Configure Lotus Domino Web server

A Web server routes incoming requests to the application server for processing.

To configure an instance of Lotus Domino Web server to work with your WebSphere Application Server instance, follow these steps:

  1. Update the Domino server's notes.ini file.

    1. On the CL command line, run the Work with Domino Servers (WRKDOMSVR) command.
    2. For the Domino server instance, specify option 13 (Edit NOTES.INI) to edit the server's notes.ini file.
    3. Add this line to the end of the notes.ini file:
        WebSphereInit=/QIBM/UserData/WebASE51/ASE/instance/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml
      
      where instance is the name of your WebSphere Application Server instance.
    4. Press F3 twice to save and exit the notes.ini file.

  2. Start the Domino server.

    1. On the CL command line, type STRDOMSVR.
    2. Press F4.
    3. Type the name of the Domino Web server instance in the field provided. To display a list of server names that you can select from, press F4.
    4. Press Enter.

    Note: While the system is starting the Domino server, a message is displayed that indicates the server is starting. If the message remains for more than 1 or 2 minutes, the server may be waiting for you to enter a password. To determine if the server is waiting for a password, use the WRKDOMCSL command to start a server console session for the server. You can enter the password in this console session.

  3. Update the Domino server document.

    1. From a Lotus Notes client that is connected to your Domino server, edit the Domino server document. This file is located in the Domino server's Domino Directory. The name of the file is names.nsf.
    2. In the server document, click the Internet Protocols tab and then click the HTTP tab.
    3. Type this line in the DSAPI filter file names field:
        /QSYS.LIB/QIWE.LIB/LIBDOMINOH.SRVPGM

      Note: Ensure that there are no spaces before or after the command. If the field includes spaces, the filter fails.

    4. Save and exit the Domino server document.

    Note: To use the Lotus Domino Web server with WebSphere Application Server, you do not need to change the Java servlet support field in the Domino server document.

  4. Stop and restart the Domino server's HTTP task.

    1. From the CL command line, run the Work with Domino Servers (WRKDOMSVR) command.
    2. For your Domino server instance, specify option 8 (Work console) to select the Domino server's console.
    3. From the Domino server's console, enter this command to stop the Domino server's HTTP task:
        tell http quit
    4. From the Domino server's console, enter this command to restart the Domino server's HTTP task:
        load http
