Enabling Access to Mail and Calendar Applications

Both Messaging Server and Calendar Server verify the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the host where the browser requests a login session ID. If the IP address differs from the host IP address where the session ID is issued, Messaging Server and Calendar Server reject the session with a session timeout message.

You must change the value of the parameter that enables and disables an IP security check to allow the user to access mail through Portal Server. The parameter that specifies whether to restrict session access to the login IP address, is:

service.http.ipsecurity
