Configuring IBM Traveler server
The IBM Traveler configuration settings are part of the Domino® server document. The first time that the IBM Traveler server is started, it performs any necessary configurations. You might want to perform additional configurations beyond the basics. The following topics describe additional configuration options.
- IBM Traveler server settings
You can configure a variety of IBM Traveler server settings, including server document settings and notes.ini settings. - Manually configuring the HTTP server
This topic includes a complete list of all Domino HTTP configuration changes required to successfully start and run IBM Traveler. In general it is not necessary to make any manual configuration changes to the Domino server. However, in some environments the IBM Traveler server may not have write access to the Domino server document. In this case, add NTS_AUTO_CONFIG=false to the Notes.ini file to suppress any error messages, and then make the required changes to the server document as specified in this topic. - HTTP authentication
This section provides HTTP authentication information. - Configuring the IBM Traveler High Availability Pool
Configuring IBM Traveler to use a High Availability Pool requires special configuration steps. - Setting auto sync options
You can use auto sync options to maximize the battery life of mobile devices. - Tuning performance of the server
This topic describes memory, thread, logging and other considerations for the performance of the IBM Traveler server. - Configuring ports for a partition
IBM Traveler supports running on multiple Domino partition servers on the same physical machine. The server must be configured to avoid port conflicts among the partition instances. - Securing the device connection
It is recommended that you secure the HTTP traffic to and from the IBM Traveler server. The traffic can be secured by enabling SSL for the Domino HTTP server or reverse proxy, or by using a VPN. - Converting Notes document links to web links
Notes® links that are contained in mail messages and viewed on IBM Traveler clients will now include an additional URL hotspot which points to the web address of the application server. It may be possible to open the linked application using a browser on the mobile device, similar to how applications can be opened using an iNotes® application. - Setting the external server URL
There are times when a device needs to connect to a link sent by the server. For example, downloading client files, web page URLs, and Apple encrypted mail retrieval. To make sure that the server sends an appropriate link that the device can use, you must first set the External Server URL field on the IBM® Traveler tab in the Server document. - Customizing the device configuration process for Apple
There is no additional client code that must be installed on an Apple device for it to connect to an IBM Traveler server. However, you must configure the Microsoft Exchange account on the device so that it can use Exchange ActiveSync to connect to the IBM Traveler server. Apple devices can be configured either manually or by using profiles. This topic also describes how to customize profiles (also known as .mobileconfig files) to work in your environment. - Name lookup
For IBM Traveler to function properly, it must be able to lookup user information. Depending on the type of lookup, a variety factors can change, including where the lookup is performed, what parameters are used on the lookup, and how long the results are cached. - Configuring corporate look up for devices
The corporate look up feature of IBM Traveler allows mobile users to search for and find information about other users in the Domino directory. It also allows them to find information using remote directories if directory assistance is configured. This is useful when a user must contact another person in the organization who is not in the user's local contact store. - Configuring and using out of office replies
The out of office service can be managed from your Apple, Android, BlackBerry 10, or Windows Phone device. - IBM Traveler Companion security settings
Starting with IBM Traveler Companion 2.0.5 and IBM Traveler server 8.5.3.2, there are new security settings available that control how Companion connects to the IBM Traveler server and how attachments in encrypted mails can be used on the mobile device. - Configuring the server for Certificate Based Authentication with Android devices
There are several reasons why companies may wish their users to authenticate using a client certificate. Admins can easily issue and revoke certificates using MDM solutions. There is no need for users to remember or provide credentials. And there is additional security with two factor authentication using the certificate.
