Re: web site login: Yellow versus grey

[Tom Kreimer <tkreimer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry about the color joke Rob (and yes I know I goofed on the colors - I 
knew the right answer, but found a bad web site when I went to double 
check myself. To see a good web site, see 
http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/colour/index.html)

You might be looking for the type of "session authentication": 
Disabled/Single Server/Multiple Servers. Single/Multiple uses cookies and 
allows sessions to "time out". This uses a yellow box on a HTML login 
screen. Disabled does not use cookies, but does not time out. It uses 
pop-up box from the browser, which IE defaults to grey. 

The location of this setting depends on if you have  "Site Documents" 
enabled or not. The old way, without site documents, is in the sever 
configuration document, under Internet Protocols, on the Domino Web Engine 
page. With Site documents, it is in the "Internet Sites" view under Web on 
the configuration tab, on the Domino Web Engine page.

The Single/Multiple (yellow) is generally better because it can A) time 
out, B) show you who is logged in (TELL HTTP SHOW USERS), C) can be 
customized D) supports single sign-in across more than one server. With 
"Internet Sites", you can even mix and match the authentication types on 
the same server.

I have one domino server that when I log in to it using a browser
http://MyDominoServer/NAMES.NSF?Opendatabase&login
I get the grey screen with black bar at top, which indicates one method of 

login and I believe that it's the one that I want.  Same URL except 
different server gives me the yellow sign in, which indicates that it 
isn't quite right.  Not very technical I know.  But a die hard Notes web 
admin will know what I am talking about.  What are the steps to change 
from the yellow to the grey?
