Accessing a remote Domino database

I'm trying to use the Notes Connector to access a remote Domino DB.

I do not want to use IIOP because I believe it to be less secure than 
native Notes RPC.

I do not want to locate TDI on the Domino server that houses the DB.

I'm happy to install a Notes client on my TDI server - but I do not want 
to replicate the DB locally to the Notes client because I would then 
need to launch Notes and replicate it before I run my TDI application.

What I want to do is use the LocalClient session type, leveraging the 
local Notes client's ID file and Domino server connection to read data 
from a remote DB.  (essentially, I want TDI to be the local Notes client 
as far as the Domino server is concerned.)

But - when I choose LocalClient, regardless of the the values I put in 
the "Server" and "Hostname" fields, the "Select"
button brings up a list 
of only the local client's DBs.  It appears that for the LocalClient 
session type, the Notes Connector is hard-wired for local DBs only and 
ignores the "Server" and "Hostname" parameters.

Is this the case, or is there a way to leverage the LocalClient to 
connect to remote server?

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

I would raise this with our Wizard of L2. If you try
pinging Lak Sri, Jason Williams or Brian Hemric (all
of Raleigh fame) then not only will you get a answer
quickly, if you share it here, we all learn something :)
