New function for Apple Devices (Optional)
The functions listed here were added in Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1.1 and are not enabled by default. The Lotus Notes Traveler server administrator must explicitly enable these functions for them to become active. Follow the procedures outlined below to enable.
Meeting attendee invitation actions for Apple devices.
When this feature is enabled, attendees to meetings will now receive meeting notices on their Apple device and the mobile user will be able to accept, tentatively accept, or decline the meeting invitation. Using the Settings application on the Apple device, the user can enable or disable meeting notice alerts by selecting the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings and then changing New Invitation Alerts to On or Off.
To enable this feature:
- Edit the file data\traveler\cfg\NTSConfig.xml.
- In the section of the file under COMPONENT_TYPE="TrueSyncServer", add this line:
<PROPERTY NAME="AS_ALLOW_INVITATIONS" VALUE="true"/>
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the Lotus Notes Traveler server.
Limitations: This is a supplement to the limitations documented in the Information Center and is not intended to be a complete list of limitations. See the Information Center for more details on known limitations.
- From the Apple device calendar if you select the action Accept/Maybe/Decline for one instance of a recurring and there is no active meeting notice for that event, then this action applies to all instances of the meeting.
- From the Apple device if you receive a meeting notice that is an "update" notice, you are still presented with the actions Accept, Maybe and Decline. This is not expected using Lotus Notes, as an update notice should only have the option to "Add to Calendar" if you were using a Lotus Notes client. Regardless of the action that you take on the iPhone, this notice will be applied to your calendar once you take any action. If you take the decline action, then the meeting will temporarily be removed from the device but will later synchronize to the device calendar.
- Cancellation notices are processed automatically by the Lotus Notes Traveler server prior to sending the notice to the Apple device. No action is required. The notice will remain in the mail Inbox until deleted or moved to a folder.
Support for Lotus Notes Traveler Companion for Apple devices.
The Lotus Notes Traveler Companion is an application available from the Apple iTunes store that users to view encrypted email on their device. Before using the Lotus Traveler Companion, the function must be enabled on the Lotus Traveler server using the instructions below.

To enable this feature:
- Edit the file domino_data\traveler\cfg\NTSConfig.xml.
- In the section of the file under COMPONENT_TYPE="TrueSyncServer", add this line:
<PROPERTY NAME="TSS_APPLE_ENCRYPT_ENABLED" VALUE="true"/>
- Save and close the file.
- Add the following parameter to the notes.ini file for your Lotus Traveler server:
NTS_EXTERNAL_URL=http(s)://(external url used by device)/servlet/traveler
The value of this parameter should be the URL used by Apple devices to connect to the Lotus Notes Traveler server. If there is a proxy in front of Lotus Notes Traveler, then this URL will be the host name of the proxy instead of the actual Lotus Notes Traveler server. For example:
NTS_EXTERNAL_URL=https://hostname/servlet/traveler
