Overview

You run the Lotus Domino configuration task on the IBM WebSphere Portal server. Running the task allows the portal to recognize the presence of the server either...

IBM Lotus Domino

...or ...

non-Lotus Domino

...running the LDAP service, so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use the server to support features in Lotus Domino -based portlets, primarily auto-detection of mail files.

WebSphere Portal (which includes Collaborative Services) must be installed before we can run this task.

Commands are case sensitive.

During the instructions for this task, you will edit the wpconfig.properties file. Create a backup copy of this file before performing the following instructions.

For detailed information on working with property files, see...
