Authorities required to install and configure Domino

The IBM i operating system has extensive security to prevent unauthorized access to system functions and data. To install and configure Domino, you must sign on to the system with a user profile that has the required authorities. To install the Domino software, your user profile must have the following special authorities:

• All object access (*ALLOBJ)
• Security administration (*SECADM)

• All object access (*ALLOBJ)
• System configuration (*IOSYSCFG)
• Job control (*JOBCTL)
• Security administration (*SECADM)

The system security officer has the required authorities to install and configure Domino. If you are not the security officer, use the Display User Profile (DSPUSRPRF) command to determine if your user profile has the required authorities. To check your user profile, follow these steps:

1. At any command prompt, type the following command and then press Enter:

DSPUSRPRF user-id

where user-id is the name of your user profile.

If your user profile does not have the required authorities, ask the security officer to either do the installation and configuration or to add the required authorities to your user profile.

Starting the Domino software install process on IBM i

There are several ways you can begin the installation of the Domino software. Each way provides a slightly different experience, but all accomplish the same tasks. You can install the Domino software using any of the following methods:

• Launch the Domino Server Installation and Setup wizard through the System i Navigator. This method uses the InstallShield interface and allows the product CD-ROM to be in either the workstation or IBM i optical drive.
• Use the InstallShield interface by running the SETUP.EXE file from the product CD-ROM. This method allows the product CD-ROM to be in either the workstation or i optical drive.
• Use the LODRUN command from the command interface. This method requires that the product CD-ROM be in the optical drive of IBM i system.

You can launch the InstallShield wizard by running the SETUP.EXE file from the Domino product CD-ROM using a workstation that has Microsoft® Windows® installed. The SETUP.EXE file is in the root directory of CD ROM 1. For example,

d:\setup.exe

where d is the letter assigned to your workstation CD-ROM drive.

After you complete the installation, you can launch the Domino Server Setup wizard.
