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 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.
Integrating with other applications
IBM® iNotes® can be integrated with IBM Sametime®, IBM Quickr®, IBM Docs and IBM Connections.

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.
  - iNotes® ultra-light mode
    The ultra-light mode of IBM® 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 IBM Notes and enabling IBM iNotes, perform these tasks to enable users to get up and running with iNotes.
  - Creating mail policy settings for iNotes® users
    IBM® Domino® administrators can use a number of mail policy settings.
  - Creating security policy settings for iNotes® users
    To create or enforce security settings for IBM® 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 IBM® 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 IBM® iNotes® user who has an iNotes ID and an IBM 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
    IBM® iNotes® can be integrated with IBM Sametime®, IBM Quickr®, IBM Docs and IBM Connections.
    - Setting up Quickr® integration with iNotes®
      IBM® Quickr® has been integrated with IBM iNotes®.
    - Setting up iNotes® with Sametime®
      IBM® 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.
    - Integrating Connections files with iNotes®
      You can make file sharing easier for IBM® iNotes® users by specifying mail policy settings that save network resources and improve efficiency by integrating iNotes with IBM 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 IBM® Docs
      Provide IBM® iNotes® users the ability to view documents with IBM 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 IBM Docs.
  - Customizing iNotes®
    Once IBM® 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 IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
- Domino® Off-Line Services
  Domino® Off-Line Services (DOLS) provides a way for users to take Domino Web applications offline, work in them, and synchronize the changes with an online replica on the Domino server. Users are not required to have Notes® client because the applications are accessed with a browser.
- 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.

Integrating with other applications

IBM® iNotes® can be integrated with IBM® Sametime®, IBM® Quickr®, IBM® Docs and IBM® Connections.

To provide users with the ability to work offline and use IBM® Sametime® you can integrate iNotes® with Domino® Off-Line Services (DOLS) and Sametime® (instant messaging). DOLS enables users to work offline, disconnected from the network, and provides many replication features that Notes® users expect when working in the Notes® client. Sametime® provides integrated, real-time chat features for iNotes® users. Neither DOLS nor Sametime® are required for iNotes® use.

You can make file sharing easier for iNotes® users by specifying mail policy settings that save network resources and improve efficiency by integrating iNotes® with IBM® Connections Files. As an alternative to sending attachments, users can insert links to files that have been uploaded to Files.

Provide iNotes® users the ability to view documents with IBM® 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 IBM® Docs.

Note: Be aware that, when logging into integrated applications from iNotes® (such as Sametime®, Quickr®, or Connections Files) without using single sign-on, the login request inherits the same protocol as the parent iNotes® page. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the iNotes® browser URL always uses https, not just when logging into iNotes®, so that the login to the other application occurs using Secure Sockets Layer.
