Configuring your Domino web server
Configure the communication between HCL Portal and your HCL Domino web server.
-
Edit the NOTES.INI file on the web server. Set the HTTPEnableConnectorHeaders and HTTPAllowDecodedUrlPercent parameters to 1. Also, if you are using WebDAV, enable it in the Domino® web server administrative console.
-
Stop the web server.
-
Install and configure the web server plug-in on the system where the web server is located. Use the plug-ins installation wizard that is provided with WebSphere® Application Server. Refer to the following topic for information:
- AIX®, Linux™, Windows™: Selecting a Web server topology diagram and road map
Important
Depending on how you use the web server, you must adjust the ServerIOTimeout parameter. It defines how long the plug-in must wait for a response from the application. The minimum value is 60 but you must increase this value if you are retrieving data from a database. To update this value, locate and open your plugin-cfg.xml file and set ServerIOTimeout to an appropriate value. For information, read Common questions about the Web server plug-in.

Web 2.0 REST features in portal might require an enabled PUT and DELETE method. If your web server has these methods disabled, complete one of the following options:
- Enable HTTP tunneling to simulate PUT and DELETE requests, which means that POST requests are used instead. See the Switch for tunneling of HTTP methods link for information.
- Follow the instructions for your web server to enable PUT and DELETE requests.
-
Start the web server.
