SSL, select Yes in the Name & password field in the SSL Authentication section.

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

Procedure

1. Make sure the option for the use of Internet Sites is not enabled in the Server document.

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

3. 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.

• If you want clients to use name-and-password authentication when they connect using TCP/IP, select Yes in the Name & password field in the TCP/IP section.
• If you set up SSL on the server and you want clients to use name-and-password authentication when they connect using SSL, select Yes in the Name & password field in the SSL section.

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 email address for authentication, and the client searches for the address anonymously before Domino can authenticate the user.

Procedure

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.)

Note: Users can also be created in secondary Domino directories or external LDAP directories, if your server is configured to use them.

Table 1. Person document fields

Field	Action
First name, Middle initial, Last name	Enter 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/Renovations 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/Renovations 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/Renovations/US -- to help eliminate ambiguous or duplicate user names.
Internet password	(Required) Specify the user's Internet password.

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.
