Welcome to the HCL Domino 11.0.1 documentation
Welcome to the HCL Domino® 11.0.1 documentation. Here administrators can find information about planning, installing, configuring, and administering Domino 11.0.1.
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 Web servers
This section describes how to set up the HCL Domino® Web server, and the Domino Web Navigator.
The Web Navigator
The Web Navigator lets Notes® workstations access the Web, without having a direct connection to the Internet. The Web Navigator server, which has a direct connection to the Internet, retrieves pages for users. The Web Navigator retrieves pages on Internet servers -- for example, servers that use Internet services such as HTTP, FTP, or Gopher.
Customizing the Web Navigator
After you set up the Web Navigator on a server, you can customize it.

- What's new in Domino® 11?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in HCL Domino® 11.
- Overview
  Welcome to HCL Domino® Administrator Help.
- Domino trial
  A trial version of HCL Domino® 11.0.1 is available free of charge.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the HCL Domino® server and subsequently deploy the HCL Notes®client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- 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.
  - 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.
    - The Domino® Web server
      Domino® provides an integrated Web application server that can host Web sites that both Internet and intranet clients can access, and that can serve up pages that are stored in the file system or in a Domino database.
    - The Web Navigator
      The Web Navigator lets Notes® workstations access the Web, without having a direct connection to the Internet. The Web Navigator server, which has a direct connection to the Internet, retrieves pages for users. The Web Navigator retrieves pages on Internet servers -- for example, servers that use Internet services such as HTTP, FTP, or Gopher.
      - Setting up a Web Navigator server
        The first time you start the Web task, Domino® creates the Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) and enters default settings for the Web Navigator database.
      - Customizing the Web Navigator
        After you set up the Web Navigator on a server, you can customize it.
        Allowing multiple users to retrieve pages concurrently
        You can specify the number of users who can use the Web Navigator to retrieve pages concurrently. If users start more concurrent Web retrievals than allowed, HCL Domino® queues them and starts them as soon as it can. Increasing the number of users who can retrieve pages improves response time, but increases the server load.
        Controlling access to Web sites
        You can control the Web sites that users access. For example, you might want to prevent users from browsing sites that are not work-related.
        Controlling access to Internet services
        You can control which Internet services users can access. The Web Navigator supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS, Gopher, and Finger.
        Setting up the Web Navigator to retrieve pages on sites secured by SSL
        For users to access Web sites that are secured by SSL, you must set up the Web Navigator to retrieve pages on these sites. The Web Navigator server does not need to use SSL in order to retrieve pages from a Web site that uses SSL.
        Sending mail from a Web page to the Internet
        When users click a mail to URL on a Web page, Domino® opens a new mail message and enters the Internet address (user@company.com) in the To: field.
      - The Web Navigator database
        The Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) resides on the Web Navigator server and stores all pages that users retrieve from Web sites. Storing Web pages in a central database reduces connection costs, since after one user retrieves a page, the page is available in the database for others to browse.
      - Customizing the Web Navigator database
        You can customize the Web Navigator database in a number of different ways.
  - 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 security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and SSL.
- Administering
  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring servers and databases.
- Tuning
  Use this information to improve HCL Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with HCL Domino® server and Administrator client.
