SECURITY
You can use name-and-password and anonymous access with TCP/IP and SSL. Name-and-password and anonymous access with TCP/IP are described below.
This section also applies to Web clients who are accessing a Domino Web server for which session authentication has been enabled.
Note The Domino Web Server Application Programming Interface (DSAPI) is a C API that you use to write extensions to the Domino Web server. Using these extensions, or filters, you can customize the authentication of Web users. For more information on DSAPI, see the Lotus C API Toolkit for Domino and Notes. The toolkit is available at www.lotus.com/techzone.
How validation and authentication works
This example describes how a client (Andrew) uses TCP/IP to connect to a server (Mail-E).
1. Andrew tries to access a database on Mail-E.
2. The server checks the Internet Site document (or Server document) to determine if anonymous access is enabled for TCP/IP. If it is, then:
For users who do not have Person records, and instead have their records in a secondary LDAP directory, the user's LDAP name might appear on the ACL. To allow access to the user, the ACL should include the user's LDAP name (unless the user's name is being mapped to a corresponding Domino name by Directory Assistance, in which case the Domino DN should appear on the ACL).
