CONFIGURING


Binding an Internet service to an IP address

If the HCL Domino® server has multiple HCL Notes® network ports for TCP/IP (NRPC ports) and the server is also hosting the SMTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, Domino IIOP (DIIOP) or Internet Cluster Manager (ICM) service, you must specify the NRPC port that you want the service to use in the NOTES.INI file. If you do not specify an NRPC port for an Internet service, by default the service will use the port listed first in the Ports setting in the NOTES.INI file. You can specify the same NRPC port for multiple Internet services.

To bind the SMTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, DIIOP, or ICM service

About this task

Bind each NRPC port to an IP address. If you don't know the port name to enter for an NRPC port, open the Server document, click the Ports -> Notes Network Ports tab, and look at the ports associated with the TCP protocol.

Procedure

In the NOTES.INI file, specify the appropriate NRPC port for each Internet service using the information provided in the table.


Example

The following example shows the lines (in bold) to add to the Ports section of the NOTES.INI file to bind two NRPC ports to their IP addresses and to specify the second NRPC port for the SMTP service. Domino adds the lines that are not bold when you use either the Domino Server Setup program or the Domino Administrator's Setup Ports dialog box to enable a port.

To bind the HTTP service

About this task

For the Domino Web server (HTTP service), you use the Server document to bind HTTP to a host name IP address.

Procedure

1. On the Internet Protocols -> HTTP tab of the Server document, enter one or more IP addresses or FQDNs for the server in the Host name(s) field.

2. Select Enabled in the Bind to host name field.


Example

The following examples illustrate how to designate IP address values in the Host name(s) field for a Domino partition that runs multiple sites or virtual servers.

In the first example, a partition runs a virtual host that includes two web sites. One web site, sales.renovations.com, uses the same IP address as the partition, and the other, accounting.renovations.com, has its own IP address.

Enter the following in the Host name(s) field:

9.88.43.113;9.88.46.110

In this example:

9.88.43.113 is the IP address for both the partition and the Web site sales.renovations.com.

9.88.46.110 is the IP address for the Web site accounting.renovations.com.

In the next example, a Domino partition serves as a virtual host, sales.renovations.com, that runs two virtual servers, accounting.renovations.com, and northeastsales.renovations.com. The partition and virtual host share a single IP address, while each of the two virtual servers has its own unique IP address.

Enter the following in the Host name(s) field:

9.88.43.113;9.88.46.114;9.88.46.115

In this example:

9.88.43.113 is the IP address for both the partition and the virtual host sales.renovations.com.

9.88.46.114 is the IP address for virtual server 1 (accounting.renovations.com).

9.88.46.115 is the IP address for virtual server 2 (northeastsales.renovations.com).
