Portal Express, Version 6.0
Operating systems: i5/OS, Linux, Windows
Domino-WebSphere Portal Express Integration wizard
The Domino-WebSphere Portal Express Integration wizard configures IBM Lotus Domino LDAP and messaging/application servers and IBM Lotus Sametime servers to support messaging and Lotus Sametime portlets...
- Common Mail and Common Calendar
- Domino Web Access
- Lotus Notes View
- Sametime Contact List
- Who Is Here
- Lotus Web Conferencing
It does not work with any other LDAP directories or a portal configured with Computer Associates eTrust SiteMinder, and it does not configure the IBM Lotus QuickPlace server or portlets, or the Domino Document Manager portlet or software.

| Lotus Sametime server trust configuration | Lotus Sametime server |
| Lotus Web Conferencing portlet server configuration | Lotus Sametime server |
Prerequisites
- The wizard can identify all Lotus Domino servers in your domain for integration, so you need to know all servers you want to include.
- You must already have installed and set up the Lotus Domino servers you want to use the wizard to integrate into the portal site.
The features of Lotus Domino and Lotus Sametime that you want to use in WebSphere Portal Express must also be working on the Lotus Domino servers before integration into the portal site. You must have...
- A working Lotus Domino LDAP directory
- Mail databases in place and users with access to them
- Lotus Sametime awareness, chatting, and conferencing working on the Lotus Sametime server
- Domino Web Access client working with Lotus Sametime awareness.
- WebSphere Portal Express must be at least release 6.0.1, and all Lotus Domino servers...
- LDAP
- messaging/application
- underlying server on the Lotus Sametime server
...must be at least release 7.0.
WebSphere Portal Express must not be configured with clusters.
On i5/OS all Lotus Domino servers...
- LDAP
- messaging/application
- underlying server on the Lotus Sametime server
...must be at least release 7.0.2 with Cumulative Fix Pack 1.
- The LDAP task must be running on your Lotus Domino Directory server.
- All servers must be behind the same Internet security firewall, in the same Internet domain, and if they are Lotus Domino servers, in the same Lotus Domino domain.
- Security must be enabled on the portal server with the Lotus Domino LDAP
server. IBM recommends that you enable security by running the WebSphere Portal Express configuration wizard. The portal configuration wizard is located on the portal server.
If you choose not to run the portal configuration wizard, make sure that security has been manually enabled on the portal server.
- All Lotus Domino servers on which you intend to run the wizard must be running the HTTP server task so that the wizard can communicate over HTTP.
- The user who runs the wizard must provide an ID that is recognized as an Administrator in the Server document in the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) file on the Lotus Domino LDAP server.
- If you plan to use the wizard to integrate a Lotus Sametime server, the server must have an HTTP port specified. Specifying an HTTPS port as well allows for secure transmission of the LTPA token that the wizard copies.
Considerations for existing Web SSO environments
The wizard creates a fresh Web SSO (Single Sign-On) environment for all the Lotus Domino servers in your Lotus Domino domain that you choose to configure.
If your installation of Lotus Domino is new, or if your existing Lotus Domino and Lotus Sametime servers have no Web SSO documents in their Domino Directory applications (NAMES.NSF files), no further action is needed and you are ready to run the wizard.
If you do have one or more existing Web SSO documents, refer to the following checklist to evaluate whether your site is ready to run the wizard...
- If you have an existing Web SSO document in your Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF), check to see whether it has the name LtpaToken. If all Web SSO documents in your domain have other names, no further action is needed and you are ready to run the wizard. The wizard creates a document with this exact name and will not affect your existing documents with other names.
- If the document is called LtpaToken, check to see whether there are any copies of it on other Lotus Domino servers in your Lotus Domino domain that have different content (for example, with different servers listed in the document). The Web SSO document should always be created by replication so that its content is identical on all Lotus Domino servers. If you have documents with differing content, you need to correct the configuration before you can run the wizard.
- If the document is called LtpaToken and has the same content on all servers, check to see whether it was created by the Lotus Sametime server. A document created by the Sametime server before Web SSO is configured in Lotus Domino cannot be used with the wizard, and you need to correct this configuration.
- If the document is called LtpaToken, has the same content on all servers, and was not created by Lotus Sametime, check to see whether it was created by a different Lotus Domino administrator than the one who will run the wizard. You need to correct this configuration; for instructions, see the technote.
- If the document meets all the conditions above, but you do not plan to configure all the Lotus Domino servers currently listed in it, you need to correct this configuration to list only the servers you plan to use with the wizard.
