Planning
Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
Configuring
Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
- 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.
  - Domino IQ
    Domino 14.5 adds support for running an AI inference engine in the Domino backend.
  - 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 Verse
    HCL Verse 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 Verse.
    - Getting started with Verse
      Perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with HCL Verse.
    - Creating mail policy settings for Verse users
      HCL Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings for Verse users.
    - Creating security policy settings for Verse users
      To create or enforce security settings for HCL Verse® users, you must create a security policy settings document.
    - Desktop policy settings supported in Verse
      When applied to a user, these desktop policy settings lock down the associated Mail settings in HCL Verse®. Any existing policies previously assigned to Verse® users are enforced.
    - Editing the configuration settings document for Verse
      Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
      - Secure mail for Verse
        To allow HCL Verse® users to encrypt and digitally sign email messages, you must enable both the Encrypted mail support and the Name Resolution and Validation fields on the HCL Verse tab of the server's configuration settings document.
      - Configuring alternate name support in Verse
        An alternate name is helpful when a user wants to use his or her native language and character set to type, display, and look up names. For example, users can type a name in a native language and character set when sending mail. A user's primary name is recognizable to an international audience; an alternate name is recognizable to the user's native language.
      - Making calendar details available to other users
        You can make calendar details available to other users with settings on the server's configuration settings document and preferences in your mail file.
      - Making Notes® links work in Verse
        You can configure HCL Verse® so that users can open HCL Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes. Verse® supports Notes links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an HCL Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for Verse users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or web links only.
      - Setting a maximum attachment size
        You can set a maximum attachment size other than the default value.
    - Renaming a Verse user
      You rename an HCL Verse® user who has an HCL Notes® ID and an HCL Notes certified public key located in their person document in the Domino® Directory the same way that you rename a Notes® user.
    - Specifying notes.ini file settings for Verse
      A number of notes.ini file settings are available to help you tune your configuration of HCL Verse®. This section contains two of the notes.ini file settings for Verse®.
  - 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.
Securing
This section describes security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and TLS.

Troubleshooting
This section describes how to find and solve problems with HCL Domino® server and Administrator client.
Notices

Secure mail for Verse

To allow HCL Verse® users to encrypt and digitally sign email messages, you must enable both the Encrypted mail support and the Name Resolution and Validation fields on the HCL Verse tab of the server's configuration settings document.

S/MIME is supported in Verse®. Users can verify an S/MIME signature on a received message. Users who have an X.509 certificate in HCL Notes® ID in their mail file or in ID Vault can decrypt received S/MIME messages as well as S/MIME sign messages they send. Outgoing messages can be S/MIME encrypted for recipients who have an X.509 certificate in the HCL Domino® directory or in Verse contacts. To allow an X.509 certificate to be used by Verse, an Internet cross-certificate must be issued from the user's organizational certifier to the certificate authority that issued the X.509 certificate. This Internet cross-certificate must be present in the Domino directory.

When both Notes® and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible, Verse uses S/MIME sign and encryption by default. Use the notes.ini file setting iNotes_wa_SecMailPreferNotes to turn on Notes sign and encryption when both S/MIME and Notes sign and encryption are possible.

Deployment differences between Notes and Verse

Recovery authority -- Verse does not support recovery authority unless it is already in the ID mailed to the user.
Imported Notes IDs -- Notes IDs cannot be Smartcard enabled.
Certificates -- Verse looks for certificates first in the Domino directory and then in the contacts.
Cross certificates -- Verse looks for cross certificates only in the Domino directory. If you are using Verse, you must create any required cross certificates in the Domino directory.
Multiple domains -- If you are administering multiple domains, use directory assistance for an extended directory catalog on the server. Do not use a condensed directory catalog on the server.
