To configure WebSphere Portal Express to recognize Lotus Domino and the Collaborative Services run the Lotus Domino configuration task on the IBM WebSphere Portal Express server.
Running the task allows the portal to recognize the presence of the server (either an IBM Lotus Domino or non-Lotus Domino server) 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.
To run the configuration task...

Stop WebSphere Portal Express.
Linux:

cd was_profile_root/bin
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password

Windows:

cd was_profile_root\bin
stopServer.bat WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password

i5/OS:

cd app_server_root/bin
stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -profileName wp_profile -user admin_userid -password admin_password

Make backup copies of...
wpconfig.properties
wpconfig_dbdomain_config.properties

Windows:
portal_server_root\config

Linux:
portal_server_root/config

i5/OS (UserData):
