Creating the Domino® Web Server Configuration database

You use the HCL Domino® Web Server Configuration database to map custom messages that you create. These messages can be those that browser users receive when they access a Web application, or they can be custom HTML pages that you use for session-based authentication of Web users with a name and password.

Procedure

  1. Make sure the Web server exists (is properly set up).
  2. From the Domino® Administrator, choose File > Application > New.
  3. Under Server, enter the name of the Domino® server on which you want to create this database.
  4. Select the Domino® Web Server Configuration template from the Advanced Templates list.
  5. For Title, enter a name for the database.
  6. For File name, enter DOMCFG.NSF.
    Important: The database must have this file name. Do not give it a unique name that you create.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Edit the database ACL as follows to control anonymous access:
    • Set the 'Default' entry to No Access, with Read Public Documents selected.
    • Add the entry Anonymous and set it to No Access, with Read Public Documents selected.
    Note: If you created the database from the domcfg5.ntf template provided with Domino V12 or a later version, the database ACL is correctly configured for anonymous access and this step is unnecessary.
  9. Map custom Web server messages.
