Accessing iNotes Data in the Portal

The iViews you created as described in Creating an iView for iNotes can be placed on any page in your portal and can be accessed by making the page part of a workset within a role. When users access the page on which one of these iViews has been placed, they are presented with a dialog box asking for their user ID and password.

Once this information has been provided, the iView redirects the URL to the .nsf file that contains the relevant user data. As long as the user remains in the portal session, the iNotes session is also valid, even if the user navigates away from this iView. However, once the user logs off from the portal session, the iNotes session is also terminated.

In the above scenario, the user has to log on to the iNotes session in addition to the portal login. However, it is possible to automatically access the Domino server using a SSO ticket.
