Configure portal to recognize Lotus Domino and Collaborative Services

You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the server (either an Lotus Domino or 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.

  1. Stop WebSphere Portal:

    1. Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:

      • Windows: profile_root\bin

      • UNIX: profile_root/bin

      • i5/OS: profile_root/bin

    2. 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 admin_password

      • UNIX: ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

      • i5/OS: stopServer WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

  2. Locate the CSEnvironment.properties file and make a backup copy before changing any values. The file is located in the following directory:

    • Windows: profile_root\portalserver\config\config

    • UNIX: profile_root/portalserver/config/config

    • i5/OS: profile_root/portalserver/config/config

  3. Use a text editor to modify the CSEnvironment.properties file, and set appropriate values for the following properties, based on your 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:

    false

    CS_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.com

    CS_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

    i5/OS: Default Value:

    389

    CS_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

  4. Save the changes to CSEnvironment.properties.

  5. Restart the portal server:

    1. Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:

      • Windows: profile_root\bin

      • UNIX: profile_root/bin

      • i5/OS: profile_root/bin

    2. 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

      • i5/OS: startServer WebSphere_Portal
