3.2 Meeting Installation Prerequisites

After you have gathered the information that the Notes Gateway Installation program will request and have planned the information you will need to configure the Notes Gateway after installation, make sure that the Windows server where you will install the Notes Gateway (worksheet item 1) meets the system requirements listed in Section 2.0, Notes Gateway System Requirements.

  1. Make sure that the Novell Clientâ„¢ is installed.

    The Installation program creates a Gateway object in eDirectory. The Novell Client is required to access eDirectory. If necessary, you can download the Novell Client from the Novell Product Downloads site.

  2. Make sure that the Notes client is installed.

    The Notes Gateway uses certain Notes client capabilities to communicate with the Notes/Domino server.

  3. Log in to the server where the domain directory resides and map a drive to the domain directory (worksheet item 4).

    The Installation program creates domain subdirectories and copies Notes Gateway files to the subdirectories. This requires full file system rights to the domain directory.

  4. Log in to eDirectory with Admin-equivalent rights to the eDirectory tree where the Domain object resides (worksheet item 3).

    The Installation program creates a Gateway object under the Domain object.

  5. Continue with Installing the Notes Gateway Software.
