About Lotus Domino servers in a portal site

A Lotus Domino server has several purposes in a IBM WebSphere Portal site. It can be a...

  • Domino Directory LDAP user registry server
  • Messaging/application server housing source data for Lotus Domino -based portlets
  • Prerequisite underlying server on a IBM Lotus Sametime or IBM Lotus QuickPlace server

In WebSphere Portal 6.0, Lotus Domino release 7.0 is the latest supported release. The installation documentation covers the following basic tasks you perform to complete a Lotus Domino server before you begin to integrate it with the portal site:

  • Install the Lotus Domino server software.

  • Run the Lotus Domino Server Setup program (using a wizard).

  • Install the Lotus Domino Administrator client software. We can use this software to perform important tasks on the server. You may also want to install the Notes Client and Notes Designer clients for e-mail and application development tasks.

  • Set up the Lotus Domino Administrator client software (using a wizard).

  • If this is the first Lotus Domino server in the portal site, register ids for subsequent servers.

 

Usage restrictions

You are authorized to install and use Domino Directory solely and exclusively in connection with the use of Lotus Sametime and Lotus QuickPlace. Consult the product license for details.

Critical choices for Lotus Domino in a portal site

The following table lists choices common to Lotus Domino installation on most or all platforms, with recommendations for use of Lotus Domino with the portal.

Before installation, see Planning for collaborative servers and portlets.

Keep a record of all names and passwords you specify, and all directories where the installation programs install software.

Procedure Decision point Recommendations
Lotus Domino Server Setup program First server versus additional server Our Lotus Domino LDAP server should be a first server, and messaging/application servers or underlying Lotus Domino servers for Lotus Sametime or Lotus QuickPlace should be additional.
Organization name and certifier Use the certifier id created on the first Lotus Domino server to register subsequent Lotus Domino servers in the portal site.
Administrator name
Services (servers) Enable HTTP (or Web Browsers) and DIIOP on all Lotus Domino servers in the site, and LDAP on the Lotus Domino LDAP server. The DIIOP service may appear under a Customize option in the server setup program.
Lotus Domino Administrator client software setup (wizard) Administrator name Use the same name you did for Lotus Domino server setup.

After you install and set up the first Lotus Domino server in the site, create certifier ids that we can use to register subsequent Lotus Domino servers. For more information, see Server registration in the Lotus Domino 7 Administrator Help.
