Nope. I work in a bank. I belong to a local LUG, have attended IAMLUG and know enough people that I could recommend someone.

@BruceWayne, re: “The problem now is to find ….” I could easily recommend a more than a few, if needed. There would need to be money involved, but it wouldn’t be 100s of thousands of dollars.

@Brooklynegg : I always heard that an another Address Book is a recommended and secured way to achieve it. But maybe your solution is enough ?

For “knowledgeable consultant”, it is always true in the security area. The problem now is to find it

BruceWayne: Why would they need another Address Book? Shouldn’t they simply be able to have an account made for their web-only access? Also, if they have never used http or https and don’t have experience with it, I would recommend getting a knowledgeable consultant to make sure they don’t end up opening up a security hole.

Chippy088: I don’t see any reason why querying the data a resonable number of times during a day should be a problem, assuming there aren’t 100,000 clients or some very large number in the view or web service. This would have to be tested to ensure it does not have bad effects, but I don’t think there is a reason to suspect poor perfornance. Definitely agree with you on the restricted account.

Can you pull the information from the db using a query, and then email the result to the customer.

It might get messy if you need to keep querying the db several times a day.

I also wonder, if a restricted account could be set up in notes, just to be able to view the client status? I am no expert in lotus notes, I just mentioned it as an after thought. Not having any clients who use notes, I have let my knowledge lapse.
