Lotus Notes Connector

Overview

The Notes Connector provides access to Lotus Domino databases. The Connector uses HTTP and IIOP (see Ports for port number) to access the Domino server, so you must make sure these services are started and accessible from the host you are running this Connector.

Provided that you use a Domino server R5,  supported  Notes versions are 4.5, 4.6 and 5.0. Without a Domino server R5, you will not be able to access any Notes bases (R4 nor R5) with this connector.

The Lotus Notes Connector reads, writes and deletes records in any Notes database, and is therefore not limited to the Domino directory. Managing users in Lotus Notes requires modifying certificates, ACLs and their mailboxes. This must either be done manually or by using the "adminp" system tool. Users can be provisioned in and out of Notes by applying staging databases and integrating with adminp through Notes scripting.

Configuration

The Connector needs the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

connectorType com.architech.connector.rscNotes
dominoLogin The username to use for authentication against the server.
dominoPassword The password to use.
dominoHost The IP hostname or address to the domino server.

Security

In order to have the Integrator access your Domino server, you might have to allow it through Domino Administrator -> Security -> IIOP restriction . The user account you have configured the Integrator to use, must belong to a group listed under Run restricted Java/Javascript and Run unrestricted Java/Javascript

The Domino Web server has to be configured for allowing anonymous access.  If not, the current version of the Connector will not to be able to connect to the Domino IIOP server.

The current Notes Connector cannot use SSL in HTTP connections to the Domino Web Server, but this functionality should appear in newer versions.
