Specifying the IBM Protector server URL setting using a desktop policy

Use the NOTES.INI setting $PROTECTOR_LOCATION=URL to specify the URL that accesses the IBM Protector for Mail Security 2.5 server.

About this task

This setting supports use of an IP:PORT combination such as 9.132.50.41:4443. The setting does not support the use of an http or https URL such as https://myprotector.company.com:4443.

To locate the URL for the Protector server, see the Lotus® Protector for Mail Security 2.5 documentation under Related information.
