Configure the My Places portlet

Use the My Places portlet to display all LotusQuickrplaces that you are a member of, public places, places that you can access, and places that you have marked as Favorites. The My Places portlet comes with WebSphere Portal and is also available from the Websphere Portal Business Solutions Catalog.

The My Places portlet is supported with IBM Lotus Quickr services for Domino 8.x and IBM Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal 8.1.x. The instructions below explain how to configure the portlet for use with Lotus Quickr services for Domino 8.x. For information on configuring the My Places portlet with Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal 8.1.x, see Technote 1286184.

To connect the portal to Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal 8.5, use the Lotus Quickr Places Catalog portlet. This portlet is not supported for use with Lotus Quickr services for Domino 8.5. See the Related information section below for details on downloading this portlet.

1. Verify that Lotus Quickr Services for Domino is configured properly to communicate with WebSphere Portal:
   Open the notes.ini file in a text editor and verify that JavaUserClassesExt specifies the location of the quickplace.jar file.

   For example, if quickplace.jar is located in QPJC1, the parameter looks like this:

   JavaUserClassesExt=QPJC1,QPJC2,QPJC3,QPJC4,QPJC5

   QPJC1=<domino_data>/quickplace.jar}}}

   where domino_data is the Lotus Quickr installation data directory. For example: c:/Lotus/Domino/data

2. Enable the QPServlet code as follows:

   1. Locate the Domino Data servlets.properties file, typically stored in the same location as the notes.ini file (In Lotus Domino8.5.1, the notes.ini file is in c:/Lotus/Domino, while the servlets.properties file is in c:/Lotus/Domino/data.). If the servlets.properties file does not exist, use a text editor to create it.

   2. Open servlets.properties in a text editor and add this line if it is not already there:
      servlet.QPServlet.code=com.lotus.quickplace.util.QPServlet This line is case-sensitive.

   3. Add the following line to servlets.properties:
      servlet.QPServlet.initArgs=enablePortal=true This line is case-sensitive.

   4. Add a carriage return after the new line.

   5. Save and close the servlets.properties file.

3. Enable the Domino Servlet Manager as follows:

   1. On the Lotus Domino server, check for the c:/Lotus/Domino/data/domino/servlet directory. If the directory does not exist, create it.

   2. In the Server document of the Lotus Quickr server, go to the Internet Protocols > Domino Web Engine tab.
      Ensure that the Java Servlet Support field is set to Domino Servlet Manager. If needed, edit the Server document and set the field to the required value, save the updated document, and then restart the HTTP task in Domino by entering the following commands on the server console:

      tell http quit

      load http

   3. To configure the My Places portlet to find places on Quickr Domino server, update the CSEnvironment.properties file as follows:
      CS_SERVER_QUICKPLACE.enabled=true

      CS_SERVER_QUICKPLACE_1.hostname=quickrserver.domain.com

      CS_SERVER_QUICKPLACE_1.version=3.0

      CS_SERVER_QUICKPLACE_1.protocol=http

      CS_SERVER_QUICKPLACE_1.port=80

      Save the updated file and then restart the portal server.

4. To set the WAS group setting from none to everyone, which enables the portlet to show places:

   1. Log in to the WAS console. If this is a clustered environment, log on to the Deployment Manager Administrative Console.

   2. Click Application Types -> WebSphere enterprise applications -> PA_MyTeamspaces.

   3. Click Security role to user/group mapping.

   4. Check the All authenticated users check box and then select Everyone from the Map Special Subjects drop-down menu.

   5. Click OK.

   6. Click Save.

   7. Log out of the WAS console.

   8. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.
