Configuring Internet sites with Web Site and Internet Site documents
In a hosted environment, each Internet Site document defines the configuration settings for an Internet protocol for a hosted organization. When you register a hosted organization, you are prompted to create one or more Internet Site documents as part of the hosted organization registration process.

Note You have the option of not creating the Internet Site document during hosted organization registration. You must then create the Internet Site document in order to use the protocol.

A Web Site document is required for the HTTP protocol. You are prompted to create one during the hosted organization registration process. If multiple Web sites are assigned to one IP address -- that is, multiple DNS names are registered to one IP address -- create a Web site document for each Web site.

Note If the hosted organization supports DOLS, on the Web Site document, specify a DSAPI filter file name according to the operating system of the xSP server that hosts that hosted organization. Win32 requires the file ndolextn; and Linux, AIX, Solaris/Sparc, S390, and iSeries require libdolextn.

For more information on specifying the DSAPI filter file name in the Web Site document, see the topic To configure DOLS on a server that uses Web Site documents.

For security purposes, you can create a File Protection document for each server. A File Protection document controls the access that Web browser clients have to the files on a server's hard drive. Create the File Protection document after creating any Web Site document(s) and/or Internet Site documents that you need.

For more information on File Protection documents, see the topic Protecting files on a server from Web client access.
