Setting up Domino Mobile Apps on-premises

Follow these steps to set up IBM® Domino® Mobile Apps if you use an on-premises mail server located at your company site.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you meet the Requirements.
  • Ask your administrator for the Domino server to connect to during setup.

Procedure

  1. Download and install Domino Mobile Apps from the Apple App Store.
  2. If your Notes® ID file is not in an ID vault on a server, make a local copy of it on your iPad. There are multiple ways to do this, but the following steps describe how to a copy it from a Mac or PC using Apple iTunes.
    Tip: See whether your ID file is in a vault: from the Notes client, click File > Security > User Security. You see the following text in the Security Basics tab when your ID is in a vault: This ID file has been backed up into vault xxxx. If you don't see this text, make a local copy of the ID on your iPad.
    1. Install iTunes on your Mac or PC if not already installed. (iTunes for Windows is available from the Microsoft Store.)
    2. Copy your ID file to your Mac or PC.
    3. Launch iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    4. Connect your Mac or PC to your iPad. If PC, use an adapter that allows you to connect.
    5. When prompted, allow the Mac or PC to access the iPad, and vice versa.
    6. From your Mac or PC, select the iPad icon:
