One of the Notes database conventions is to create aliases for objects. For example, the alias might identify a resource by its Notes ID or Replica ID instead of the object name. Using aliases makes programming easier for developers because the names of the Notes resources can change without requiring code changes.
The following Domino URLs access the same resource though the resource is identified by its aliases:
Regardless of how a resource is identified, the Domino Web Agent converts all Domino naming conventions into a standard URL based on the name of the database resource. This simplifies data entry into the SiteMinder policy store.
For example, the following Domino URLs are pointing to the people view in the names.nsf database. The database and view are referred to by Replica ID and Notes ID:
The Domino Web Agent converts these URLs to a standard URL, as follows:
The following illustration shows the conversion of aliases to a named object.
