Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Setting up the Web Administrator

ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Setting up the Web Administrator
The IBM® Lotus® Domino® Web Administrator uses the Web Administrator database (WEBADMIN.NSF). The first time the HTTP task starts on a Web server, IBM® Lotus® Domino® automatically creates this database in the Domino data directory. However, you need to make sure that the Web browser and server meet these requirements for the Web Administrator to run.

Web browser requirement

The IBM Lotus Domino 8 Web Administrator works with the following browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x and 7.x (on Microsoft® Windows® platforms only)
Mozilla Navigator 1.4x and higher
Mozilla Firefox 1.0x, 1.5x and 2.0x

For the most current information about supported browsers, see the Release Notes.

Domino server tasks required

You must have the following Domino server tasks running:

The Administration Process (AdminP) server task must be running on the Web Administrator server.
The Certificate Authority (CA) process must be running on the Domino server that has the Issued Certificate List database on it to register users or servers.
The HTTP task must be running on the Web server so that you can use a browser to access it.

To set up the Web Administrator

1. Make sure that the server you want to administer is set up as a Domino Web server and that it is running the HTTP task. The Domino Web server does not have to be a dedicated server, you can use it for other server tasks, such as mail routing and directory services. You can administer only the servers you set up as Domino Web servers.

2. Set up administrator access to the Web Administrator database (WEBADMIN.NSF).
