Lotus Quickr integration with Lotus iNotes
IBM® Lotus® Quickr® has been integrated with Lotus iNotes™. To enable and set up this feature, perform the following tasks:
Enable Quickr integration

To enable this feature, use a mail policy setting "Allow Quickr Integration," which is on the Lotus iNotes - Configuration tab of the Mail policy settings document.

If you want to enable or disable this feature temporarily on a trial basis, you can use the NOTES.INI setting iNotes_WA_Quickr=1 to enable it server-wide, or iNotes_WA_Quickr=0 to disable it server-wide. Using this setting overrides any policy setting.

Set up an HTTP-proxy servlet

Set up an HTTP-proxy servlet to specify a list of sites that are allowed. To set up the HTTP-proxy servlet, edit the Security policy settings document and provide the information on the Proxies tab. If the Lotus Quickr server is in the same SSO domain as the Domino server, then an LTPA token should also be included in the list of allowed cookies. For information on setting up an HTTP-proxy servlet, see the topic in this Help "Using an HTTP-proxy Servlet to restrict URLs to external servers."

Note If you used a proxy-config.properties file to specify allowed sites in a previous release, you must set up a security policy instead. The proxy-config.properties file is no longer supported.

Set up session-based authentication

To use Lotus Quickr integration features in Lotus iNotes, you must enable session-based authentication using either single-server or multi-server authentication (also known as single sign-on or SSO) for your Domino mail server. If you configure your Domino server for SSO and the Lotus Quickr servers that you are connecting to are in the same domain, make sure the LTPA token is listed in the Proxies tab of the Security policy settings, as mentioned above. If the Lotus Quickr server is not in the same domain, users will be prompted for each session to authenticate with the servers they are connecting to.

Specify user-friendly names for URLs

To make it easier for users to add a place, you can use the "Proxy servlet name/URL pairs" Mail policy setting to specify a list of Lotus Quickr servers and assign user-friendly names for the servers. The user-friendly names then display in the iNotes user preferences for Lotus Quickr. Then when a user browses to add a place, they can browse for places by selecting from a list of user-friendly names, rather than URLs. For additional information on setting Mail policy settings, see the topic in this Help "Creating mail policy settings for Lotus iNotes users."

When browsing the Lotus Quickr servers, the list of feeds returned from the Lotus Quickr is limited to 50 by default due to performance consideration. To change the default number of feeds allowed, use the NOTES.INI setting iNotes_WA_Quickr_Feed_Page_Size and specify the number of feeds to return in the server’s NOTES.INI file.

User notes

Lotus iNotes supports the following user tasks:


If you have Lotus Quickr Connectors installed, Lotus iNotes does not support the connector's preferences and place settings. To use those place settings in Lotus iNotes, you must configure them using Lotus iNotes preferences.
