LO74846: V9 WEBMAIL REDIRECT BREAKS REDIRECTION (CAUSES 404) IF OPENED WI TH ?OPENDATABASE AS A QUERY STRING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you create an IBM iNotes Redirect Database using the
  iwaredr.ntf from a V9
  server and then configure it for redirection it can cause a 404
  when
  redirecting the user to their mail file.
  When you list that database as the Home URL for the server do it
  like -
  /redirect.nsf?opendatabase
  
  You will find when you get redirected the url to the mail file
  will be like -
  
  mailfile.nsfabase
  
  which causes a 404. Removing the extraneous 'abase' will allow
  the mail file to
  be found and open.
  You can simply test this by hitting the redirection database
  using the url -
  
  https://server/redirection.nsf?opendatabase
  
  You will see the same behavior
