Configuration parameters
Caution
The KeepManagementURL setting in your notes.ini is the URL needed for the Domino REST API Domino task to talk to the Java side of Domino REST API. By default, this is set to http. If you have updated your security to https, you must update this URL. For more information, see Domino REST API task.
Configuration
Domino REST API comes with reasonable default configuration settings. They allow you to start evaluating and testing out-of-the-box. For an actual deployment, you want to understand the details as outlined here.
Understanding configuration
The configuration follows the concept of and Overlay File System, where the base configuration is retrieved from the jar file and then overlaid with all the JSON files (if present) in the keepconfig.d directory within the Notes data directory and finally, the environment parameters, if any of those exist.
Environment
Parameters are case sensitive.

|---|---|
| PORT: 8880 | HTTP(S) port for the Domino REST API service. |
| ADMINPORT: 8889 | HTTP Port for the Admin listener. It should not be reachable from outside. |
| METRICSPORT: 8890 | Endpoint for Prometheus Metrics. |
| GodeMode: true/false | Should local users in KeepConfig be recognized. |

Configuration retrieval
