We don't have many Windows-based Domino servers in our administrative network. Our email server for instance is running Domino 8.5 on top of a CentOS Linux.
I wanted to try out Lotus Traveler with my Nokia E65. What to do?
Install it on the Quickr server of course :-)
(Do not do this at home or while children are watching)
There really was nothing to it.
I downloaded the installation kit.
Stopped Domino.
Installed.
There was only one question in the installation process where I did something extra: I deselected the option where it suggest that the Home Page for the server should point to the Traveler "home page". That would have messed with our Quickr users.
I then started the Domino server, and that was the server-side part of it.
Then I had my Colleague with firewall-knowledge open up the TCP port 8642.
I then pointed the browser in my Nokia E65 to the Traveler home page - /traveler/index.html and downloaded and installed the software.
Finally I had to configure web-username and -password, hostname of my quickr server and what connection (WLAN in my case) to use.
To be honest, this was a bit that cost me some sweat. I had forgotten that some of the characters in my Web Password were in uppercase.
This took me some time to figure out. And when I had gotten past that issue, it started working.
I am using the email and calendar synchronization.
And it looks great. It feels like it is well integrated with the Symbian OS.
Good job Lotus!
