Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring users and servers
Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
Domain Search
Notes® client and Web users can use Domain Search to search an entire Domino® domain for database documents, files, and attachments that match a search query.
Creating and updating the Domain Index
The indexing server relies on the Domain Catalog to tell it which databases and file systems to include in the Domain Index. You use the Server document to enable the Domain Indexer task and set a schedule for it to run. By default, the Domain Indexer task runs once an hour.
Changing the location of Domain Index files
By default Domain Index files are placed in a directory named FTDOMAIN.DI in theIBM® Domino® data directory of the indexing server.

IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
    - Understanding the Server document
      The Server document is set up when you register a server. It contains many of the settings that define how your server operates.
    - Policies
      Use Domino® policy settings to control how users work with Notes®. A policy is a document that identifies a collection of individual policy settings. Policy settings documents define a set of defaults that apply to the users and groups to which the policy is assigned. You can change policy settings and they will be automatically applied to the assigned users and groups.
    - Defining default settings for Notes® user registration
      Before you register new Notes® users, you can specify default settings that apply to all users. Default settings simplify user registration and ensure user settings consistency. You can define many default settings, such as what mail server users have or what certifier ID to use for user registration. You can also specify a default workstation execution control list (ECL) to protect data from unauthorized workstation access.
    - Managing users
      The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
    - Using groups
      Groups are lists of users, groups, and servers that have common traits. They are useful for mailing lists and access control lists. Using groups can simplify administration tasks.
    - Replicas
      You can make a database available to users in different locations, on different networks, or in different time zones, by creating replicas of the database.
    - Domain Search
      Notes® client and Web users can use Domain Search to search an entire Domino® domain for database documents, files, and attachments that match a search query.
      - Server configurations for Domain Search
        This topic describes required and optional configurations for the servers you use for Domain Search.
      - Planning the Domain Index
        Because the initial process of spidering databases and file systems and creating a full-text index for an entire Domino® domain can take days or even weeks, it is important to plan carefully before starting the indexing server. The more you have thought about what data sources should be indexed, how they should be categorized in the Domain Catalog and search form, and how much space your Domain Index requires, the less work you will have to do.
      - Creating and updating the Domain Index
        The indexing server relies on the Domain Catalog to tell it which databases and file systems to include in the Domain Index. You use the Server document to enable the Domain Indexer task and set a schedule for it to run. By default, the Domain Indexer task runs once an hour.
        Changing the location of Domain Index files
        By default Domain Index files are placed in a directory named FTDOMAIN.DI in theIBM® Domino® data directory of the indexing server.
        Deleting databases from the Domain Index
        You can delete databases from the Domain Index. You must have Manager access to a database to delete it from the Domain Index.
        Backing up the Domain Index and Catalog
        Back up the Domain Index and the Domain Catalog as often as necessary to be useful to your organization. Weekly backups are probably sufficient for most organizations.
      - Customizing Domain Search forms
        Domain Search includes several default forms, including forms for searching, specifying file systems, and presenting results. Both the search and results forms can be customized to suit organization-specific needs. An application developer can, for example, add a corporate logo to either form, or rearrange the fields.
      - Setting up Notes® users for domain search
        Notes® client and Web users can search an entire Domino® domain for application documents, files, and attachments that match a search query. Notes client users can perform domain searches as soon as you add the designated indexing server to the Catalog/domain search server field in their Location documents.
      - Setting up Web users for Domain Search
        For Web users to have access to Domain Search functionality, the indexing server, as well as all the servers being spidered by the indexer, must be set up as Domino® Web servers.
      - Using content maps with Domain Search
        Content maps let users browse for information rather than search for it using full-text search. Content maps organize documents by topics, or content, into categories.
    - Calendars and scheduling
      The calendar and scheduling features allow users to check the free time of other users, schedule meetings with them, and reserve resources, such as conference rooms and equipment.
    - Configuring Widgets and Live Text
      Widgets and Live Text enables end users to see and act on Live Text in supported documents, including IBM® Notes® mail, using XML extensions (widgets) created specifically for their use.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.
- Securing
  This section describes IBM® Domino® security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and SSL.
- Administering
  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
- Tuning
