RE: Lotus Notes Server.

I asked a Notes Consultant friend of mine about this, his response follows:   From: Brad Karrfalt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, August 23, 1999 8:32 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: Lotus Notes Server. Everything he is saying is accurate, and in fact the way that he is proposing doing it is very common.  Notes-to-Notes data encryption is very strong, efficient, and reliable.  It's one of the foundation technologies of Notes in fact.  There is absoultely no benefit that I can see to double encrypting the data.  Allowing Notes to do the encrypting as part of the replication process should be much more efficient.     >X-From_: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Fri Aug 20 21:13:21 1999 >Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 16:08:46 -0400 >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Pete Goodridge) >Subject: Lotus Notes Server. >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >     Hello, > >        We have a growing number of Lotus Notes users who need remote >     access.  Currently they are dialing into our old modem bank.  One >     solution is to use our encrypted VPN and allow them access from the >     Internet. > >        Our Notes Admin guy says Notes uses 128 encryption already, and >     authenticates.  Therefore we just need to open a port for Notes to the >     server.  I could open the Notes port to the DMZ and move the Notes >     server there.  This would save the users the overhead of encrypting >     twice, since replication over a modem currently takes over an hour. > >        The other way is too leave it where it is, and do double >     encryption. > >        Does anyone have any other suggestions, or experience with type of >     set up. > >     THX, >     Pete Goodridge >     617-349-2440 >- >[To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with >"unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
