Domino 7 iNotes (DWA) and attachments


Tags :


Ok, here is a theory, would you like to stop web access users from grabbing attachments?  It is now possible in Domino 7.  So why does someone want to do this?  From letting company data from being detached onto kiosk or home computers?  Protecting those machines against possible viruses? (shouldn't that be scanned on the way in too?)

New configuration setting prevents access to mail attachments

Use the NOTES.INI setting iNotes_WA_ReadAttachments to prevent access to an attachment in an e-mail.

Syntax:  iNotes_WA_ReadAttachments=value

Description:  Use this setting to prevent (turn off) access to attachments in e-mail. By default, any user can access an attachment in an e-mail. Using this setting prevents a users from accessing and copying sensitive information in an attachment at an unsecured workstation.

0= off (prevents access to attachments)

1= on (allows access to attachments)

Applies to:  All Domino Web Access clients

Default:  1

So how many of you have a need for this type of behavior?  Don't be shy.  Of course it had to be a notes.ini line and not on the tab for DWA in the server configuration document.
