Manual mode (Variant 1)

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.

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 e-mail message.

  • The content of an opened email, including attachments and images, can be transferred directly to the CS4N&D application for sending.

  • When sending, the email, including its attachments, can be stored in the sender’s personal mailbox if desired.

  • Delivery of large emails to recipients is possible regardless of their email mailbox sizes and any email size restrictions on the recipient 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 e-mail 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 e-mail.

  • Users might need a short training.
