- Domino trial requirements
  Read about the Domino trial requirements.
- Deploying the Domino on Docker trial server
  To deploy a new Domino server in a Docker container, complete the following steps.
- Preparing the Domino server
  Before you configure the additional products that are part of the trial, complete the following steps.
  - Generating a key ring file for TLS connections
    To set up TLS on the trial server, you need a key ring containing a server certificate from a third-party Internet certificate authority (CA).
  - Configuring a Web Site document
    After you generate a key ring file for the Domino trial server, configure a Web Site document. The Web Site document is used to configure Web server connections. In the Web Site document you specify the name of the key ring file as well as other settings.
  - Modifying Web server Internet port and protocol settings for trial
    Configure the Web ports and protocol settings in the Domino Server document.
  - Verifying connections and registering users
    Verify that you can connect to the server from a web browser.
- Configuring additional products
  After you prepare the HCL Domino® server, optionally configure any of the following pre-installed products: HCL Domino® Volt, HCL Verse, HCL Traveler, HCL Domino® AppDev Pack.
- Useful Docker commands for the trial
  While administration and configuration steps are largely executed the same way for both a Domino-container-based server and non-container-based server, there are a few differences to keep in mind.

Verifying connections and registering users

Verify that you can connect to the server from a web browser.

Procedure

Enter the following command from the Domino console:
```
restart server
```
Log on to https://docker.renovations.com/mail/<yourmailfile.nsf> from a browser. To log on, use the First name, Last name, and Internet password specified in the Domino directory Person document for the administrator account created during Domino setup.

What to do next

Use Domino Administrator to register users for the Domino trial server. For more information, see the topic User registration in the Configuring section of the Domino documentation.
