  This topic describes the system architecture for HCL Nomad for web browsers, iOS, and Android.
- Nomad server on Domino

- SafeLinx as the Nomad server
  An HCL SafeLinx 1.2 or later server configured as a HCL Nomad server is required to handle communications with Nomad clients.
- HCL Nomad and panagenda MarvelClient
  The HCL Nomad management solution MarvelClient from panagenda is now provided with all installations of HCL Nomad on iOS, Android, and HCL Nomad for web browsers. panagenda MarvelClient allows administrators to manage HCL Nomad clients by defining their own settings.
- Managing HCL Nomad via an MDM provider (mobile)
  Starting with version 1.0.4 for HCL Nomad for iOS, and version 1.0.13 for HCL Nomad for Android, managed configuration via most common Mobile Device Management (MDM) providers is supported. All MDM providers are slightly different in how they implement managed configurations for applications.
- Configuring Nomad federated login
  When you configure Nomad federated login, HCL Nomad for web browser users are not prompted for their HCL Notes ID passwords when they set up Nomad. Instead, they are prompted only for credentials from a SAML identity provider (IdP) that is accessed through the Nomad server.

Setting notes.ini values

This topic describes how to configure notes.ini settings.

You can set the notes.ini via MDM (if mobile, not web), a Domino policy, or panagenda MarvelClient. The notes.ini action in MarvelClient which can be used for Nomad with just the basic MarvelClient essential license is recommended.

For information on setting the "notesINISettings" setting via MDM, see Managing HCL Nomad via an MDM provider (mobile).

For information on setting a Domino policy, see Assigning Notes®.INI settings through user policies.

For information on setting the notes.ini via MarvelClient, see this panagenda blog post.

Note: For Nomad for web browsers, notes.ini's can also be set with the following command issued from the browser's console:

jsSetEnvironmentVariable('name', 'value')

Use a value of '' to remove a notes.ini.

Note: If a notes.ini value needs to be set before any of the above mechanisms can set the notes.ini, you can modify the default notes.ini file on the server in the /wasmpreload/data/ directory (it is the only .ini file in that directory). This .ini file is gzip compressed, so you will need to undo the compression, edit the file, and redo the compression; this file applies to all new browser setups (not existing setups).
