Before an IBM® Domino® community server
can support IPv6 addressing on Microsoft™ Windows™, you must configure IPv6
support for the IBM Domino server on which
it is hosted.
Before you begin
Domino and
the Domino 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 Domino 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.
- On the Domino Community
Server, start the Domino Administrator
client.
- In the Domino Administrator,
navigate to the Server pane and double-click
your community server's name to select it.
This
opens the corresponding "Server" document.
- In the "Server" document, navigate to the tab.
- Update the HTTP hostname field
by entering the fully qualified host name, followed by the explicit
IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses for this server.
Attention: When you fill out this field, you must enter the
values using the following format:
- The first value in the field must a fully qualified DNS (for example:
commsvr1.example.com
).
- The second and third values must be the explicit IP addresses
(using IPv4 dot notation or IPv6 colon notation) that correspond to
that host name; the order of these two IP addresses does not matter.
- Separate values with a carriage return by pressing the ENTER key
before adding another value.
- Save and close the "Server" document.
- Restart the HTTP service on the Domino server by running
the following command in the console:
tell http
restart
- Enable support for IPv6 addresses by adding the following
settings to the notes.ini file, located in the Domino server data directory:
tcp_enableipv6=1
DONT_USE_REMEMBERED_ADDRESSES=1
In the next statement, zone is
the default zone.
tcp_defaultzone=zone
This
set of statements creates one port for IPv4 addressing (TCPIP) and
another port for IPv6 addressing (TCPIPV6):
TCPIP=tcp,0,15,0
TCPIPV6=tcp,0,15,0
tcpip_tcpipaddress=0,_server's_IPv4_address
TCPIPV6_tcpipaddress=0,_server's_IPv6_address
ports=tcpip,tcpipv6
- Restart the Domino server
so your changes can take effect.
