Apple device security

There are special considerations to be aware of when securing the Apple Mail client or the HCL Verse® client.

Apple Mail authentication

HCL Traveler relies on the Domino® infrastructure (HTTP and Admin Client) to authenticate the user. The authentication credentials can be one of the user's allowed Domino® name formats, along with the user's HTTP password, or it can be something defined with the Directory Assistance database. All devices use HTTP basic authentication, so HTTPS is recommended for security reasons unless using a VPN or a secured network.

HCL Verse authentication

HCL Verse relies on the Domino infrastructure (HTTP and Admin Client) to authenticate the user. The authentication credentials can be one of the user's allowed Domino name formats, along with the user's HTTP password. These credentials are stored securely at the client.

Account information and passwords

Apple Mail Mail, Calendar, and Contacts are controlled with the single Exchange ActiveSync account. These credentials are controlled by Apple.

HCL Verse, ®Traveler Companion and To Do's store all of their credentials in the Apple iOS provided keychain.

Data storage

Apple devices provide hardware encryption. This encryption is controlled by Apple and is reported to be AES 256-bit.

HCL Traveler Companion does not persist any PIM data.

HCL Verse and HCL Notes® To Do's data is stored in a local database and secured using the Apple iOS Data Protection capabilities.
