Post-installation tasks
After you install Domino Volt, complete the following tasks:
Restart Domino and verify Volt installation
- Restart the Domino server, and then run the following console
command:
tell http osgi ss dleap
- Ensure that the output includes the following
content:
ACTIVE dleap_[version]
volt/VoltBuilder.nsf
volt/VoltAppHistory.nsf
volt/VoltConfig.nsf
Modify VoltBuilder.nsf
The HCL Domino Volt Builder database is used to store Volt application designs and for other processing. The default ACL entry for VoltBuilder.nsf allows all authenticated users to create Volt applications. We recommend that you modify the ACL to restrict access to a group of trusted Volt authors.
- From the Notes Client, open the Volt Builder database on the server
(
volt/VoltBuilder.nsf
). - Modify the database ACL.
- Volt Authors should have Editor access with delete privileges. Use the group you name created in Configuring the server.
- Default access should be Reader.
- Anonymous should have No Access and Read public documents should be checked.
- Optional: Assign [VoltAppsManager] role to at least one administrator. Users in this role will be able to view and edit all Volt applications.
For more information on verifying the VoltBuilder.nsf, see Controlling who creates HCL Volt applications.
Modify VoltAppHistory.nsf
- From the Notes Client, open the application history database on the server
(
volt/VoltAppHistory.nsf
). - Modify the database ACL.
- Volt Authors should have Editor access with delete privileges. Use the group you name created in Configuring the server.
- Default access should be Reader.
- Anonymous should have No Access.
Modify VoltConfig.nsf
The HCL Domino Volt Configuration database is used to manage configuration information specific for your environment. Volt is capable of operating absent of any enabled settings except the Server URI.
- From the Notes Client, open the Volt Config database on the server (volt/VoltConfig.nsf)
- From the All Settings view, select and edit the setting serverURI.
- Set the Setting Value to match the appropriate URI for your HCL Domino Volt server. An example value is https://volt.example.com/volt-apps. Be sure to specify http if you don’t have SSL configured (not recommended).
- Ensure the setting is Enabled.
- Save and close the Setting document.
- Verify the database ACL.
- Default access should be NO ACCESS.
- Anonymous should be NO ACCESS.
Log in to Volt
Once you have finished modifying the Volt system databases, issue a restart task http command at the server console, and then launch a browser and visit the Volt Manager page. The absolute URL depends on your server host name and whether you have enabled https on your server. The relative URL is /volt-apps/secure/org/ide/manager.html.
Full URL example: https://volt.example.com/volt-apps/secure/org/ide/manager.html.
Login as a user in the Volt Authors group, or as a user with equivalent privileges.
Next steps...
After completing the previous tasks, an author should be able to create a new Volt application and share it with other users. This may be sufficient for a test environment. However, a production deployment of Volt may require additional configuration steps. For more configuration topics to consider see Core Domino server configuration.
