Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring Web servers
This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
The Web Navigator
The Web Navigator lets Notes® workstations access the Web, without having a direct connection to the Internet. The Web Navigator server, which has a direct connection to the Internet, retrieves pages for users. The Web Navigator retrieves pages on Internet servers -- for example, servers that use Internet services such as HTTP, FTP, or Gopher.
The Web Navigator database
The Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) resides on the Web Navigator server and stores all pages that users retrieve from Web sites. Storing Web pages in a central database reduces connection costs, since after one user retrieves a page, the page is available in the database for others to browse.

Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
    - The Domino® Web server
      Domino® provides an integrated Web application server that can host Web sites that both Internet and intranet clients can access, and that can serve up pages that are stored in the file system or in a Domino database.
    - The Web Navigator
      The Web Navigator lets Notes® workstations access the Web, without having a direct connection to the Internet. The Web Navigator server, which has a direct connection to the Internet, retrieves pages for users. The Web Navigator retrieves pages on Internet servers -- for example, servers that use Internet services such as HTTP, FTP, or Gopher.
      - Setting up a Web Navigator server
        The first time you start the Web task, Domino® creates the Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) and enters default settings for the Web Navigator database.
      - Customizing the Web Navigator
        After you set up the Web Navigator on a server, you can customize it.
      - The Web Navigator database
        The Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) resides on the Web Navigator server and stores all pages that users retrieve from Web sites. Storing Web pages in a central database reduces connection costs, since after one user retrieves a page, the page is available in the database for others to browse.
      - Customizing the Web Navigator database
        You can customize the Web Navigator database in a number of different ways.
    - Setting up Domino® to work with IBM® HTTP Servers
      You can install an IBM HTTP server module on the same computer as an IBM Domino server if the two servers must reside on the same computer and support TLS.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.
- Securing
  This section describes IBM® Domino® security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and SSL.
- Administering
  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
- Tuning
  Use this information to improve IBM® Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with IBM® Domino® server and Administrator client.
- Glossary

The Web Navigator database

The Web Navigator database (WEB.NSF) resides on the Web Navigator server and stores all pages that users retrieve from Web sites. Storing Web pages in a central database reduces connection costs, since after one user retrieves a page, the page is available in the database for others to browse.

The Web Navigator database contains features for Notes® users and administrators.

Database access
The default user access for the Web Navigator database is Editor, which allows users to create HTML forms, Recommendation documents, and Web tours. Domino® adds the administrator names listed in the Administrators field in the Server document for the Web Navigator server to the ACL for the Web Navigator database and gives them Manager access with the WebMaster role.
Administration document
The Administration document is stored in the Web Navigator database and controls default settings for the database. You must have the WebMaster role to access the document. Open WEB.NSF and access the document from the Actions menu.
Agents
The Web Navigator database contains three agents that administrators can use to manage documents in the database. The Purge agent removes documents that meet the criteria you specify. Regularly purging documents keeps the size of the Web Navigator database manageable.

The Refresh agent updates the contents of pages stored in the Web Navigator database with the Web site content from which they were originally retrieved. Pages in the database are not automatically updated after they are retrieved; therefore, the page content may quickly become outdated unless you use this agent.

The Averaging agent creates an average rating of user-recommended pages. The ten highest-rated pages are listed in the Recommended by Top Ratings view.
Web tours and Recommendation documents
Web tours and Recommendation documents allow users to collaborate with others who use the Web Navigator database.

Using a Web tour document, users can group a set of Web pages for others to view sequentially -- for example, to create training materials or to collect a set of pages that you previously viewed on the Web.

Using a recommendation document, users can add useful Web sites to the Web Navigator database.
