How to access iNotes Web Access from the Internet

Document number: 16179

 

Phase 2 of the AdmitOne Project allows users whose mail files are on PSMAIL12/PeopleSoft that also have a hardware token (picture below) to access their iNotes Web Access mail files via the Internet. If a user does not have a hardware token, iNotes Web Access or client based mail can only be accessed when connected to the PeopleSoft network.

Note: Lotus iNotes (Webmail) is currently in beta testing mode only and is not available to the general PeopleSoft population. The pilot is currently closed and is not being expanded to include additional users. Look for communications via OneVoice regarding iNotes (Webmail) in the future.

To access the iNotes Web Access mail file via the Internet:

  1. Open an Internet browser.

    The following platforms will work to access iNotes:
    • Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater using a Microsoft operating system with a Win32 platform.
    • Netscape or Internet Explorer on another platform such as Macintosh.
    • Mozilla 1.0 RC 1.

    Note: Opera will not work in any configuration.

  2. Type planetpilot.peoplesoft.com in the URL address window. If "www." is entered at the beginning of the URL, it will not work.

  3. Login Request:

    • Username: Enter the network username. This is the name used when logging into the network.
    • PIN/Token: Enter the hardware token PIN set by the user followed by the dynamic code with no spaces.
      Example:
      Wonder Woman has set her PIN to ABC; therefore, she will enter ABC234836 in the PIN/Token field.

  4. Click the Login button.

  5. Click the Go to iNotes now link when the Welcome page appears after authentication is complete.

The mail file via iNotes Web Access will now appear. Users will have full functionality of the iNotes mail features.
