Configuring users and servers
Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
Configuring iNotes®
HCL iNotes® provides HCL 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 HCL iNotes.
Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
Making Notes® links work in iNotes®
You can configure HCL iNotes® so that users can open HCL Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes. iNotes supports Notes links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an HCL Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.

- 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.
  - Understanding the Server document
    The Server document is set up when you register a server. It contains many of the settings that define how your server operates.
  - Policies
    Use Domino® policy settings to control how users work with Notes®. A policy is a document that identifies a collection of individual policy settings. Policy settings documents define a set of defaults that apply to the users and groups to which the policy is assigned. You can change policy settings and they will be automatically applied to the assigned users and groups.
  - Defining default settings for Notes® user registration
    Before you register new Notes® users, you can specify default settings that apply to all users. Default settings simplify user registration and ensure user settings consistency. You can define many default settings, such as what mail server users have or what certifier ID to use for user registration. You can also specify a default workstation execution control list (ECL) to protect data from unauthorized workstation access.
  - Using groups
    Groups are lists of users, groups, and servers that have common traits. They are useful for mailing lists and access control lists. Using groups can simplify administration tasks.
  - Replicas
    You can make a database available to users in different locations, on different networks, or in different time zones, by creating replicas of the database.
  - Calendars and scheduling
    The calendar and scheduling features allow users to check the free time of other users, schedule meetings with them, and reserve resources, such as conference rooms and equipment.
  - Editing the notes.ini file
    The Domino and Notes notes.ini files contain the settings required for the server and client to operate correctly. If you modify or add settings in a notes.ini file, do so cautiously and never edit the file directly with a text editor.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use HCL 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®
    HCL iNotes® provides HCL 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 HCL iNotes.
    - iNotes® ultra-light mode
      The ultra-light mode of HCL iNotes® is designed for use on a mobile device. It is also the accessible mode available on Microsoft™ Windows™ operating systems (Win32) using Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later.
    - Getting started with iNotes®
      After installing and configuring HCL Notes® and enabling HCL iNotes®, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
    - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
      HCL Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
    - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
      To create or enforce security settings for HCL iNotes® users, you must create a security policy settings document.
    - Desktop policy settings supported in iNotes®
      When applied to a user, these desktop policy settings lock down the associated user preferences in HCL iNotes®. Any existing policies previously assigned to iNotes users are enforced.
    - Editing the configuration settings document for iNotes®
      Many of the features you enable using the configuration settings document can also be configured using policies.
      - Secure mail for iNotes®
        To allow HCL iNotes® users to encrypt and digitally sign email messages, you must enable both the Encrypted mail support and the Name Resolution and Validation fields on the iNotes tab of the server's configuration settings document.
      - Adding a disclaimer to outgoing iNotes® messages
        You can add a disclaimer to outgoing HCL iNotes® messages. A disclaimer is a denial or a disavowal of legal responsibility for the contents of the message. In some countries, not having a proper disclaimer on messages may result in fines leveled by regulatory agencies.
      - Configuring alternate name support in iNotes®
        An alternate name is helpful when a user wants to use his or her native language and character set to type, display, and look up names. For example, users can type a name in a native language and character set when sending mail. A user's primary name is recognizable to an international audience; an alternate name is recognizable to the user's native language.
      - Using browser cache management
        Use browser cache management to improve client side performance and security of HCL iNotes® sessions on Internet Explorer by controlling which entries are stored in the cache and which are removed when the iNotes session ends.
      - Making calendar details available to all users
        You can make calendar details available to all users with settings on the server's configuration settings document.
      - Making Notes® links work in iNotes®
        You can configure HCL iNotes® so that users can open HCL Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes. iNotes supports Notes links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an HCL Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.
      - Setting a maximum attachment size
        You can set a maximum attachment size other than the default value.
      - Specifying notes.ini file settings for HCL iNotes®
        A number of notes.ini file settings are available, some also represented in policy documents, to help you tune your configuration of HCL iNotes®. This section contains many of the notes.ini file settings for iNotes, but is not a comprehensive list due to the fact that some have been replaced by settings in the server configuration document.
    - Renaming an iNotes® user
      You rename an HCL iNotes® user who has an iNotes ID and an HCL Notes® certified public key located in their person document in the Domino® Directory the same way you rename a Notes user.
    - Integrating with other applications
      HCL iNotes® can be integrated with HCL Sametime® and HCL Connections™.
    - Customizing iNotes®
      Once HCL iNotes® has been installed and configured, you can customize your implementation in the following ways:
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the HCL Domino® Web server, and the Domino Web Navigator.
  - 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.
  - Configuring Widgets and Live Text
    Widgets and Live Text enables end users to see and act on Live Text in supported documents, including HCL Notes® mail, using XML extensions (widgets) created specifically for their use.
  - Domain Search
    Notes® client and Web users can use Domain Search to search an entire Domino® domain for database documents, files, and attachments that match a search query.

Making Notes® links work in iNotes®

You can configure HCL iNotes® so that users can open HCL Notes® links (document, view, or application links) in either a new browser window or in Notes®. iNotes® supports Notes® links to any server, as long as the user has access to the application to which the link connects and the application is on an HCL Domino® server in the local area network. This is also useful for iNotes users who reply with history or forward a thread with Notes links back to a Notes user. You can also configure the server to offer Notes links only or Web links only.
