You must update the Lotus®
Domino® Web server
configuration before you can use the web server with WebSphere® Application Server.
Before you begin
See the WebSphere
Application Server detailed system requirements page for information on the support levels of
Lotus
Domino Web
Server.
Refer to the Administration Help for your version of Domino for information about installing and setting up Domino servers on IBM® i.
The help database is shipped with Lotus
Domino.
About this task
Configure each instance of a Domino server on your IBM i
server.
Procedure
-
Define your web server in the application server configuration.
-
Start Qshell.
On the CL command line, enter STRQSH.
-
Move to the directory where the configuration resides.
At the Qshell prompt, run the
command:
cd app_server_root/bin
-
Specify a name and a port for your Domino Server.
At the Qshell prompt, run the command:
configureOs400WebServerDefinition -webserver.name yourDominoServer \
-webserver.type DOMINO \
-webserver.port
port
The yourDominoServer variable is the name of your Domino server. The
port variable is the HTTP port for your Domino Server.
To use a non-default WebSphere Application Server profile, specify the -profileName
myProfile parameter when you run the configureOs400WebserverDefinition
script.
-
Generate the plugin-cfg.xml file.
From the Qshell prompt, run this
command:
GenPluginCfg -webserver.name yourDominoServer
If
you specified a profile name in the previous step, specify the -profileName
myProfile parameter when you run the GenPluginCfg script.
-
Write down the location of the plugin-cfg.xml file.
You need this information in the next step.
-
Update the Domino server notes.ini file.
-
Enter the Work with Domino Servers (WRKDOMSVR) command on the CL command line.
-
For the appropriate Domino server instance, specify option 13 (Edit NOTES.INI) to edit the server
notes.ini file.
-
Add this line to the end of the notes.ini file:
WebSphereInit=plugin-file
The plugin-file variable is the fully-qualified path of the
plugin-cfg.xml file that you generated in the previous step.
-
Press F3 twice to save and exit the notes.ini
file
-
Start the Domino server.
-
Verify that your user profile has *JOBCTL special authority.
-
On the CL command line, enter the strdomsvr command.
-
Press F4 to have the system prompt you for the server name.
-
Type the server name in the field provided.
If you are not sure of the name, press F4 to display a list of Domino servers on your
IBM i server.
-
Press Enter.
While the system is starting the Domino server, you see a message indicating that the server is starting. If
the message appears for more than 1 or 2 minutes, the server might 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.
-
Enable the WebSphere Application Server DSAPI filter.
-
From a Lotus Notes® client connected to the appropriate Domino server, edit the Domino document.
The document is in the Domino server Domino Directory. The name of the file is
names.nsf.
For example, open your browser to
http://your.server.name:port/names.nsf,
where the
your.server.name variable is the name of your
IBM i server and the
port variable is your
web server port.
Enter your Domino administrator user name and password. For additional techniques used
to edit the Domino
document, refer to the Domino documentation.
-
Within the server document, select the Internet Protocols tab and then
the HTTP tab.
-
For DSAPI filter file names, type:
/QSYS.LIB/product_library.LIB/LIBDOMINO.SRVPGM
Verify that you do not have a space before or after this command or the filter fails.
-
Save and exit the Domino server document.
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.
-
Stop and restart the Domino server HTTP task.
-
Enter the Work with Domino Servers (WRKDOMSVR) command on the CL command line.
-
For your Domino server instance, specify option 8 (Work console) to select the
Domino server
console.
-
From the Domino server console, enter the following command to stop the Domino server HTTP task.
-
From the Domino server console, enter the following command to start the Domino server HTTP task.
