Configuring Domino for IPv6 addressing on Linux™
Before an HCL® Sametime® server can support IPv6 addressing on HCL® Linux™ you must configure IPv6 support for the Domino® server on which it is hosted.
Before you begin
Domino and the Sametime Community server must be installed; the Domino server must be running (it does not matter whether the community server is also running at this point).
About this task
In Domino, only IPv4 addressing is enabled by default. Configuring Domino to support IPv6 involves modifying the Sametime community server's "Server" document within the Domino Administrator interface, as well as adding configuration settings to the notes.ini file used by Domino.
For information on supporting IPv6 with Domino, see "IPv6 and Domino" in the Domino Administration product documentation at:
Domino Administration product documentation
Procedure
- To support both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, update the "Server"
document for the community server so that both formats will be accepted:
Note: If you will only support IPv6 addressing, skip this step.
- Enable support for IPv6 addresses by adding the following
setting to the notes.ini file, located in the Domino server data directory:
tcp_enableipv6=1 DONT_USE_REMEMBERED_ADDRESSES=1
Leave this file open for the next step.
-
(AIX® only) Add the following setting to the
notes.ini file to define the default zone for your server:
tcp_defaultzone=zone
In this statement, zone is the default zone; this information can be obtained by running the
ifconfig -a
command. - Restart the Domino server so your changes can take effect.
