Configure the Domino web server
Configure the communication between IBM WebSphere Portal and the IBM Domino web server.
- Edit the NOTES.INI file on the web server. Set the HTTPEnableConnectorHeaders and HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent parameters to 1. Also, if we are using WebDAV, enable it in the Domino web server administrative console.
- Stop the web server.
- Install and configure the web server plug-in on the system where the web server is located. Use the plug-ins installation wizard provided with WAS. Refer to the following topic for information:
Depending on how we use the web server, we must adjust the ServerIOTimeout parameter. It defines how long the plug-in must wait for a response from the application. The minimum value is 60 but we must increase this value if we are retrieving data from a database. To update this value, locate and open plugin-cfg.xml and set ServerIOTimeout to an appropriate value. For information, read Common questions about the Web server plug-in.
- Web 2.0 REST features in portal might require an enabled PUT and DELETE method. If the web server has these methods disabled, complete one of the following options:
- Enable HTTP tunneling to simulate PUT and DELETE requests, which means that POST requests are used instead. See the "Switch for tunneling of HTTP methods" link for information.
- Follow the instructions for the web server to enable PUT and DELETE requests.
- Start the web server.
- Optional: If we want to use the short version of vanity URLs, add a rewrite rule to the web server. For more information, read Provide short vanity URLs.
