In this IBM Redbook, we discuss specific security and anti-spam enhancements that have been incorporated into Notes and Domino 7.0. This publication is the fourth in a series about IBM Lotus security to be published. The previous IBM Redbooks about the topic are, in chronological order, "The Domino Defense: Security in Lotus Notes 4.5 and the Internet," SG24-4848, "Lotus Notes and Domino R5.0 Security Infrastructure Revealed," SG24-5341, and "Lotus Security Handbook," SG24-7017. The primary goal of these publications was to focus on the strong security that has always been part of the family of Lotus products. The present publication continues down the path set by these previous Redbooks, offering, as with each previous release, information about key features and functionalities pertaining to the security aspects of Lotus Notes and Domino Release 7.0.x, as well as best practices to implement th

IBM Lotus Notes and Domino are designed to help organizations increase productivity and responsiveness through business-critical collaboration capabilities and a rapid application development and deployment environment.

The purpose of this IBM Redbook is two-fold. First, it shows you how to configure and integrate several Domino servers on one iSeries server to provide a set of integrated collaborative services to Web browser users. These integrated collaborative services include Domino for iSeries 6.5.1 or later, IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing (Sametime) for iSeries, IBM Lotus Team Workplace (QuickPlace) for iSeries, and Domino Web Access for iSeries Second, this redbook shows you how to take the previously configured integrated, collaborative environment of Domino, Sametime, QuickPlace, and Domino Web Access to enable collaboration within WebSphere Portal Express. This redbook is for system administrators who need to understand how to configure one or both of the following environments on an iSeries server: - How to configure an integrated, collaborative environment of Domino, Sametime, QuickPlace and Domino Web Access on an iSeries server. This redbook shows you how to configure a seamless environment using single sign-on between the Domino servers using a common Domino LDAP directory.

This IBM Redbook will help the reader plan for, install, and configure the new IBM Lotus Domino 6.5 product on an IBM eServer zSeries system running Linux. We discuss why you should consider running Domino for Linux on zSeries, and list the advantages of running Linux in a guest under z/VM . We then describe the structure of running Domino for Linux on zSeries for those who are not familiar with all of those products, and review what is new in Domino 6.5, since this is the first release that is supported on Linux on zSeries. We provide detailed technical information about planning, allocating, and managing disk space, network considerations, installing Linux and Domino, and administering Domino. We also discuss systems management, capacity planning and performance tuning, connectivity to DB2 , migration from previous Domino releases or Domino servers on other platforms, and troubleshooting. This redbook is targeted to zSeries systems programmers, Domino administrators, consultants, and service technicians. This updated version includes information from customer and IBM experiences.

This IBM Redbook helps z/OS system programmers and Domino administrators to monitor and tune Domino 6 for z/OS. It identifies factors that affect performance and provides recommendations to tune the configuration and parameter settings for optimal performance. Tips are provided for the operating system, the disk I/O subsystem, the network, and the Domino product. In addition, it includes guidelines for capacity planning. A background in z/OS and experience with Domino is assumed. This version, updated for Domino 6, includes tips on the zFS file system and new monitoring tools and techniques.

This IBM Redbook is a collection of Domino 6 related topics that are important pieces of information and are either not covered in other documents or the existing information is outdated because it applies to older versions of Domino, such as Domino V5.x. As such, the topics vary widely and range from Domino deployment, performance monitoring and tuning, to Antivirus protection. This redbook complements and updates the content of existing redbooks, for example IBM Lotus Domino 6 for iSeries Implementation, SG24-6592 and Domino for iSeries Sizing and Performance Tuning, SG24-5162-01. This book takes into account that there are two different type of Domino administrators and users: Users that come from the iSeries world and are implementing a Domino environment on their existing system with lots of iSeries experience. The other user type are experienced Domino administrators that are about to move or have moved their Domino environment to the iSeries from another platform. Part 1 of this redbook covers Domino deployment, administration, and performance monitoring and tuning. Part 2 describes the various backup and recovery methods that are available for Domino on iSeries and helps you to determine which backup and recovery strategy is right for you. Antivirus protection is also covered in part 2. Part 3 teaches you what needs to be considered when sizing a Domino environment and how to use the IBM Eserver Workload Estimator. Part 4 gives you a quickstart to use the Workload Estimator based on fictitious custome
