    Connections Server URL

    Type the URL that Notes® users need to access and work with their activities on the Connections server.

    Tip: The URL is the full Web address of the Activities feature on the Connections server, including the protocol. Add a backslash (\) before each colon. For example:

    Authentication type

    Select a form to specify the type of authentication your Connections server uses:
    • J2EE Form
