USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Selecting which file systems to include in the Domain Index
For each server in a domain, you can create a File System document in the Domain Catalog to specify which file system directories to include in the Domain Index. You can index any file system that resides on the indexing server or on a network resource mapped to that server, as long as the server has at least Read access to the file system.

For file system searches, the indexing server must also be set up as a Domino Web server. This allows the server to return links to documents in the file system and to return those documents in response to queries from both IBM® Lotus® Notes® client and Web clients.

Caution Domain Search filtering of results to users based on access works only with IBM® Lotus® Domino™ databases.

For more information on file system security and Domain Search, see the topic Domain Search security.

To select which file systems to include
Add a reference to each file system in the File System document, and then map the URL path to the file system directory so that the Domino Web server can retrieve the found documents for users. Complete the following steps for each server that has file systems you want to index.

1. Start the Domino Administrator or Notes client.

2. Choose File - Application - Open.

3. In the Server field, select the server that contains the Domain Catalog.

4. Select the Domain Catalog and click Open.

5. In the view pane, click File Systems.

6. Click "Add File System."

7. Select the server that contains the file system you want to index.

8. Beside the "Current file system list" box, click Add.

9. In the Add File System dialog box, enter the location of a file system to include, for example c:\lotus\domino\data\files.

10. Enter a keyword, such as "files," to associate with the file system. You need to use this keyword in Step 14, as the portion of the incoming URL pattern that follows the forward slash (/).

11. Click OK to add the file system to the list.

12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 to add more file systems to the list.

13. When you have completed the list, click "Save and Close."

14. Create a Web Site Rule document for the Web site for this file system. This step is needed to map the incoming URL pattern to the file system directory on the target server.

For more information, see the chapter "Setting Up the Domino Web Server."

15. Restart the server, or enter this command at the server console so that the mapping settings take effect:
