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.
- Stop WebSphere Portal:
- Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:
- Windows: profile_root\bin
- UNIX: profile_root/bin
- i5/OS: profile_root/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 admin_password
- UNIX: ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
- i5/OS: stopServer WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
- 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
- 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
- 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
- i5/OS: startServer WebSphere_Portal
