-DICinterServiceCommunitiesURL When this URL is specified, VMM uses the URL for interservice communication.
-DICinterServiceURL

The interServiceURL is used in the Siteminder and SPNEGO configuration. To get the value of the interservice URL, open the file LotusConnections-config.xml in the Connections deployment and get the value of the href attribute in the element <sloc:interService>. For example, If the element looks like this: <sloc:interService href="https://<host>:<port>"/>, the value you should pick is <host>:<port>.

For additional configuration changes needed for SiteMinder and SPNEGO configuration, see the topic Configure common directory services for the security configuration.
