Administration Manual

DWA Settings
During archive processing, a signed or encrypted message is encapsulated , or encased in its own
database, t
o keep message data intact. The d atabase with the encapsulated message is then attached to
the original message and sent to the IAP.
When the message is retrieved in DWA, it needs to be unenc apsulated for the user to view it. If you
are implementing DWA Extension, a directory must be created to temporarily store the unencapsulated
files when DWA users retrieve signed or encrypted messages from the IAP. This directory is listed in
the DWA Set
tings tab.

Temporary Work Area
This fie
ld lists the directory that temporarily stores the unencapsulated files. The
directo
ry can be on the mail server or the Proxy Gateway, if a proxy is used.
Alterna
tively, you can create a file share on an application server and map a
drive t
o the share. The share must have read/write access.
If the s
erver definition lists more than one Proxy Gateway, the directory for the
work ar
eashouldhavethesamenameandpathoneachserver.
The siz
e of the directory depends on your environment (how often users send
or rece
ive signed or encrypted messages).
Important! Always create a new d irectory for the work area, making sure the
follo
wing conditions are met:
• Do not
create a sub-directory within the operating system’s temporary
directory, or use the temporary directory for the work a rea.
• Ensure the work area refers to a drive different than the one holding user
mai
lfiles.
• For
security reasons, make sure the work area is not contained in the
Dom
ino data directory, or in any subdirectory- or director y-linked area
th
at is visible to Notes clients or bro wser users. For example, do not enter
D:
\Lotus\Domino\Data\RIM_TEMP if that is the path to your Domino
da
ta root. Do not share this directory in your network.
Us
ing Windows Remote Desktop, Telnet, or another terminal window, connect
t
o the server and issue the appropria te commands to create the directory
i
dentified in this field.

or example, on a Windows-based Domino server, enter:

KDIR RIM_TEMP
CD RIM_TEMP
MKDIR DWA
Ensure that security settings on the server allow access to the directory that
you create. On UNIX-based servers, make sure that the owner, group,
and permissions for the directory are the same as the owner, group, and
permissions for the server’s data root directory. Typically, the following
commands accomplish this:
chown domino:domino RIM_TEMP
chmod 755 RIM_TEMP
