About manual mode

In this mode messages are created directly in Cryptshare.nsf. There are three ways to manually create a Cryptshare message:

  • Using the Cryptshare SmartIcon in the Icon Bar "Universal" or "Edit". The SmartIcon opens a form which looks similar to the "Memo" form of HCL Notes.

  • Using a bookmark, tile or link. A click on any of these opens a form which looks similar to the "Memo" form of HCL Notes.

  • Use the Cryptshare subform in the email template of your personal mailbox.

Please check the policy settings of your Cryptshare Server to make sure to allow uploads for the same group of users there as in the CS4N settings.

Advantages

  • No need to set up server-side rules that might eventually collide with other third-party products.

  • User can decide individually which messages should be sent via Cryptshare.

  • Access can be granted using the features of the CS4N admin interface.

  • Plausibility checks according to the rules in CS4N can be run immediately when creating an email message.

  • Using the widget, attachments can be moved from existing HCL Notes documents to Cryptshare messages via Drag & Drop.

  • Existing messages can be forwarded or responded to securely.

  • The sent message can be stored in the sender’s personal mailbox.

  • Messages of any size can be delivered regardless of restrictions for the mail-box size or the message size that may exist on the recipient’s side.

Disadvantages

  • Cryptshare.nsf may take a large amount of disk space depending on use.

  • You should run the HCL Domino "compact" task against Cryptshare.nsf on a daily basis.

  • The Cryptshare messages are bypassing the standard Domino email routing procedures. You may want to adjust your monitoring systems to monitor Cryptshare transfers separately.

  • You need to roll out the Cryptshare SmartIcon to the users via email.

  • Installation of the Widget into the Notes Side Bar is optionally available.

  • Users might need a short training.
