Critical choices for Lotus Domino in a portal site
The following table lists choices common to Lotus Domino installation on most or all platforms, with recommendations for use of Lotus Domino with the portal. Because specific installation steps differ between platforms, the descriptions of the choices are general; do not expect to see the exact wording of the choice when installing for your platform and release. The options highlighted in this table are a subset of all choices you make during installation; in general, if not specified, accept default options.
In addition to these choices, before installation, see Planning for collaborative servers and portlets, which describes several common types of collaborative portal sites, and includes considerations related to platform, user directories, security, and performance.
Be sure to keep a record of all names and passwords you specify, and all directories where the installation programs install software.
| Procedure | Decision point | Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Lotus Domino Server Setup program | First server versus additional server | Your Lotus Domino LDAP server should be a first server, and messaging/application servers or underlying Lotus Domino servers for Lotus Sametime or Lotus QuickPlace should be additional. |
| Organization name and certifier | Use the certifier id you create on the first Lotus Domino server to register subsequent Lotus Domino servers in the portal site. | |
| Administrator name | | |
| Services (servers) | Enable HTTP (or Web Browsers) and DIIOP on all Lotus Domino servers in your site, and LDAP on the Lotus Domino LDAP server. The DIIOP service may appear under a Customize option in the server setup program. | |
| Lotus Domino Administrator client software setup (wizard) | Administrator name | Use the same name you did for Lotus Domino server setup. |
After you install and set up the first Lotus Domino server in your site, create certifier ids that you can use to register subsequent Lotus Domino servers. For more information, see Server registration in the Lotus Domino 7 Administrator Help.
