IBM Lotus Domino servers that contain source Notes databases are required for all the portlets that allow users to display and work with Notes mail databases (for example, Lotus Notes View, Common Mail, Domino Web Access) or Notes applications (for example, Lotus Notes View, Domino Document Manager, or the Lotus QuickPlace portlets). Your portal site may include one or many such messaging/application servers.

The Domino-WebSphere Portal Express Integration Wizard can do parts of this task for you. The wizard sets servers to start the DIIOP task, and gives users browser access to Notes-based portlets. However, the wizard does not set Lotus Domino servers to run the HTTP task; perform that task manually as a prerequisite to running the wizard. The wizard also does not help set up awareness and chat features as described below for either the Lotus Notes View or Domino Web Access portlets; if you want those features in those portlets, still perform those tasks manually.

This topic provides information for configuring a Lotus Domino server in your Lotus Domino domain to support messaging and application portlets. Collaborative Services can communicate with Lotus Domino messaging/application servers over HTTP and DIIOP. The HTTP (Web server) task is required for any Lotus Domino portlet to work.

The DIIOP (Domino Internet Inter-Object Request Broker Protocol) task is optional, but supports a drop-down list of databases that appears when users personalize the Lotus Notes View, Domino Web Access, Domino Document Manager, My Lotus QuickPlaces, and Inline QuickPlace portlets.

If the DIIOP task is not started on the Lotus Domino server, users must manually enter a database name in a field to point a portlet to its source data file.

After you complete the tasks below, your Lotus Domino configuration will be ready for you to include any Lotus Domino messaging/application servers in single sign-on (SSO) as described in Configuring single sign-on between WebSphere Portal Express and Lotus Domino.

1. Start the DIIOP and HTTP tasks automatically on the Lotus Domino server
2. Give users browser access to Notes-based portlets
3. Specify a view column for awareness and chat in the Lotus Notes View portlet
4. Set up awareness and chat for Domino Web Access
