Configuring
Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
- Configuring a network
  This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful HCL Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Domino® and networks
    A variety of client systems can use wireless or wired technology to communicate with Domino® servers over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). For example, Notes® workstations and Domino servers use the Notes remote procedure call (NRPC) protocol running over the LAN's network protocol to communicate with other Domino servers. Other client systems, such as Web browsers, Internet mail clients, wireless application protocol (WAP) devices, and personal information management (PIM) devices, can also communicate with Domino servers.
  - Network security
    Physical network security is beyond the scope of this documentation, but you must set it up before you set up connection security. Physical network security prevents unauthorized users from breaking through the network and using one of the operating system's native services -- for example, file sharing -- to access the server. Physical network security also comes into play when any data is exposed, as the potential exists for malicious or unauthorized users to eavesdrop both on the network where the Domino® system resides and on the system you are using to set up the server.
  - Setting up Domino® servers on the network
    Before and after installing a Domino® server, perform required tasks.
- 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 Support recommends that you do so.
- Configuring directory services
  This section describes how to plan, set up, and use HCL 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®
  HCL iNotes® provides HCL 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 HCL iNotes.
- Configuring Web servers
  This section describes how to set up the HCL Domino® Web server, and the Domino Web Navigator.
- 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.
