Setting up a server as a pass-through destination

Set up a server as a pass-through destination to enable users and servers to access it through a pass-through server.

About this task

Use IBM® Domino® configuration settings to assign a server as a pass-through destination. The following guidelines apply:
  • Access to a pass-through destination is subject to restrictions set in the server access section of the server document's Security tab. These fields define general access to the server.
  • Support for direct dialup modem (X.PC) connections is available only in releases of Domino earlier than release 8.5. You can use Domino Administrator 8.5 for direct dialup modem support only on servers running releases earlier than 8.5.
  • You can grant a user or server general access to a server and prohibit access to the same server as a pass-through destination. However, if you deny a user or server general access to a server, those users and servers cannot access the server as a pass-through destination.

Procedure

  1. From the 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 pass-through destination and click Edit Server.
  4. Click the Security tab and in the Passthru Use section, specify an Access this server value. Do one of the following. Separate multiple entries with commas or semicolons.
    • Specify the names of the users, groups, and servers allowed to access the server as a pass-through destination. When this field is blank, the server is not available as a pass-through destination.
    • Enter an asterisk (*) to provide access for all users and servers, even those not listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a certifier name provides access for all users and servers certified by a particular organization or organizational unit. For example, the entry */Renovations allows access to all users in the Renovations organization.
  5. Click Save & Close.
