Configuring Lotus Domino settings

Before your users can view emails with Lotus Notes® or Lotus® iNotes®, and before they can export Lotus Notes email, you must configure the connection to the Lotus Domino® server.

About this task

Prerequisites:
  • The Lotus Domino server is installed on the same system as the eDiscovery Manager web client.
  • The Lotus Notes password manager is configured to bypass the password prompt in Lotus Notes.
Important: Your ability to perform tasks depends on the roles that were assigned to you. Only icons and menu options for tasks that are associated with your roles are visible to you. Be aware that this topic might include information that is not relevant to your roles.

To configure Lotus Domino settings:

Procedure

  1. On the Administration page, click Lotus Domino Settings in the Navigation pane.
  2. Configure Lotus Notes and Lotus iNotes viewing.
    1. Enter the name of the Lotus Domino server that the viewing database will reside on, then click Test Connection to verify that eDiscovery Manager can connect to the server.

      The viewing database temporarily stores email that users can view by using the Lotus Notes client.

    2. Enter the IP address of the Lotus Domino server.
    3. Enter a mail database template for creating the viewing database, for example, mail8.ntf. Optionally, precede the template name with a relative path, for example, myTemplates/mail8.ntf.
    4. Accept the default value of EDMMail.nsf or change the file name for the viewing database, for example, EDMViewMail.nsf. Optionally, precede the file name with a relative path, for example, myDirectory/EDMViewMail.nsf. Then click Create Database.

      The viewing database is created in the data directory on the Lotus Domino server.

    5. If you have Lotus iNotes users:
      1. Select the Enable Lotus iNotes viewing option.
      2. Enter the HTTP port on the Lotus Domino server.

        HTTP must be configured and running on the Lotus Domino server. HTTP is not started by default.

  3. Configure default values for the Native export format and optionally, any other export formats that export Lotus Notes email.
    1. Enter the name or IP address of the Lotus Domino server to which Lotus Notes email will be exported, then click Test Connection to verify that eDiscovery Manager can connect to the server.
    2. Enter a mail database template for creating export databases, for example, mail8.ntf. Optionally, precede the template name with a relative path, for example, myTemplates/mail8.ntf. The template must exist in the data directory on the Lotus Domino server.
  4. Click Apply.

Results

Your changes are immediately visible to you. Your changes will take effect for all new eDiscovery Manager web client sessions and for all new tasks. Existing eDiscovery Manager sessions and currently running tasks will continue to operate under the configuration settings that were in place when the users of those sessions logged into the eDiscovery Manager web client.
