Collecting Configuration Information

You'll need to provide a number of system-specific details when you import the driver configuration for Lotus Notes. Some of these details can be collected before you complete the following procedures, and others will be defined during the process.

See the list in Importing the Driver Configuration.

Creating Lotus Notes Accounts

1. Create a Notes User ID to be used exclusively by the driver and give it manager-level ACL access to the target Notes database (usually names.nsf), the output database created by NDSRep, and certlog.nsf.

2. If a Deny Access group doesn't already exist, create this group.

   This group will hold disabled user accounts.

3. Collect the DirXML Association String for the Deny Access group.

   This string is used by the driver to uniquely identify this object. To get the string:

   1. View the Document Properties of the group. (You can select the object and right-click to select Document Properties.)

   2. Click the Meta tab (the fifth tab from the right).

   3. Go the text in the Identifier field. Go to the end of the text and copy the character string from the last forward slash to the end. This will always be 32 alphanumeric characters.

   4. Paste this information into a file for later use when you run the Create Driver Wizard.

Providing Access to Certifiers and ID Files in the Lotus Notes Infrastructure

You need to set access to all required ID files, all certifier ID files, and so forth in the Lotus Notes infrastructure. You need access to users files and access to server ID files.
