Use a SiteMinder Header for Authentication

The DominoUseHeaderForLogin and DominoLookUpHeaderForLogin parameters can be used to identify a Domino user for authentication.

• DominoUseHeaderForLogin

  Instructs the Domino Web Agent to pass the SiteMinder header value to the Domino Web Server. The Domino server uses the header data to identify a user in its user directory.

  Set this parameter to a header name. For example, if you specify DominoUseHeaderForLogin="HTTP_SM_USER", the Web Agent passes the user's login name to the Domino server.

• DominoLookUpHeaderForLogin

  Instructs the Domino Web Agent to ask the Domino Web Server if the user requesting access to a resource is unique or ambiguous within the Domino user directory. This check is useful if a user named Jones tries accessing a resource and there are several users named Jones in the user directory. If this parameter is set to no, the Domino Web Agent does no checking with the Domino Web Server.

  Default: Yes
