Welcome to the HCL Domino® 11.0.1 documentation. Here administrators can find information about planning, installing, configuring, and administering Domino 11.0.1.
Configuring
Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
Configuring directory services
This section describes how to plan, set up, and use HCL Domino® directory services.
Extended ACL
An extended access control list (ACL) is an optional directory access-control feature available for a directory created from the PUBNAMES.NTF template -- a Domino® Directory or an extended directory catalog. An extended ACL is tied to the database ACL, and you access it through the Access Control List dialog box using a Notes® or Domino Administrator client.
Extended ACL access settings
There are several access settings you use to control a subject's access to an extended ACL target. For each access setting you choose Allow or Deny. You can leave an access setting unchecked, but if you do, other subjects in the extended ACL or database ACL determine whether the subject is allowed or denied the access. It's better to select Allow or Deny to help ensure you get the access control results you expect.
Default access compared to form-specific access
When you set a subject's access to a selected target, you specify default access settings that generally apply to all types of documents at the selected target. Then you can also set form-specific access settings that are different than the default access settings. For example, by default you can deny a subject Browse and Read access, but then allow Browse access to Person and Group documents and Read access to the fields in those documents.

- Translated documentation
  The HCL Domino 11.0.1 documentation is currently available in the following languages.
- What's new in Domino® 11?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in HCL Domino® 11.
- Overview
  Welcome to HCL Domino® Administrator Help.
- Domino trial
  A trial version of HCL Domino® 11.0.1 is available free of charge.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the HCL Domino® server and subsequently deploy the HCL Notes®client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure your network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters.
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful HCL 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 Support recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use HCL Domino® directory services.
    - The Domino® Directory
      The Domino® Directory, which some previous releases referred to as the Public Address Book or Name and Address Book, is a database that Domino creates automatically on every server. The Domino Directory is a directory of information about users, servers, and groups, as well as custom entries you may add. Registering users and servers in a domain automatically creates corresponding Person documents and Server documents in the Domino Directory for the domain. These documents contain detailed information about each user and server.
    - The LDAP service
      Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a standard Internet protocol for searching and managing entries in a directory, where an entry has one or more attributes associated with a distinguished name. A distinguished name -- for example, cn=Phyllis Spera,ou=Sales,ou=East,o=Renovations -- is a name that identifies an entry within a directory tree.
    - LDAP schema
      A directory entry contains information about a particular entity, or object -- for example, a person or a group -- and is associated with a distinguished name. An LDAP schema is a set of rules that define what can be stored as entries in an LDAP directory. Each LDAP directory has a default schema, which organizations can customize, or "extend," by adding elements to it. The elements of a schema are attributes, syntaxes, and object classes. LDAP directory servers provide the ability to enforce the schema to ensure that directory changes made using LDAP operations conform to it.
    - ldapsearch utility
      Domino® and Notes® provide a command-line search utility, LDAPSEARCH.EXE, that you use to search entries in any LDAP directory. The ldapsearch utility connects to a directory server and returns results that match search criteria you specify. It is available on Domino server and Notes client platforms.
    - Directory assistance
      Directory assistance allows a server to look up information in a directory other than a local primary Domino® Directory (NAMES.NSF).
    - Directory Sync
      Directory Sync allows you to sync people and group data from an external LDAP directory into the Domino® directory. Currently data from Active Directory can be synced.
    - Directory catalogs
      A directory catalog is an optional directory database that typically contains information aggregated from multiple Domino® directories. Clients and servers can use a directory catalog to look up mail addresses and other information about the people, groups, mail-in databases, and resources throughout an organization, regardless of the number of Domino domains and Domino Directories the organization uses.
    - Extended ACL
      An extended access control list (ACL) is an optional directory access-control feature available for a directory created from the PUBNAMES.NTF template -- a Domino® Directory or an extended directory catalog. An extended ACL is tied to the database ACL, and you access it through the Access Control List dialog box using a Notes® or Domino Administrator client.
      - How other database security features restrict extended ACL access settings
        The access set for a user in an extended ACL can never exceed the access the database ACL, including the database ACL privileges and roles, allows the user. For example, if the database ACL allows a user only Reader access, you cannot use the extended ACL to allow Write access. Or if a user is omitted from the database ACL User Creator role, you can't use the extended ACL to allow the user Create access to Person documents.
      - Elements of an extended ACL
        To set up an extended ACL, you use the Extended Access at target dialog box, which you open from the database Access Control List dialog box.
      - Extended ACL access settings
        There are several access settings you use to control a subject's access to an extended ACL target. For each access setting you choose Allow or Deny. You can leave an access setting unchecked, but if you do, other subjects in the extended ACL or database ACL determine whether the subject is allowed or denied the access. It's better to select Allow or Deny to help ensure you get the access control results you expect.
        Default access compared to form-specific access
        When you set a subject's access to a selected target, you specify default access settings that generally apply to all types of documents at the selected target. Then you can also set form-specific access settings that are different than the default access settings. For example, by default you can deny a subject Browse and Read access, but then allow Browse access to Person and Group documents and Read access to the fields in those documents.
        Displaying LDAP attributes and object classes when setting form-specific access
        Use the Schema option in the "Form and Field access at target" dialog box to control whether the dialog box shows the directory contents in terms of LDAP object classes and attributes or in terms of Domino® forms and fields.
        Precedence rules used to resolve access conflicts at a target
        When you select a target in the Extended Access at: target dialog box, by default the dialog box shows all the subjects in the extended ACL with access settings to the target. Included are subjects whose access is set at and inherited from a higher target through the scope This container and all descendants. (You can select Show Modified to see only the subjects with access set directly at the target.)
      - Extended ACL subject
        An extended ACL subject is a name for which you are setting access to a selected extended ACL target. To add a subject to an extended ACL, you select the target and then click Add in the "Extended Access at target" dialog box.
      - Extended ACL target
        You select a target to specify either a category of documents or a specific document to which you are controlling a subject's access. Selecting a category of documents as a target is recommended because you can set access to multiple documents at once and because the access applies to documents added to the category in the future.
      - Extended ACL examples
        Review the topics in the related information for examples of how to use extended ACLs.
      - Extended ACL guidelines
        Plan an extended ACL on paper before you implement it. After you have planned the extended ACL on paper, test it in a nonproduction environment before deploying it.
      - Setting up and managing an extended ACL
        Use these tasks to set up and manage an extended ACL.
    - Setting up Domino® Active Directory synchronization (Deprecated)
      When the Domino® server is installed on a Microsoft™ Windows™ 2003 server, as an administrator, you typically need to maintain two separate directories for the same set of people and groups. Maintaining user and group information involves adding entries to both directories, deleting entries, ensuring that passwords are the same when users use Notes® Single Logon, coordinating group membership in both directories, and ensuring that user or group settings, such as email addresses and telephone numbers, are identical.
  - Configuring messaging

Default access compared to form-specific access

When you set a subject's access to a selected target, you specify default access settings that generally apply to all types of documents at the selected target. Then you can also set form-specific access settings that are different than the default access settings. For example, by default you can deny a subject Browse and Read access, but then allow Browse access to Person and Group documents and Read access to the fields in those documents.

Default access

About this task

You use the Extended Access at target dialog box to set a subject's default access to a target.

Form-specific access

About this task

You click Form and Field Access from the Extended Access at target dialog box to use the Form and Field access at target dialog box to set form-specific access settings that are exceptions to the selected subject's default access at the selected target.

Note: The Administer access setting is available only as a default access setting, and not as a form-specific access setting.
