How to specify

BrowserUseHttpForiNotes

This parameter helps to connect to an iNotes® HTTP server through a secured (https://) or a non-secured (http://) protocol.

0

If your iNotes server URL is, for example, https://xyz.company.com, you don't need this parameter. But if it's http://xyz.company.com, you will need to add this parameter to your Notes®.INI file:

BrowserUseHttpForiNotes=1

BrowserAllowiNotesMail

Use this parameter if a user does not have iNotes access. This setting is used to show/hide the iNotes icon/menu option, to prevent users from trying to use iNotes mail if their user ID is not iNotes enabled.

0

To hide the icon/menu option, set the INI parameter:

BrowserAllowiNotesMail=0

To show the icon/menu option, set the INI parameter:

BrowserAllowiNotesMail=1

NBP_UseIBMVerse

Use IBM Verse or IBM Verse™ On-Premises as your default mail client.

0

Actions like Forward and Forward as Bookmark will compose as mail using IBM Verse when this parameter is used:

NBP_UseIBMVerse=1

NEM_DIALOG_ENABLELOGS

Capture log files for focus in case of dialogs going behind the browser

0

If you encounter a problem where a Notes dialog has gone behind the browser, please add this setting to the Notes.INI file, recreate the problem, and send your console.log file to IBM:

NEM_DIALOG_ENABLELOGS=1

CopyAsTableHTMLSetting

When you copy a list of documents in a Notes view by using the option Edit > Copy As > Table, IBM Client Application Access puts the data on the clipboard in an HTML Table format. This may not then work when you are pasting the data in applications such as Microsoft Outlook.

0

Use the following options for specifying changes:

CopyAsTableHTMLSetting=0 (or default) - This will copy the table as HTML with a DocURI (Doclink icon), and when pasted will result in a loss of these link icons in Outlook. The Link icon will be available in clients that support DocURI, like iNotes.

CopyAsTableHTMLSetting=1 - This will copy as an HTML table with the text "Notes Link" in place of the DocURI (Doclink icon), and when pasted will result in an HTML table with "Notes Link" as the link text instead of DocURI.

CopyAsTableHTMLSetting=2 - (No HTML Format) Will copy as a Notes table and not an HTML table, when pasted behavior is similar to when pasted from the Standard client.

ICAA_OverrideDBRestriction

Use this parameter to override the property Don't allow open in IBM Client Application Access.

0

Use the following options for specifying changes:

ICAA_OverrideDBRestriction=0 (or default) - This will prevent delegated/functional mail from opening and cause an error.

ICAA_OverrideDBRestriction=1 - This will open delegated/functional mail within ICAA.

ICAA_RedirectFunctionalIDs

Use this parameter to open functional IDs or delegated mail.

0

Use the following options for specifying changes:

ICAA_RedirectFunctionalIDs=0 (or default) - This will open mail within ICAA.

ICAA_RedirectFunctionalIDs=1 - This will open delegated mail in a browser.

ICAA_HomePage

Assign or bookmark a particular Notes URL to open as homepage notes:home.

If you want to assign a Notes URL to open as the Home page, use this parameter. For example, ICAA_Homepage=notes:workspace will assign Workspace as the Home page.

ICAA_DisableIMSMO

Enable or Disable Outlook mail as the default mail client in ICAA.

0

Use the following options for specifying changes:

ICAA_DisableIMSMO=0 (or default) - This will keep Outlook as your default mail client if IMSMO is installed.

ICAA_DisableIMSMO=1 - This will make either Notes Web Mail or IBM Verse your default mail client, even if IMSMO is installed.

DISABLE_SERVER_HINT

Enables fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the server hint. Opening database or document links will not require a connection document.

0

Use DISABLE_SERVER_HINT=0 to enable FQDN as the server hint.
