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.
Integrating with other applications
HCL iNotes® can be integrated with HCL Sametime® and HCL Connections™.
Setting up iNotes® with Sametime®
HCL iNotes® integrates an instant messaging (IM) capability so that users can chat with others online and maintain an instant messaging list that shows the online status of others.
Setting up Sametime® and iNotes® in different domains
You can set up a cross-domain configuration when the HCL Sametime® server and the HCL iNotes® server are located in different domains.

- 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.
    - 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™.
      - Setting up iNotes® with Sametime®
        HCL iNotes® integrates an instant messaging (IM) capability so that users can chat with others online and maintain an instant messaging list that shows the online status of others.
        Setting up Sametime® and iNotes® in different domains
        You can set up a cross-domain configuration when the HCL Sametime® server and the HCL iNotes® server are located in different domains.
        Using iNotes® with Sametime® and the Sametime® proxy server
        The HCL Domino® 9.0 release requires at least HCL Sametime® Proxy server version 8.5.2 IFR1.
        Troubleshooting Sametime® in iNotes®
        If instant messaging icons do not display in HCL iNotes® mail and the contact list, you look for causes.
      - Integrating Connections files with iNotes®
        You can make file sharing easier for HCL iNotes® users by specifying mail policy settings that save network resources and improve efficiency by integrating iNotes with HCL Connections™ files. As an alternative to sending attachments, users can insert links to files that have been uploaded to Connections. Where possible, the files that are being linked to are shared with the recipients at send time. Users can upload received attachments to Connections Files and then remove the attachment from the email and replace it with a link to the newly uploaded file to save space it their mail file. Connections 3.6 and more recent versions are supported for integration with iNotes.
      - Integrating iNotes® with HCL Connections™ Docs
        Provide HCL iNotes® users the ability to view documents with HCL Connections™ Docs. You can allow users to view all supported document file types or you can specify which of the supported file types users are allowed to view with HCL Connections™ Docs.
    - 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.

Setting up Sametime® and iNotes® in different domains

You can set up a cross-domain configuration when the HCL Sametime® server and the HCL iNotes® server are located in different domains.

Procedure

Cross certify both domains with each other. This step is necessary only if the Sametime® server uses HCL Domino® authentication instead of LDAP.
Configure directory assistance on the Sametime® server as needed:
- If Sametime® uses native Domino® authentication, then directory assistance must point to the iNotes® server, using the HCL Notes® protocol instead of LDAP.
- If Sametime® was installed to use LDAP, then directory assistance is configured automatically, and nothing further is necessary.
If you have set up single sign on (SSO), go to Step 4.
Create a server document for the Sametime® server in the Domino® Directory of the iNotes® server, completing the following fields:
- Server name
- Domain name
- Fully qualified Internet host name
- Is this a Sametime® server?
