SERVICE PROVIDER

Global Web Settings documents and the service provider environment
IBM® Lotus® Domino® automatically creates a Global Web Settings document when you install the Lotus Domino service provider software. The Global Web Settings document is associated with three Web Site Rule documents that automatically create several directories that may be required by numerous users at any hosted organization. The Web Site Rule documents make files accessible from one central location on the server, so that these files do not need to be individually downloaded for each hosted organization. The benefit is a substantial savings in disk space because the service provider can provide the files to all users that need them without having to duplicate them for each individual hosted organization.

By default, the Global Web Settings document applies to all servers in a Domino domain. If you do not want the Global Web Settings to apply to all servers in a Domino domain, edit the document and specify the servers to which the document applies.

The directories that are created via the Global Web Settings document reside in the hosted organization\domino\ directory path.

Three associated Web Site Rule documents that contain the following settings are created when the Global Web Setting document is created in a hosted environment:
Web Site Rule documentType of ruleIncoming rule patternTarget server directory
DOLSDirectory/download/*domino\html\download
iNotes help filesDirectory/inotes5/help/*domino\html\inotes5\help
iNotes.cabRedirection/iNotes.cabdomino\html\iNotes.cab
The Web Site Rule document for DOLS-enabled hosted organizations downloads to a central location files that are required when the hosted organization tries to access a DOLS-enabled database.

The iNotes.cab file is an archive file that contains controls that are installed into a browser and make iNotes features available to browsers.

The iNotes help files are downloaded to a central location on the server so that they do not have to be individually downloaded for each hosted organization.

The Global Web Settings document and the Web Site Rule documents appear in the Internet Sites view. You can be review, edit, or delete them from this view.
