Administering Volt
The following topics contain information for HCL Domino Volt admins.
- Controlling who creates HCL Volt applications
  To configure who can create and delete applications, you need to modify the Access Control List (ACL) for VoltBuilder.nsf.
- Volt configuration settings
  Volt configuration settings are in VoltConfig.nsf in the volt folder of your Domino data directory (volt/VoltConfig.nsf). Use the Notes client or the Domino Administrator client to modify a configuration setting.
- Core Domino server configuration
  HCL Domino Volt is an add-on to the core HCL Domino server. Volt runs in the context of the Domino web server (HTTP process). Therefore, Volt is affected by the underlying Domino server configuration. This topic covers some of the core configuration settings that may affect Volt.
- Upgrading from prior releases
  Beginning with Volt 1.0.2, all Volt NSF files set the database property Don't Maintain Unread Marks as default, which should improve performance. NSF files created in prior versions of Volt are not changed.
- Adding a custom theme
- Volt Cleanup process
  Volt Cleanup primarily purges orphaned Builder attachments, orphaned application attachments, and old Preview databases. Prior to release 1.0.3, this process was done by the Volt Cleanup Agent.
- Enabling basic authentication for HCL Volt API requests
  If form-based authentication is enabled, you will see an HTML form for authentication instead of a pop-up window. This topic provides instructions on how to disable HTML form-based authentication for the HCL Volt server API URL paths and enable basic authentication.
- Securing your Volt deployment
- HCL Link integration
  HCL Link provides a platform for data and application integration.

Windows installation pre-requisites

Before you perform a Design Server installation, make sure that one of the following are installed on your computer:

Mongo DB Server version 4.0.5 (or later)
OneDB json Listener

Note: If you use OneDB as your back-end database instead of MongoDB, you must start the OneDB json listener first. Refer to OneDB product documentation for information about the OneDB json listener configuration and execution. Design Server and MongoDB, or OneDB json listener, are expected to run on the same computer.

Running Design Server and MongoDB, or OneDB json listener on different computers

If Design Server and MongoDB, or OneDB json listener run on different computers, you must configure the Design Server installation configuration settings.

To change the MongoDB, or OneDB json listener, server host and port configuration settings, edit the hip-server-env.bat file to match your environment. This file is located in the following location:

C:\HCL\Link_<version_number>\DesignServer\hip-server-env.bat

See the Customizing Redis and Design Server Database section for customization details.

If you have already installed REST API on your computer, you must uninstall it. Follow the steps in LNK REST API is installed on your computer.
