Preface vii
Chapter 1
Configuring a Domino Server
This chapter provides an overview of how to configure a new Domino

server.
Setting up a Domino server

Before configuring the server, you must run the Setup program to copy the
Lotus® Domino™ Release 5 files to your computer.
Domino Release 5 platforms

Domino Release 5 runs on the following platforms:
HP-UX™
IBM AIX®
IBM OS/2® Warp™
Microsoft® Windows NT™ (Intel and Alpha)
Sun Solaris® (Intel and SPARC)
For specific information on operating system versions, patches,
environment variables, and issues, see the Notes, Domino and Domino
Designer Release Notes.
New features in Domino Release 5

Domino Release 5 includes many new features that improve the
productivity and efficiency of your organization. These include:
Security
X.509 certificates
You can issue X.509 certificates to users along with or instead of Notes
certificates.
S/MIME
You can use S/MIME and X.509 certificates to send encrypted Internet
mail.
Password recovery
If users forget their password, an administrator can recover their ID file.
1
File protection for Web files
Domino R5 lets you set access control for Web files such as images and
HTML documents.
Mail
Native Internet addressing
Domino R5 lets you use Internet addresses (RFC 821 / 822) with both
Internet mail and Notes mail.
Native SMTP
The Domino router can transfer and deliver messages over SMTP as
well as Notes RPC, allowing any Domino R5 server to act as an Internet
mail server.
Native MIME
Domino R5 servers and databases can route and store MIME messages,
eliminating the need for conversion. In addition, Notes R5 client users
can compose and read MIME messages.
Multiple MAIL.BOX databases
Multiple MAIL.BOX databases eliminate a bottleneck in mail routing
and processing.
Multi-threaded delivery
Multi-threaded delivery allows multiple transfer threads to a single
server, improving performance and throughput.
Directory
LDAPv3
LDAP clients can make changes to the Domino Directory via LDAP.
Domino can use LDAP to authenticate Web users in an external
directory, and the LDAP Data Interchange Format lets you import
and export directory information.
Compressed enterprise directory (Directory Catalog)
The Directory Catalog compresses one or more Domino Directories
for fast, easy lookups of addresses. A 1GB Domino Directory can be
compressed into a 12MB Directory Catalog. The Directory Catalog is
an excellent tool for mobile users.
Administration
Domino Administrator client — task-oriented UI
The Domino Administrator organizes server information and
operations by task. You can perform operations on multiple servers
or databases at once. R5 includes topology mapping, enhanced server
monitoring, mail tracking, and drag-and-drop support.
2 Setting Up a Domino Server

Message tracking
R5 lets you track messages en route, including the routing path and
whether the message has been delivered.
Mail controls (anti-SPAM)
R5 includes controls on who can send and receive mail in your
organization, allowing you to filter SPAM and restrict mail.
Migration tools (moving users and mail from other mail systems to
Domino)
R5 includes tools for moving users and mail files to Domino from
Lotus cc:Mail™, Microsoft® Exchange, Microsoft® Mail, Microsoft®
Windows NT™, or other LDAP directories.
Applications
Transaction logging
Transaction logging keeps a sequential record of every operation that
occurs to data. If a database becomes corrupted, you can “roll back” the
database to a point before it was corrupted and replay the changes from
the transaction log.
Online, in-place database compaction
With R5, you can compact databases while they are open. Compaction
takes place without the need for extra disk space, where R4 required
free disk space equal to the size of the database being compacted.
Backup API
R5 includes an API for third-party tools to back up Domino data.
CORBA and IIOP support
R5 supports the Common Object Request Broker Architecture and the
Internet Inter-Orb Protocol to allow you to create Web applications that
take advantage of Domino services.
Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS)
DECS lets you connect in real-time to backend data, such as relational
databases and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
Internet
Internet clustering (failover and load-balancing)
Web clients fail over to another server in a cluster when one server goes
down, and Domino balances the load from Web clients across servers.
Integration with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
You can use Microsoft IIS as the HTTP services for Domino.
Chapter 1: Configuring a Domino Server 3

Search
Domain Search
With R5 Domain Search, you can search databases across a Domino
domain.
Results filtering
Domain Search checks search results to make sure a user can access
them; if not, the user does not see the results.
File systems
You can include file systems in Domain Search, including specifying
which file types to exclude and which directories to include.
Steps for configuring a server

When you decide to set up and configure a new Domino server, do the
following:
Decide on the server’s role — for example, whether it is a mail server
or an application server. This helps you decide which tasks you enable
on the server during configuration.
Decide where to locate the server physically and decide who
administers it.
Decide on a name for the server. For more information, see “Naming
conventions and requirements.”
Decide whether this server is part of an existing Domino domain or is
the first server in a new Domino domain. For more information, see
“Understanding Domino terms.”
Perform pre-install tasks. For more information, see “Completing
pre-install tasks.”
Install the server by running the Setup program.
Configure the server. For more information on configuring the first
server, see “What happens during first server configuration.”
Implement Domino security. For more information, see “Using Domino
server security” and “Location of the certifier ID file.”
Run the server. For more information, see “Starting and shutting down
the Domino server.”

Organization name is the name of the certifier ID and is appended to all
user and server names. Typically, the organization name is the same as
the domain name, and there is only one organization per domain. The
name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
Domino network names denote groups of servers that are physically
connected and use the same network protocol. The name can have a
maximum of 31 characters. It is helpful to use an identifier such as the
location of the Domino named network, the LAN type, or the protocol.
For example, Boston_Novell or Singapore_Ethernet are descriptive
names.
Domino server names are unique names that identify servers in a
domain. Server names can consist of one or more words (a maximum
of 79 characters) and can consist of any characters except: parentheses,
at (@), slash and backslash (/ and \), equal (=), and plus (+). Using
spaces is not recommended. If you use spaces, you must enter that
server name in quotes (“”) when entering a command at the server
console — for example, “Mail Server One.”
Guidelines for naming a Domino server
Choose a name you want to keep. If you change a server name, you
must recertify the server ID and change the name in the Server
document, Group documents, database access control lists (ACLs),
and Connection documents.
Choose a name without a space. If you choose to use spaces in a server
name, you must use quotation marks around the name when you use
server console commands.
Consider that replication and mail routing tasks are usually performed
based on numerical rather than alphabetical order. For example, when
the router faces multiple choices for a routing path, Domino routes mail
to the server 01Finance, then the server Accounting, then the server
Research.
In certain networks the first several characters in a server name must be
unique for the network to identify the server. With NetBIOS, the first 15
characters must be unique; with AppleTalk, the first 32 must be unique;
and with SPX, the first 47 must be unique.

Understanding Domino terms
Before you configure your Domino server, familiarize yourself with the
following Domino terms:
Domino server ID
Each Domino server has a unique name that is maintained in its own ID file.
Domino creates the server ID automatically during the server configuration
program.
Notes user ID
Each Notes user has a unique name that is maintained in its own ID file.
Domino creates the user ID when you register new users.
Certifier ID
Each grouping of Domino servers, known as a domain, has an organization
certifier ID that is stored in a file named CERT.ID. This certifier
automatically certifies the first server’s ID and the administrator’s ID.
When you register new users or servers, you use the certifier ID to give
access to the domain. You also use the organization certifier ID when you
create organizational unit certifiers for a hierarchical name scheme.
Domino creates the organization certifier ID automatically during the first
server Setup program using the organization name you specify and an
optional country code. You can only add a country code if your country’s
clearinghouse for X.500 names has approved your organization name.
Adding a country code minimizes the chance that another organization has
the same organization name as yours. A multinational organization requires
only one certifier ID, even if a country code is specified; it’s not necessary to
have separate certifier IDs for each country in which Domino is deployed.
Domain
A domain is a group of Domino servers that share the same Domino
Directory.
Domino Directory
Each domain has a Domino Directory. The Domino Directory is the control
and administration center for Domino servers in the domain. It contains a
Server document for each server and a Person document for each user. In
addition, you can create Group documents to establish relationships among
servers and users for mailing and security purposes, and create Connection
documents to schedule replication and mail routing among servers.
For more information, see Administering the Domino System.

What happens during first server configuration
Here is an overview of what happens when you configure the first server in
a Domino domain. Before you configure the first Domino server, select the
names that you want to use for the domain, organization, and server. For
more information, see Administering the Domino System.
Note For all Domino servers, only choose First Domino Server when you
are setting up Domino for the first time in your company or when you are
creating a new domain. A Domino partitioned server or cluster member
may or may not be the first server in a domain.
Configuring the first Domino server does the following:
Creates a new domain for the Domino servers.
Enables the appropriate network and serial ports.
Creates the Domino Directory for the domain. The configuration
program uses the PUBNAMES.NTF template to create the Domino
Directory in the same directory you choose for Domino data files and
gives it the default name NAMES.NSF.
Creates a certifier ID for your organization. The configuration program
saves the certifier ID in the same directory you choose for Domino data
files and gives it the default name CERT.ID.
Creates a Certifier document in the Domino Directory. This document
describes the certifier ID.
Creates a server ID for the new server. The configuration program
saves the server ID in the same directory you choose for Domino data
files and gives it the default name SERVER.ID.
Certifies the server ID with the organization certifier ID.
Creates a Server document in the Domino Directory. This document
describes the first server based on information that you specify during
configuration.
Creates a Person document in the Domino Directory for the Domino
administrator specified during configuration.
Creates a user ID and a password for the Domino administrator and
attaches it as a file named USER.ID to the administrator’s Person
document in the Domino Directory.
Certifies the administrator’s user ID with the organization certifier ID.
Adds the administrator’s name and the server’s name as managers in
the access control list of the Domino Directory.
Adds the server name to the LocalDomainServers group in the Domino
Directory.

Creates the log file for the server in the same directory you choose for
Domino data files and gives it the default name LOG.NSF.
Creates a mail directory in the Domino data directory and a mail file in
that directory for the Domino administrator.
Completing pre-install tasks

Follow these steps before you install Domino.
1. Make sure that the required hardware and software components are in
place and working.
2. Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection
software.
3. Make sure that all other applications are closed. Otherwise, you may
corrupt any shared files and the Install program may not run properly.
4. Read the Notes, Domino and Domino Designer Release Notes for any
last-minute changes or additions to the documentation.
5. If you are upgrading to Domino from previous releases, read Moving to
Notes and Domino R5.
Using Domino server security

It is crucial to keep the Domino server secure. To prevent unauthorized
users from accessing sensitive information on the server, keep the Domino
server in a locked room or in a location where you can watch it, and use the
Set Secure command to assign the server a password to prevent
unauthorized changes while the server is running.
To set the password, enter the following server command at the console:
Set Secure password
where password is a password that you specify.

To exit the server, you must enter the password when using the Exit or Quit
command. While the Set Secure command is in effect, you cannot use the
Load, Set Config, and Tell commands, and you cannot use the Notes
workstation program on the server machine.
To remove the password, type:
Set Secure password
again with the same password.

Location of the certifier ID file
By default, the server configuration program stores the certifier ID file in
the directory you specify as the Domino data directory. For security
reasons, you should move the certifier ID to a more secure location — such
as on a floppy disk locked in a secure area. It is possible that the certifier ID
may not be in the Domino data directory when you certify a new user or
server, depending on your organization’s level of security.
Starting and shutting down the Domino server

Start the Domino server so users can access shared databases and obtain
other server services. Do not enter keystrokes or click the mouse while the
Domino server is starting or shutting down.
Note If the server program is running, do not use CTRL+S to stop scrolling
at the console, because no server services take place until you press a key to
continue.
1. To start the server, do the following:
On IBM OS/2 Warp, double-click the Lotus Applications folder on
the desktop and then double-click the Lotus Domino icon.
On Microsoft Windows NT, choose Start - Programs - Lotus
Applications - Lotus Domino Server.
On UNIX, type:
/opt/lotus/bin/server
and press ENTER.

2. To shut down the Domino server, type:
exit
or
quit
and press ENTER. It may take 10 seconds or more for the server to shut
down.

Installing the R5 Domino Administrator
In Release 5, you install the Domino server and any Notes clients —
including the Domino Administrator client — separately. This is a change
from Release 4, where installing a server automatically installed an
administration client. When you install a server, the Setup program does
not install the Domino Administrator or NOTES.EXE. You must run client
setup to install the Domino Administrator client if you want to have the
Domino Administrator on the same computer as the Domino server. This
installs the client software, including NOTES.EXE, in the client directory.

Configuring Domino on IBM OS/2 Warp,
Microsoft Windows NT (Alpha), and UNIX
This chapter describes configuring a new Domino server on a computer

running HP-UX, IBM AIX, IBM OS/2 Warp, Microsoft Windows NT with
an Alpha processor, or Sun Solaris.
Configuring a new Domino server for IBM OS/2 Warp, Microsoft Windows
NT (Alpha), and UNIX
After installing a Domino server, launch the HTTP server with the
httpsetup keyword. This lets you configure the new Domino server
with a browser through the Domino Server Configuration database,
SETUPWEB.NSF.
1. After installing Domino R5 by running SETUP.EXE (for IBM OS/2
Warp and Microsoft Windows NT (Alpha)) or install (for UNIX),
change to the operating system’s command line:
For IBM OS/2 Warp, open an OS/2 window.
For Microsoft Windows NT (Alpha), choose Start - Programs -
MS-DOS prompt.
For UNIX, log into the system as the user specified during Domino
installation.
2. Change to the correct directory for the configuration program:
For IBM OS/2 Warp, change to the Domino data directory.
For Windows NT (Alpha), change to the Domino program directory.
For UNIX, change to the data directory specified during Domino
installation.
3. Launch the HTTP server with the configuration keyword:
For IBM OS/2 Warp, type:
ihttp httpsetup
and press ENTER.
23
For Windows NT (Alpha), type:
ahttp httpsetup
and press ENTER.
For UNIX, type:
/opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup
and press ENTER.
4. Connect to the server with a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator, on the port specified by the
configuration program to configure the new Domino server. For
example, for the server web.acme.com with IP address 192.168.5.97
and the specified port 8081, type:
http://192.168.5.97:8081
or
http://web.acme.com:8081
in the browser’s location bar and press ENTER.
Note To obtain the IP address of the server, do the following:
For IBM OS/2 Warp and Microsoft Windows NT (Alpha), type:
ipconfig
and press ENTER.
For UNIX, type:
grep <machine name> /etc/hosts
where <machine name> is the host name of the server.
Press ENTER.
The configuration program launches the Domino Server Configuration
database (SETUPWEB.NSF).

Chapter 4
Using Configuration Profiles
This chapter describes how to create configuration profiles, which allow

fast configuration of standard types of servers such as mail and application
servers.
Creating a configuration profile

Use the Domino Configuration database (SETUP.NSF for Microsoft
Windows NT/Intel; SETUPWEB.NSF for IBM OS/2 Warp, Microsoft
Windows NT/Alpha, and UNIX), to create a configuration profile for
Domino servers. A configuration profile sets default options for configuring
a server, such as the server tasks to install, the server’s Domino domain,
and the certifier ID file to use. With a configuration profile, you can
standardize server configuration in your organization. This lets you quickly
configure standard types of servers, such as a mail server or an application
server, and helps maintain consistency in how servers are configured.
SETUP.NSF, for Microsoft Windows NT (Intel), lets you create multiple
configuration profiles.
SETUPWEB.NSF, for all other R5 Domino server platforms, lets you create
only one configuration profile.
Creating a configuration profile

To create a configuration profile, do the following:
1. Copy the file SETUP.NSF or SETUPWEB.NSF, or both from the Domino
R5 server CD to a computer with a Notes R5 client.
2. Launch the Notes R5 client.
3. Do one of the following:
Add the Configuration database to your Bookmarks by choosing
File - Database - Open, selecting the Server Configuration database,
clicking Bookmark, then clicking Cancel.
Open the Configuration database by choosing File - Database - Open,
selecting the Server Configuration database, and clicking Open. Press
ESC, select the Configuration document in the view, and press
DELETE. Press F9 and click OK to delete the document. Press ESC.
31
If you are using the workspace, add the database to your workspace
by choosing File - Database - Open, selecting the Server
Configuration database, clicking Add Icon, and clicking Done.
4. From the Actions menu, choose Create Configuration Profile.
Choosing a first or additional server

On the first Configuration Profile screen, Create a New Domino Server,
select whether to install the first server in a Domino domain or whether to
install an additional server in an existing domain. You can leave the
Configuration database at any time and preserve your information by
clicking Save & Quit in the top right of the screen. For more information
about the choices you make, see the Quick Help on the right side of the
screen.
If you are configuring the first Domino server in your organization, or if
you are configuring the first server in a new Domino domain, select First
Domino Server and click the right arrow at the top right of the screen. If you
are configuring an additional Domino server in a domain, select Additional
Domino Server and click the right arrow.

Using configuration profiles
After creating one or more configuration profiles in the Domino Server
Configuration database, copy the database to the installation location from
which administrators set up Domino servers — for example, to a file server.
You may need to overwrite the default Domino Server Configuration
database in that location. It is also possible to set up multiple installation
locations with different versions of the Configuration database — for
example, one location with settings for European servers and one location
with settings for Asian servers.
Opening a configuration profile

When you configure a Domino server using a Configuration database
containing a server profile, Domino automatically uses that profile to
configure the server. If you are using SETUP.NSF and the database contains
more than one profile, Domino prompts the administrator to select a profile
and then uses the specified profile.
If you are setting up multiple profiles in SETUP.NSF, tell administrators
which profile to use for each server they configure.
Providing additional information

Some information cannot be provided in the configuration profile, such as
passwords for ID files. Tell administrators what passwords to use or allow
them to select their own passwords. In addition, you may have left some
information to be specified during each configuration, such as the name
of the server. Tell administrators what name to use and provide any
additional information they need to configure the server, such as which
Domino server they can obtain the Domino Directory from.
Editing a configuration profile

You may want to make changes to a saved configuration profile. To edit a
saved configuration profile, do the following:
1. Copy the Configuration database from the installation location to a
computer with a Notes R5 client.
2. Launch the Notes R5 client.

3. Do one of the following:
Add the Configuration database to your Bookmarks by choosing
File - Database - Open, selecting the Server Configuration database,
clicking Bookmark, then clicking Cancel.
Open the Configuration database by choosing File - Database - Open,
selecting the Server Configuration database, and clicking Open.
If you are using the workspace, add the database to your workspace
by choosing File - Database - Open, selecting the Server
Configuration database, clicking Add Icon, and clicking Done.
4. From the Actions menu, choose Edit Profile Document.
5. Choose the profile you want to edit and click OK.
6. Make any changes you want to the profile.
7. Go to screen 4 and click Finish.
8. Copy the Configuration database to the installation location.
