Lotus Document Viewer

Portal Express, Version 6.0
Operating systems: i5/OS, Linux, Windows

Lotus Document Viewer

The Lotus Document Viewer portlet displays content from another portlet, such as Lotus Notes View or My Lotus QuickPlaces, that is on the same page of the portal. If both Lotus Notes View and My Lotus QuickPlaces are present on a page, they can use the same instance of Lotus Document Viewer to display their content.

Examples of the Lotus Document Viewer portlet appear among the Domino and Extended Products Portlets on the Domino Integration > My Team and Domino Integration > My Databases pages of the portal.

For information about working with the Lotus Document Viewer portlet, see the Help that is available from the portlet title bar.

Use the Lotus Document Viewer portlet

The Lotus Document Viewer portlet displays information stored in a Notes database on a Lotus Domino server that is set up to work with WebSphere Portal Express.

Portlet security

By default, the Lotus Document Viewer portlet supports single sign-on (SSO), with an LTPA token, giving the user access to both the Lotus Domino server that has been set up for use with Collaborative Services, and the Notes database that is the source for data displayed in the portlet, based on the identity (name and password) the user types to log in to WebSphere Portal Express.
