  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.
  - 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.
    - iNotes® ultra-light mode
      The ultra-light mode of IBM® iNotes® is designed for use on a mobile device. It is also the accessible mode available on Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems (Win32) using Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later.
    - Getting started with iNotes®
      After installing and configuring IBM Notes and enabling IBM iNotes, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
      - Installing and setting up iNotes®
        When you install the IBM® Domino® server, all the infrastructure is put in place for IBM iNotes®. During the server setup process of the Domino server installation process, be sure to choose Web Browsers (HTTP Web services) to enable iNotes features and functionality and register users with the Mail (R85) (MAIL85.NTF) mail template.
      - Setting up iNotes® on a server
        IBM® iNotes® provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail, as well as Notes calendar and scheduling features. Using iNotes, a user can send and receive mail, view the calendar, invite people to meetings, create to do lists, keep a notebook, and work off line.
      - Registering iNotes® users
        When registering IBM® iNotes® users, select iNotes for your mail system, and the mail9.ntf mail template. This template contains mail template support for both the iNotes client and the IBM Notes® client.
      - Providing a log-on URL for iNotes® users
        After registering your new IBM® iNotes® users, you need to provide them with information they need to access their mail files.
      - Using ID vault with iNotes®
      - Using an HTTP-proxy servlet to restrict URLs to external servers
        For IBM® iNotes® features that send requests either to external servers for external calendar overlays or to Web services (IBM Quickr® integration), you must configure an HTTP-proxy servlet to intercept calls and retrieve information from a remote site.
      - Using realm documents in iNotes®
        To resolve the issue of multiple login requests, create realm documents to map access from other paths to the root path.
      - Using iNotes® Redirect to access mail in iNotes®
        IBM® iNotes® users can access their mail files using iNotes Redirect. With iNotes Redirect, users do not need to know the name of their mail file and mail server, they need only know the name of the iNotes Redirect server. iNotes Redirect uses IBM Domino® authentication methods to redirect a user's browser to their mail file based on their user name and password.
      - Setting up archiving using policies and configuration settings
        You can use configuration settings or policy settings, or a combination of both to set up archiving for IBM® iNotes®. You can determine how and where users can archive, and whether archive preferences are available to users in the iNotes client.
      - Creating a URL for an iNotes® portal
        You can provide a Web portal that shows one or several views of IBM® iNotes®.
      - Allowing pass-through of HTML
        In IBM® iNotes®, pass-through HTML enclosed within brackets is disabled by default. To allow this pass-through HTML style, use the notes.ini file setting iNotes_WA_AllowPassThruHtml=1. The default value is 0.
    - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
      IBM® Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
    - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
      To create or enforce security settings for IBM® iNotes® users, you must create a security policy settings document.
    - Desktop policy settings supported in iNotes®
      When applied to a user, these desktop policy settings lock down the associated user preferences in IBM® iNotes®. Any existing policies previously assigned to iNotes users are enforced.
    - Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
      Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
    - Renaming an iNotes® user
      You rename an IBM® iNotes® user who has an iNotes ID and an IBM Notes® certified public key located in their person document in the Domino® Directory the same way you rename a Notes user.
    - Integrating with other applications
      IBM® iNotes® can be integrated with IBM Sametime® and IBM Connections.
    - Customizing iNotes®
      Once IBM® iNotes® has been installed and configured, you can customize your implementation in the following ways:
  - 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.

Creating a URL for an iNotes® portal

You can provide a Web portal that shows one or several views of IBM® iNotes®.

About this task

A portal is a Web site that aggregates information from a variety of sources onto one page. You can provide a Web portal showing only one view of iNotes®, or one showing several views. iNotes® supports special URLs that allow a particular functional area, such as calendar, to be displayed within an IFRAME, or a full browser window. This view takes up very little screen space and limits access to other functional areas.

An individual iNotes® portal view is limited to one of these functional areas:

Inbox
Calendar
To Do List
Notebook
Contact List

The URL syntax for an iNotes® portal showing just the mail Inbox is, for example:

.../username.nsf/inotes/mail/?OpenDocument&ui=portal

To place all of iNotes® within a portal page, use the normal iNotes® URL without the &ui=portal parameter.

Note: Use the notes.ini file setting iNotes_WA_PortalOffline to specify offline and local archive options in a portal.
