Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
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.
Server document - Ports tab
After you install and set up a Domino® server, review the list of network ports that were enabled by the Server Setup program. Unless you customize network settings during setup, Domino enables ports based on the current operating system configuration.

      - Ports - Internet Ports tab
        Internet Site documents are used to configure Internet protocols on a Domino® server. An Internet Site document is created for each protocol and may contain configuration for a single server, or multiple servers in a Domino organization.

    - Server Properties - Advanced
      The Advanced tab shows statistics on transactions, users, and memory.
    - Server Properties - Basics
      The Basics tab provides information such as server name, operating system, hardware, and mailboxes. You can also view this information using the Show Tasks server command.
    - Server Properties - Cluster
      The Cluster tab provides information if the server is a member of a cluster.
    - Server Properties - Disks
      The Disks tab provides information about server disks, size, and free space.
  - 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.
  - 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.

Server document - Ports tab

After you install and set up a Domino® server, review the list of network ports that were enabled by the Server Setup program. Unless you customize network settings during setup, Domino® enables ports based on the current operating system configuration.

To conserve system resources, disable the ports for protocols that you do not need. To perform ports-related tasks such as disabling or enabling a network port on a server, you begin by using the Tools pane in the Domino® Administrator. Then, you return to this tab in the Server document to complete the changes to the server's network port setup.
