Chapter 1Configuring a Domino Server

This chapter provides an overview of how to configure a new Dominoserver.

Setting up a Domino server

Before configuring the server, you must run the Setup program to copy theLotus Domino Release 5 files to your computer.

Domino Release 5 platformsDomino 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 DominoDesigner Release Notes.

New features in Domino Release 5Domino Release 5 includes many new features that improve theproductivity and efficiency of your organization. These include:

SecurityX.509 certificates

You can issue X.509 certificates to users along with or instead of Notescertificates.

S/MIME

You can use S/MIME and X.509 certificates to send encrypted Internetmail.

Password recovery

If users forget their password, an administrator can recover their ID file.

10/56

File protection for Web files

Domino R5 lets you set access control for Web files such as images andHTML documents.

MailNative Internet addressing

Domino R5 lets you use Internet addresses (RFC 821 / 822) with bothInternet mail and Notes mail.

Native SMTP

The Domino router can transfer and deliver messages over SMTP aswell as Notes RPC, allowing any Domino R5 server to act as an Internetmail 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 routingand processing.

Multi-threaded delivery

Multi-threaded delivery allows multiple transfer threads to a singleserver, improving performance and throughput.

Directory

LDAPv3LDAP clients can make changes to the Domino Directory via LDAP.Domino can use LDAP to authenticate Web users in an externaldirectory, and the LDAP Data Interchange Format lets you importand export directory information.

Compressed enterprise directory (Directory Catalog)

The Directory Catalog compresses one or more Domino Directoriesfor fast, easy lookups of addresses. A 1GB Domino Directory can becompressed into a 12MB Directory Catalog. The Directory Catalog isan excellent tool for mobile users.

AdministrationDomino Administrator client task-oriented UI

The Domino Administrator organizes server information andoperations by task. You can perform operations on multiple serversor databases at once. R5 includes topology mapping, enhanced servermonitoring, mail tracking, and drag-and-drop support.

2 Setting Up a Domino Server


11/56

Message tracking

R5 lets you track messages en route, including the routing path andwhether 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 toDomino)

R5 includes tools for moving users and mail files to Domino fromLotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Mail, MicrosoftWindows NT, or other LDAP directories.

ApplicationsTransaction logging

Transaction logging keeps a sequential record of every operation that

occurs to data. If a database becomes corrupted, you can roll back thedatabase to a point before it was corrupted and replay the changes fromthe transaction log.

Online, in-place database compaction

With R5, you can compact databases while they are open. Compactiontakes place without the need for extra disk space, where R4 requiredfree 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 theInternet Inter-Orb Protocol to allow you to create Web applications thattake advantage of Domino services.

Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS)

DECS lets you connect in real-time to backend data, such as relationaldatabases 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 goesdown, 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


12/56

SearchDomain Search

With R5 Domain Search, you can search databases across a Dominodomain.

Results filtering

Domain Search checks search results to make sure a user can accessthem; if not, the user does not see the results.

File systems

You can include file systems in Domain Search, including specifyingwhich 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 servers role for example, whether it is a mail serveror an application server. This helps you decide which tasks you enableon the server during configuration.

Decide where to locate the server physically and decide whoadministers it.

Decide on a name for the server. For more information, see Namingconventions 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, seeUnderstanding Domino terms.

Perform pre-install tasks. For more information, see Completingpre-install tasks.

Install the server by running the Setup program.

Configure the server. For more information on configuring the firstserver, see What happens during first server configuration.

Implement Domino security. For more information, see Using Dominoserver security and Location of the certifier ID file.

Run the server. For more information, see Starting and shutting downthe Domino server.



13/56

Organization name is the name of the certifier ID and is appended to alluser and server names. Typically, the organization name is the same asthe domain name, and there is only one organization per domain. Thename can have a maximum of 64 characters.

Domino network names denote groups of servers that are physicallyconnected and use the same network protocol. The name can have amaximum of 31 characters. It is helpful to use an identifier such as thelocation of the Domino named network, the LAN type, or the protocol.For example, Boston_Novell or Singapore_Ethernet are descriptivenames.

Domino server names are unique names that identify servers in adomain. Server names can consist of one or more words (a maximumof 79 characters) and can consist of any characters except: parentheses,at (@), slash and backslash (/ and \), equal (=), and plus (+). Usingspaces is not recommended. If you use spaces, you must enter thatserver 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, youmust recertify the server ID and change the name in the Serverdocument, Group documents, database access control lists (ACLs),and Connection documents.

Choose a name without a space. If you choose to use spaces in a servername, you must use quotation marks around the name when you useserver console commands.

Consider that replication and mail routing tasks are usually performedbased on numerical rather than alphabetical order. For example, whenthe router faces multiple choices for a routing path, Domino routes mailto the server 01Finance, then the server Accounting, then the serverResearch.

In certain networks the first several characters in a server name must beunique for the network to identify the server. With NetBIOS, the first 15characters must be unique; with AppleTalk, the first 32 must be unique;and with SPX, the first 47 must be unique.



14/56

Understanding Domino terms

Before you configure your Domino server, familiarize yourself with thefollowing 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 configurationprogram.

Notes user IDEach 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 IDEach grouping of Domino servers, known as a domain, has an organizationcertifier ID that is stored in a file named CERT.ID. This certifierautomatically certifies the first servers ID and the administrators ID.

When you register new users or servers, you use the certifier ID to giveaccess to the domain. You also use the organization certifier ID when youcreate organizational unit certifiers for a hierarchical name scheme.

Domino creates the organization certifier ID automatically during the firstserver Setup program using the organization name you specify and anoptional country code. You can only add a country code if your countrysclearinghouse for X.500 names has approved your organization name.Adding a country code minimizes the chance that another organization hasthe same organization name as yours. A multinational organization requiresonly one certifier ID, even if a country code is specified; its not necessary to

have separate certifier IDs for each country in which Domino is deployed.

DomainA domain is a group of Domino servers that share the same DominoDirectory.

Domino DirectoryEach domain has a Domino Directory. The Domino Directory is the controland administration center for Domino servers in the domain. It contains aServer document for each server and a Person document for each user. Inaddition, you can create Group documents to establish relationships among

servers and users for mailing and security purposes, and create Connectiondocuments to schedule replication and mail routing among servers.

For more information, seeAdministering the Domino System.



15/56

What happens during first server configuration

Here is an overview of what happens when you configure the first server ina Domino domain. Before you configure the first Domino server, select thenames that you want to use for the domain, organization, and server. Formore information, seeAdministering the Domino System.

Note For all Domino servers, only choose First Domino Server when youare setting up Domino for the first time in your company or when you arecreating a new domain. A Domino partitioned server or cluster membermay 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 DominoDirectory in the same directory you choose for Domino data files andgives it the default name NAMES.NSF.

Creates a certifier ID for your organization. The configuration programsaves the certifier ID in the same directory you choose for Domino datafiles and gives it the default name CERT.ID.

Creates a Certifier document in the Domino Directory. This documentdescribes the certifier ID.

Creates a server ID for the new server. The configuration programsaves 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 documentdescribes the first server based on information that you specify duringconfiguration.

Creates a Person document in the Domino Directory for the Dominoadministrator specified during configuration.

Creates a user ID and a password for the Domino administrator andattaches it as a file named USER.ID to the administrators Person

document in the Domino Directory.Certifies the administrators user ID with the organization certifier ID.

Adds the administrators name and the servers name as managers inthe access control list of the Domino Directory.

Adds the server name to the LocalDomainServers group in the DominoDirectory.



16/56

Creates the log file for the server in the same directory you choose forDomino data files and gives it the default name LOG.NSF.

Creates a mail directory in the Domino data directory and a mail file inthat 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 inplace and working.

2. Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detectionsoftware.

3. Make sure that all other applications are closed. Otherwise, you maycorrupt 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, readMoving to

Notes and Domino R5.

Using Domino server security

It is crucial to keep the Domino server secure. To prevent unauthorizedusers from accessing sensitive information on the server, keep the Dominoserver in a locked room or in a location where you can watch it, and use theSet Secure command to assign the server a password to preventunauthorized changes while the server is running.

To set the password, enter the following server command at the console:

Set Secure password

wherepassword is a password that you specify.

To exit the server, you must enter the password when using the Exit or Quitcommand. While the Set Secure command is in effect, you cannot use theLoad, Set Config, and Tell commands, and you cannot use the Notesworkstation program on the server machine.

To remove the password, type:

Set Secure password

again with the same password.



17/56

Location of the certifier ID file

By default, the server configuration program stores the certifier ID file inthe directory you specify as the Domino data directory. For securityreasons, you should move the certifier ID to a more secure location suchas 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 orserver, depending on your organizations level of security.

Starting and shutting down the Domino server

Start the Domino server so users can access shared databases and obtainother server services. Do not enter keystrokes or click the mouse while theDomino server is starting or shutting down.

Note If the server program is running, do not use CTRL+Sto stop scrollingat the console, because noserver services take place until you press a key tocontinue.

1. To start the server, do the following:

On IBM OS/2 Warp, double-click the Lotus Applications folder onthe desktop and then double-click the Lotus Domino icon.

On Microsoft Windows NT, choose Start - Programs - LotusApplications - 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 shutdown.



18/56

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 changefrom Release 4, where installing a server automatically installed anadministration client. When you install a server, the Setup program does

not install the Domino Administrator or NOTES.EXE. You must run clientsetup to install the Domino Administrator client if you want to have theDomino Administrator on the same computer as the Domino server. Thisinstalls the client software, including NOTES.EXE, in the client directory.

Chapter 4Using Configuration Profiles

This chapter describes how to create configuration profiles, which allowfast configuration of standard types of servers such as mail and applicationservers.

Creating a configuration profile

Use the Domino Configuration database (SETUP.NSF for MicrosoftWindows NT/Intel; SETUPWEB.NSF for IBM OS/2 Warp, MicrosoftWindows NT/Alpha, and UNIX), to create a configuration profile forDomino servers. A configuration profile sets default options for configuringa server, such as the server tasks to install, the servers Domino domain,and the certifier ID file to use. With a configuration profile, you canstandardize server configuration in your organization. This lets you quicklyconfigure standard types of servers, such as a mail server or an applicationserver, and helps maintain consistency in how servers are configured.

SETUP.NSF, for Microsoft Windows NT (Intel), lets you create multipleconfiguration profiles.

SETUPWEB.NSF, for all other R5 Domino server platforms, lets you createonly one configuration profile.

Creating a configuration profileTo create a configuration profile, do the following:

1. Copy the file SETUP.NSF or SETUPWEB.NSF, or both from the DominoR5 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 choosingFile - 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. PressESC, select the Configuration document in the view, and pressDELETE. Press F9 and click OK to delete the document. Press ESC.

Using configuration profiles

After creating one or more configuration profiles in the Domino ServerConfiguration database, copy the database to the installation location fromwhich 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 installationlocations with different versions of the Configuration database forexample, one location with settings for European servers and one locationwith settings for Asian servers.

Opening a configuration profileWhen you configure a Domino server using a Configuration databasecontaining a server profile, Domino automatically uses that profile toconfigure the server. If you are using SETUP.NSF and the database containsmore than one profile, Domino prompts the administrator to select a profileand then uses the specified profile.

If you are setting up multiple profiles in SETUP.NSF, tell administratorswhich profile to use for each server they configure.

Providing additional informationSome information cannot be provided in the configuration profile, such aspasswords for ID files. Tell administrators what passwords to use or allowthem to select their own passwords. In addition, you may have left someinformation to be specified during each configuration, such as the nameof the server. Tell administrators what name to use and provide anyadditional information they need to configure the server, such as whichDomino 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 asaved configuration profile, do the following:
