Abstract
Abstract A workflow, enterprise, and mail-enabled application server and platform supports distributed computing and remote execution of web applications. Lotus Domino Offline Services (DOLS) is used by a web site administrator to configure Internet Notes (iNotes) clients to auto download from server, thus providing iNotes clients with web access using HTTP with various browsers, and with local processing and replication. A local run time model comprises a hierarchy of models including object data store model, security model, indexing model, replication model, agent workflow model and mail model. DOLS provides a layered security model that allows flexibility for controlling access to all or part of an application. The highest level of security is managed through a database access control list (ACL). Further refinements within the security model provide access to specific documents, and their views, forms or folders, and include read access lists, write access lists, form access lists and readers and authors fields.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
The system of claim 3 , further comprising: a client download page; a download control element in said download page; said processor being activated upon activation of said download control element within said download page initiating a download process first to establish a security context and then to download program executable files.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
The system of claim 2 , further comprising: said download utilities being responsive to an SSL connection to said server for activating said dialog to advise said user that said server site has been verified as being what it represents itself to be and to query said user whether code is to be downloaded from said server site to said client.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The system of claim 5 , said code being custom code.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
The system of claim 5 , said download utilities being responsive to a connection from said client to said server being other than SSL for activating said dialog to advise said user that said server site has not been verified as being what it represents itself to be and to query said user whether code is to be downloaded from said server site to said client.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
The system of claim 7 , said code being custom code.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising: said download utilities being responsive to user acceptance of download from said server site of executable code for downloading said executable code to said client; a trace utility for identifying originators of downloaded code.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
The system of claim 9 , said trace utility selectively identifying originators of signed agents through electronic signature, of custom code traceable to code vendor through web site relationship, or custom code directly created by said web site.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising: a first trust model for establishing level of traceable accountability for a subscription at download time over a secure connection protocol; a second trust model for establishing a reduced level of traceable accountability, with traceable accountability established only for electronically signed agents used by said subscription over a connection protocol not verified as secure; and said dialogs being responsive to said trust models.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
135 words
A method for governing delivery of services and programs from a workflow, enterprise and mail-enabled application server and platform according to a web based trust model, comprising the steps of: establishing a connection protocol between a client and a web site; responsive to said connection protocol, determining a trust level assignable to said web site relative to risks taken when accepting executable download from said web site; advising a user at said client of said trust level assignable with respect to said risks to said web site; and responsive to user acceptance of said risks and accepting said server site as trusted, downloading said services and programs from a server site to separate and non-conflicting execution spaces at said user client and centrally administering security policies for said services and programs executing at said client.
