• Web Site documents. You create a Web site document for each Web site hosted on the Domino server.
• LDAP Site documents. You create an LDAP site document for LDAP protocol access to an organization in a directory.
• IMAP, POP3, and SMTP Site documents. You create an individual Internet Site document for each mail protocol for which you enter an IP address.
• IIOP Site documents. You create an IIOP Site document to enable the Domino IIOP (DIIOP) task on the server. This task allows Domino and the browser client to use the Domino Object Request Broker (ORB) server program.

You must use Internet Site documents if you:

• Want to use Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) on a Domino Web server.
• Have enabled SSL on your server and want to use Certificate Revocation Lists to check the validity of Internet certificates used to authenticate with the server.
• Are using a service provider configuration on your server (see "For service providers only" below).

Internet Site documents are designed to be used as follows:

• For any incoming connection, Internet Site documents, Certifier documents and Global Domain documents are used to determine which organization (certifier) is associated with the target IP address. In a Domino configuration, all incoming IP addresses usually map to the top level certifier.
• For a specific organization and a specific protocol and a specific server, the Internet Site document is used to determine which authentication controls are to be applied.

For example, do not do the following:

Server A has two IP addresses and you create the following two Internet Site documents for POP3:

• One Internet Site document for one IP address with no SSL allowed
• One Internet Site document for another IP address, with SSL allowed.

Modifications to Internet Site documents (including the creation of new Site documents) are dynamic. The server or protocol does not need to be restarted after you create a new Site document, or after you modify or delete an existing one. Changes generally take effect minutes after the change is made.

Internet Site documents are created in the Internet Sites view, which is used to help manage Internet protocol configuration information by listing the configured Internet Site documents for each organization in the domain.

Caution If you use an Internet site document to configure one Internet protocol on a server, you must also use Internet site documents for all Internet protocols on that server. For example, you cannot set up an LDAP Internet Site document and, on the same server, use the Server document to configure HTTP.

While most protocol settings are configured in Internet Site documents, there are some settings that need to be configured in the Server document to support Internet protocol configurations. These include settings for:

• Enabling and configuring the TCP/IP port.
• Enabling and configuring the SSL port (including redirecting TCP to SSL).
• Accessing the server -- such as who can access the server and how.

Setting up Internet Site documents on a Domino server

Do the following to set up basic Internet Site functionality on a Domino server.

1. Create Internet Sites document for the Internet protocols you want to use.

2. Set up security for each Internet Site document.

3. Enable Internet Site documents on the server.

For service providers only

Internet Site documents are required for hosted organizations. These documents control each hosted organization's use of Internet protocols. A hosted organization can only use an Internet protocol if the hosted organization has an Internet site document for that protocol. A shared IP address may be used for all hosted organizations, or unique IP addresses may be set up for each hosted organization. Internet Site documents link IP addresses to the individual hosted organizations for each Internet protocol.

When registering hosted organizations, you have the option to create Internet Site documents during hosted organization registration, or you can choose to create them later.

Service providers need to consider the following when using Internet Site documents:

• Each hosted organization has one Web Site document that can be created during hosted organization registration. You must create this initial Web Site document to activate the HTTP protocol. If you have multiple Web sites, you need one individual Web Site document for each additional Web site for each organization. If the hosted organization supports DOLS, the Web Site document must contain the name of the DSAPI filter file name. For more information, see the topic To configure DOLS on a server that uses Web Site documents in this chapter.
• You must create one mail protocol Site document (IMAP, POP3, or SMTP) for each protocol used by each organization.
• In a hosted environment, Domino IIOP (DIIOP) can use the information in the IIOP Internet site document to define the scope of the Domino Directory used to validate users. With DIIOP, you can use any Java™ code running on any server on the network.
• If your configuration has one IP address that is shared by multiple hosted organizations, HTTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3, and SMTP are the available protocols. For IMAP, LDAP, POP3, and SMTP users, the name provided during authentication must be the user's Internet e-mail address, so that the server knows the organization of which each user is a member. Anonymous access to LDAP is not supported in this configuration.
• To enable SSL for a hosted organization, you must enter the server IP address in the field "Host names or addresses mapped to this site" on the Basics tab of the Internet Site document.
