Allowing Anonymous Access to iNotes Redirect design elements while preventing Anonymous Access through Domino HTTP

 

When HTTP ports have anonymous access set to "no" like below, iNotes Redirector does not load properly, as shown in image 2 below.  This is because anonymous access is required to load 3 elements that the Redirector uses: iNotes-LoginBanner65short.gif, StylesheetLogin and Login.js.  

 

To get around this starting in Domino 8.5.2 you can set use the following notes.ini setting to allow anonymous access just to those design elements that are needed by the Redirector login page

 

Note: HTTPPublicUrls became available in 8.5.2.

 

Text in this color represents example, this should be set to the nsf name of your redirector database.  

 

If using Domino 8.5.3 or Lower version of the IBM Redirector ini should be set like this:

HTTPPublicUrls=/iNotesRedir.nsf/iNotes-LoginBanner65short.gif:/iNotesRedir.nsf/StylesheetLogin:/ iNotesRedir.nsf /Login.js

 

 

If using Domino 9 or Later version of the IBM Redirector  ini should be set like this:

HTTPPublicUrls=/iNotesRedir.nsf/IBMLogo.gif:/iNotesRedir.nsf/StylesheetLogin:/iNotesRedir.nsf/Login.js

 

Once this ini is set restart domino and you should then see Redirector load images and login options like in Image 3.
