Configuring users and servers
Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
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.
Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
HCL Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
Showing the unread count on folders
You can set a mail policy setting so that all folders, except for personal folders, display the number of unread messages next to the folder name in the navigator pane. This count automatically adjusts when a message is read, or when an unread message is moved from/to a folder. For personal folders, the count does not update automatically but rather a refresh icon displays next to the folder name and the count updates when users click the icon.

- 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.
    - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
      HCL Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
      - Showing the unread count on folders
        You can set a mail policy setting so that all folders, except for personal folders, display the number of unread messages next to the folder name in the navigator pane. This count automatically adjusts when a message is read, or when an unread message is moved from/to a folder. For personal folders, the count does not update automatically but rather a refresh icon displays next to the folder name and the count updates when users click the icon.
      - Enabling scroll hints
        You can enable scroll hints in the mail policy settings document.
      - Setting up automatic refresh for the Inbox
        By default, HCL iNotes® users can set a general mail preference so that their Inbox is updated automatically when new mail arrives. Additionally, if you have enabled the unread count feature for mail folders so that the count is updated automatically, the count is updated automatically for system folders (Inbox and Junk) when new mail arrives.
      - Preventing users from requesting a return receipt
        HCL iNotes® includes the mail policy setting Do not allow users to set return receipt. When enabled, this mail policy setting prevents users from setting a return receipt on their outgoing messages.
      - Enabling RSS feeds for iNotes®
        You can enable RSS feeds for HCL iNotes® mail through mail policy settings or by using notes.ini file variables.
    - 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.

Showing the unread count on folders

You can set a mail policy setting so that all folders, except for personal folders, display the number of unread messages next to the folder name in the navigator pane. This count automatically adjusts when a message is read, or when an unread message is moved from/to a folder. For personal folders, the count does not update automatically but rather a refresh icon displays next to the folder name and the count updates when users click the icon.

About this task

If users have elected to refresh the Inbox automatically by setting a Mail > General preference, the unread count for system folders such as Inbox or Junk, updates automatically when new mail arrives. However, unread mail that is moved to a folder as a result of a mail rule does not increment the unread count for the designated folder.

Set up the unread count feature by creating or editing a mail policy settings document and completing these fields on the iNotes configuration tab:

Enable unread count - Enable so that the number of unread messages in a folder displays in the navigator pane of HCL iNotes®.
Autoupdate unread count - Select the mail folders for which you want to update the unread count automatically.
