Hints and tips for installing QuickPlace 3.0.1 for use with WebSphere Portal

The following information is specific for installing QuickPlace 3.0.1, which is included with some editions of WebSphere Portal. Usage restrictions apply. For example, you are authorized to install and use QuickPlace solely and exclusively with WebSphere Portal. A separate license is required to access QuickPlace from a source other than WebSphere Portal. Consult the product license for details.

• Lotus Domino 5.0.12 is a prerequisite
  You must install and set up QuickPlace on a Domino server. Refer to Install Lotus Domino for information.
• Set up the LDAP directory that QuickPlace will use prior to installation
  It is recommended that you set up the LDAP directory that QuickPlace will use prior to installing QuickPlace. This includes setting up the required users and group. Also, it is recommended that you use Domino Directory as your LDAP service. Refer to Install Lotus Domino for information about installing Domino as an LDAP server. Refer to Set up LDAP for information on setting up LDAP for use with portal.
• The QuickPlace server requires a dedicated IP address on your iSeries system. Refer to the product documentation for more information.
• Before you install QuickPlace for use with Sametime
  The following information is specific for using QuickPlace with Sametime.

  • If you will use QuickPlace and Sametime together, follow specific setup instructions. For more information, see the following Lotus technotes:
