Configure the portal to recognize Lotus Domino and Collaborative Services
You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the server (either an IBMLotus Dominoor non-Lotus Domino server) running the LDAP service so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use that server to support features in Lotus Domino-based portlets. To configure the WebSphere Portal server, you update the CSEnvironment.properties file.
- Stop WebSphere Portal:
- Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:
Windows™: WP_PROFILE/bin
UNIX™: WP_PROFILE/bin
IBM i: WP_PROFILE/bin
- Enter the following command to stop the WebSphere_Portal server, where WebSphere_Portal is the name of the WebSphere Portal server:
Windows: stopServer.bat WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo
UNIX: ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo
IBM i: stopServer WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo
- Locate the CSEnvironment.properties file and make a backup copy before changing any values.
The file is located in...
Windows: WP_PROFILE/portalserver/config/config
UNIX: WP_PROFILE/portalserver/config/config
i: WP_PROFILE/portalserver/config/config
- Use a text editor to modify the CSEnvironment.properties file, and set appropriate values for the following properties, based on environment:
LDAP property Value CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY.enabled The property that determines whether the LDAP directory for Collaborative Services is enabled. Setting CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY.enabled to true enables this component. Setting the value to false disables it. Despite the name of the property, a non-Domino LDAP directory can be specified.
Recommended Value: true
Default Value: falseCS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.hostname The fully qualified distinguished name of the LDAP directory for Collaborative Services. Despite the name of the property, a non-Lotus Domino LDAP directory can be specified.
Recommended Value: my.server.com
Default Value: my.server.comCS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.port The port number for the LDAP directory for Collaborative Services. Despite the name of the property, a non-Lotus Domino LDAP directory can be specified.
Recommended Value: 389
Windows and UNIX: Default Value: 389
i: Default Value: 389CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.ssl The property that determines whether the LDAP directory for Collaborative Services is enabled to communicate over SSL. Despite the name of the property, a non-Lotus Domino LDAP directory can be specified. Setting CS_SERVER_DOMINO_DIRECTORY_1.ssl to true enables SSL.
Recommended Value (SSL): true
Recommended Value (non-SSL): false
Default Value: false
- Save the changes to CSEnvironment.properties.
- Restart the portal server:
- Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:
- Enter the following command to start the WebSphere_Portal server, where WebSphere_Portal is the name of the WebSphere Portal server:
Windows: startServer.bat WebSphere_Portal
UNIX: ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
IBM i: startServer WebSphere_Portal
