  - 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.
      - How replication works
        For server-to-server or server to/from client replication, the Replicator on one computer calls another Domino® server at scheduled times. By default, the Replicator is loaded at startup. To schedule replication between servers, the servers must be able to connect to each other in order to update replicas. You may need to create Connection documents to enable server connections, depending on your server topology.
      - Guidelines for setting server access to databases
        For replication to occur properly, you must assign servers the appropriate access in the database ACL. Follow these guidelines when you set server access to databases.
      - Setting up a database ACL for server-to-server replication
        You add the names of servers to a database ACL in the same way that you add the names of people. The access level given to a server in an ACL determines what, if any, changes that server can replicate to the replica.
      - Creating replicas using the Administration Process
        Through the HCL Domino® Administrator you can use the Administration Process to initiate the creation of one or more replicas. You can create replicas on servers in the same domain or in another domain (across domains, using a cross domain administration request).
      - Table of replication settings
        By default, two replicas exchange all edits, additions, and deletions if the servers the replicas are on have the necessary access. However, you can customize replication. For example, to save disk space, you can prevent the transfer of documents that are not pertinent to your site.
      - Scheduling times for replication
        Whenever possible, schedule replication for times when there is less activity on the network -- before or after work or at lunch time.
      - Scheduling server-to-server replication
        For replication to occur between two servers, you create a Connection document that specifies how and when the information exchange occurs. Connection documents are stored in the Domino® Directory. Use only one Connection document at a time to handle all replication between each pair of servers. Creating unnecessary Connection documents increases network traffic and congestion.
      - Customizing server-to-server replication
        You can customize replication in several ways.
      - Viewing replication schedules and topology maps
        You can see a graphical representation of each server's replication schedule at a glance with the Domino® Administrator. Each server's replication schedule appears separately, even if the server is a member of a group listed in the Destination server field in a Connection document.
      - Database.nsf.replicate statistics
        Domino® maintains statistics about replication status.
      - Configuring managed replicas
        An administrator can use the Managed Replicas tab in the Desktop Settings document to set a policy that, for users affected by the policy, marks any existing local mail replica as a managed replica, and, if desired, creates a new managed replica if no local replica exists.
        Specifying settings for managed replicas
        You can specify settings for managed mail replicas on the Mail tab of the Desktop Settings Policy document, generating a policy for all users of managed mail replicas.
        Controlling the number of managed mail replicas created concurrently in your organization
        Performance of managed mail replicas can degrade if too many are created simultaneously. For this reason, 25 concurrent creations of managed replicas are allowed by default. But, you can use a component of Smart Upgrade called the Smart Upgrade Governor to determine the number of replicas that can be created concurrently.
        Enabling full text searching for managed replicas
        The administrator can provide full-text search features for a managed replica even when the server-based replica is not indexed for full-text searching.
        How users of a managed replica can open a server-based replica
        When a managed replica exists, it opens by default in response to most user actions. But a user can open the server replica instead.
    - 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.
    - 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 HCL 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 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.

Enabling full text searching for managed replicas

The administrator can provide full-text search features for a managed replica even when the server-based replica is not indexed for full-text searching.

About this task

If the server-based replica of a user's mail file has a full text index, when a local managed mail replica will be is created, a local full text index is also created, so that the user will have the same search capabilities as on the server. However, some organizations do not have full-text indexing enabled on their servers for performance reasons.

If users have sufficient free disk space, the administrator can provide full-text capabilities for managed replicas by enabling it for all local replicas (not just managed replicas).

Note: The data for building the full-text index is retrieved in a background session.

Procedure

On the Domino® server, open the Desktop Settings policy document.
On the Preferences > Replication tab, enable Create a full-text index for faster searching.
