- 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.
  - 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.
  - 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.
  - 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.
  - Editing the notes.ini file
    The Domino and Notes notes.ini files contain the settings required for the server and client to operate correctly. If you modify or add settings in a notes.ini file, do so cautiously and never edit the file directly with a text editor.
  - 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.
    - iNotes® ultra-light mode
      The ultra-light mode of HCL 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 HCL Notes® and enabling HCL iNotes®, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
      - Installing and setting up iNotes®
        When you install the HCL Domino® server, all the infrastructure is put in place for HCL 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 template.
      - Setting up iNotes® on a server
        HCL iNotes® provides HCL 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 HCL iNotes® users, select iNotes for your mail system, and the mail<version>.ntf mail template. This template contains mail template support for both the iNotes client and the HCL Notes® client.
      - Using iNotes® Redirect to access mail in iNotes®
        HCL 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 HCL Domino® authentication methods to redirect a user's browser to their mail file based on their user name and password.
      - Providing a log-on URL for iNotes® users
        After registering your new HCL iNotes® users, you need to provide them with information they need to access their mail files.
      - Using an HTTP-proxy servlet to restrict URLs to external servers
        For HCL iNotes® features that send requests either to external servers for external calendar overlays, 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.
      - 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 HCL 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 HCL iNotes®.
      - Allowing pass-through of HTML
        In HCL 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
      HCL Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
    - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
      To create or enforce security settings for HCL 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 HCL 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 HCL iNotes® user who has an iNotes ID and an HCL 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
      HCL iNotes® can be integrated with HCL Sametime® and HCL Connections™.
    - Customizing iNotes®
      Once HCL 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 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.
  - 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.
  - 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 a URL for an iNotes® portal

You can provide a Web portal that shows one or several views of HCL 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.
