USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION


Planning the use of passthru servers
Perform these steps to set up passthru servers:

1. List all the workstations and servers that need to access a passthru server. Also list the protocols that the workstations and servers run.

2. List the destination servers that the workstations and servers need to access. Also list the protocols that the destination servers run.

3. Determine where in the topology to locate the passthru server based on which workstations and servers need access and which servers are the destinations. The passthru server must run all of the protocols that the workstations and servers that access it run, as well as all of the protocols of the destination servers.


4. Determine the users and servers whose access to the passthru servers and destination servers you need to restrict. Create policy settings documents that include setup and desktop settings to prevent access to the servers.

5. List the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client users that need to use a passthru server and determine a default passthru server for each. If you have many Notes client users, create user setup policies to evenly assign them among the default passthru servers to ensure optimal server performance.
