Configuring Lotus Domino

This task describes how to change configuration settings for Lotus® Domino®.

1. Start the Domino server.
2. Access the names.nsf file using your web browser (for example, http://tarheels2.raleigh.ibm.com/names.nsf). The browser prompts you for a password.
3. Give the administrator name and password.
4. Click Configuration.
5. Click Servers.
6. Click All Server Documents.
7. Click the server that you intend to have work with the product
8. Click Edit Server.
9. Click Internet Protocols.
10. Add the path to the Domino plug-in in the DSAPI Section.

    If specifications for filter files for the Domino Server Application Programming Interface (DSAPI) exist, use a space to delimit the web server plug-in for WebSphere Application Server.

11. Click Save and Close.
12. Define the location of the plugin-cfg.xml configuration file.

    The location varies depending on how you have configured your system. If the web server and the application server are on separate machines, you have a remote installation.

    If the two servers are on the same machine, you have a local installation.

    In the following examples, webserver1 is the web server definition name.

    

       

    Table 1. Setting the path to the plug-in configuration file . Set the WAS_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to the location of the plug-in configuration file using one of the paths in this table.

    If the type of installation is:	Then use this command to set the environment variable:
    Remote	WAS_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/config/webserver1/ plugin-cfg.xml
    Local standalone	WAS_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE=profile_root/config/cells/sa_cell/nodes/webserver1_node/servers/webserver1/plugin-cfg.xml

    The setupPluginCfg.sh file is created in two places:

    • The plugins_root/bin directory
    • The lotus_root/notesdata directory

    You can run the script from either location to set the WAS_PLUGIN_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. However, if you are re-configuring the web server, you might want to set the path yourself by setting the value of the environment variable with a path from the preceding table.

    The setupPluginCfg.sh script sets the file path value to the file path that the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool configured originally. If you are reconfiguring the web server to change the original file path, do not use this script.

    

       

    Table 2. Setting the path to the plug-in configuration file . Add the appropriate statement to your lotus_domino_root\notes.ini file.

    If the type of installation is:	Then use this command to set the WebSpherePluginCfg variable:
    Remote	WebSpherePluginCfg=C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml
    Local standalone	WebSpherePluginCfg=profile_root\config\cells\sa_cell\nodes\webserver1_node\servers\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml

13. If you are configuring a 64-bit version of the Domino Version 7 or higher web server, modify the notes.ini file to point to the plugin_root\bin\64bit/domino5.dll file.
14. Restart the Domino server.
    When the server starts, information like the following example is displayed:

    01/21/2005 01:21:51 PM  JVM: Java virtual machine initialized
    WebSphere Application Server DSAPI filter loaded
    01/21/2005 01:21:52 PM  HTTP Web Server started
