Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Binding an Internet service to an IP address

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Binding an Internet service to an IP address
If the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server has multiple Notes network ports for TCP/IP (NRPC ports) and the server is also hosting the SMTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, 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.

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

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

1. Bind each NRPC port to an IP address.

2. In the NOTES.INI file, specify the appropriate NRPC port for each Internet service as follows:

Note

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.

Service	Action
POP3	Enter POP3NotesPort=port name where port name is the name of the NRPC port that you want to link the service to.
IMAP	Enter IMAPNotesPort=port name where port name is the name of the NRPC port that you want to link the service to.
SMTP	Enter SMTPNotesPort=port name where port name is the name of the NRPC port that you want to link the service to.
LDAP	Enter LDAPNotesPort=port name where port name is the name of the NRPC port that you want to link the service to.
ICM	Enter ICMNotesPort=port name where port name is the name of the NRPC port that you want to link the service to.

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.

Ports=TCPIP, TCP1P2

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0

TCPIP_TCPIPAddress=0,10.33.52.1

TCPIP2=TCP, 0, 15, 0

TCPIP2_TCPIPAddress=0, 209.98.76.10

SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP2

Note 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

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.

Note If the server is a partitioned server and has Web sites configured with separate IP addresses, or has virtual servers (Domino 5) configured for one or more partitions, enter the partition's IP address, and each Web site or virtual server's IP address in the "Host name(s)" field, separated by semicolons. Alternatively, you can use FQDNs in this field. Do not list additional Web sites and virtual hosts that have IP addresses that are already listed in this field.

Example 1 -- Server partition with Web sites
The partition's host name is app01 and there are two Web sites configured for it: sales.acme.com and accounting.acme.com. The Web site sales.acme.com uses the same IP address as the partition, and the Web site accounting.acme.com has its own IP address. Enter the following in the "Host name(s)" field:

9.88.43.113;9.88.46.110

where 9.88.43.113 is the IP address for both the partition and the Web site sales.acme.com and 9.88.46.110 is the IP address for the Web site accounting.acme.com.

Example 2 -- Server partition with virtual servers
The partition's host name is app01 and there are two virtual servers (9.88.46.114 and 9.88.46.115) and one virtual host configured for it. Enter the following in the "Host name(s)" field:

9.88.43.113;9.88.46.114;9.88.46.115

where 9.88.43.113 is the IP address for both the partition and the virtual host sales.acme.com, 9.88.46.114 is the IP address for virtual server 1 (accounting.acme.com), and 9.88.46.115 is the IP address for virtual server 2 (northeastsales.acme.com).
