Creating policies for Domino Social Edition Open Social component

You can use an existing policy or create new policy and settings documents for Social Edition Open Social component users.  The policy for IBM® iNotes® can overlap and share the same settings documents used by the IBM® Notes® Social Edition Open Social component configuration. You need three policy settings documents for the Social Edition Open Social component, they are a mail policy settings document, a desktop policy settings document and a security policy settings document. For more information about policies, see the Configuring iNotes® topic. For more information about configuring Widgets with a policy, see Using policies to control widgets and live text access.

Before you begin

This task requires
  • The Domino® Directory for the domain refreshed from the Domino® pubnames.ntf template you received with iNotes® 9.0 Social Edition.
Important: While no specific mail settings are required for iNotes® Social Edition Open Social component, a mail settings document must exist in any policy that is configured for Social Edition Open Social component to ensure that certain profile notes are populated as part of mail processing for the administration process.

About this task

  • The administration process (AdminP) runs every 12 hours to push these policies to iNotes® users. AdminP runs on each home mail server.
  • To force the push, from the Domino® server console, enter the command tell adminp process mail on the home mail server ofeach user.
  • You can also use the notes.ini file setting ADMINP_POLL_INTERVAL=time in minutes to process mail policy at intervals other than the default 12 hours
    Note: This notes.ini setting processes every mail file on your system and can take a long time.  Keep this in mind when setting the interval.
  • See Domino Policy FAQ for more information.
