Configuring the server
HCL Domino Volt requires session-based authentication and certain HTTP settings to be enabled on the server. These can be configured by either setting the values in the notes.ini file and Server document, or by using an Internet Site document.
Server configuration - notes.ini
HTTPEnableMethods=GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,HEAD
Server configuration - internet site
- From the Domino Administrator client, click .
- Click Add Internet Site, select Web.
- Fill out the Descriptive Name, Organization, and other fields on the
Basics tab.
- On the Configuration tab, enable the methods GET,
DELETE, HEAD, POST, and PUT. You may enable other methods, but these are the
minimum that must be enabled for Volt to operate.
- On the Domino Web Engine tab, ensure that Session
authentication is enabled. This can be set to whatever you are using for
your environment (SAML, SSO, or Single Server). If you do not already have
SAML or SSO in place, then set this to Single Server.
- Review the settings on the Security tab and ensure they are appropriate for your environment.
- Save and close the Internet site document.

Server configuration - Enabling TransactionLogging for improved deployment recovery
Volt 1.0.1 supports enabling transactions for improved deployment recovery. If deployments fail, Volt can rollback most changes if transaction logging is enabled on the server. While deployment failures are rare, this reduces the potential for applications being in an inconsistent state. With transaction logging enabled, in the event of a deployment failure, the application can be reset to the previous good state without administrator intervention. Though enabling transaction logging is not required, enabling transaction logging on your Volt server is helpful in the unlikely case of a deployment failure.
