To register a hosted organization, from the Domino Administrator, choose Configuration - Registration - Hosted Organization. Hosted organization registration creates the two administration requests shown below.

Create hosted organization storage

Triggered by: Initiating hosted organization registration in the Domino Administrator.

Carried out on: The xSP server.

Carried out: Immediately.

Result: A data directory is created for the hosted organization. This directory is assigned the name that is specified in the Directory field on the Storage panel of the Register Hosted Organization interface. By default, for Win32 systems, the hosted organization's data directory is placed directly beneath Domino/data. On UNIX systems, the default is /local/notesdata. You can specify another location in the Physical Storage Location field on the Register Hosted Organization interface. This request also creates the necessary .ACL file to prevent users in other hosted organizations from accessing the directory, and it creates the "domino" subdirectory that is beneath the hosted organization's directory and populates it with the necessary Web hosting directories and files.

A mail subdirectory is created beneath the hosted organization's data directory.

Triggered by: Successful completion of the Create hosted organization storage request and by selecting "Create mail file in background" on the Mail tab of the Registration Settings document selected for this hosted organization.

Carried out on: The xSP server.

Carried out: Immediately.

Result: A mail file for the hosted organization administrator is created in the mail subdirectory for the hosted organization. The mail subdirectory resides beneath the hosted organization's data directory.
