Require SSL connection seems to be broken with Lotus iNotes in Domino 8.502/26/2009 06:58 PM
If your users are using Lotus iNotes to access their email from PCs located at insecure network locations you surely want to encrypt at least username and password.This can be done by checking the database property "require SSL connection" on domcfg.nsf which holds (by default) your login form. This is all fine but once authenticated your users may change the URL from https back to http for whatever reason. I tried to prevent that by checking the same property "require ssl connection" on the users maildatabase but ...
... guess what, all you see is a page that tells you Lotus iNotes is loading - forever.
I am expecting to be redirected to SSL as with other databases. Another tests shows the problem is with iNotes only because if I use mail/mydatabase.nsf?OpenDatabase&ui=webmail my browsers is happy to redirect me to a secure webmail interface.
I tried to workaround the problem by requiring SSL also on Forms85.nsf but it does not fix it either.
Anybody seen that before? Any suggestions other than contacting Lotus Support?
