To Configure Portal Server to Access Lotus Notes

To access a Lotus Notes system using the Sun Java System Portal Server Mail and Calendar channels, you must add another file to the Sun Java System Portal Server. This file is called NCSO.jar. It must be obtained from the Lotus Notes product CD or the IBM web site.

This file is available with the Domino Designer and Domino Server products from IBM in the domino\\java subdirectory. It is also available in a Web download from the following Web site:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/toolkits

1. Go to the Lotus Domino Toolkit link and then to the Java/Corba R5.0.8 update link.

   Note –

   The download file, which performs the extraction of this file and other files, is an .exe file.

2. Place the NCSO.jar file in the global class path of the web container (web server or application server) as described in the subsequent sections about each of the four possible web containers. For three of the four web containers, the NCSO.jar file is placed in /usr/share/lib. The following table summarizes the steps that follow.

   The table outlines the process of placing the JAR file in the global class path by indicating where the NCSO.jar file can be placed: in the System Classpath or in the Portal WAR. The table also indicates if special instructions are needed. If so, they are included later in this section.

   Web Container	System Classpath	Portal WAR	Special Instructions
   Sun Java System Web Server	Yes	Yes	N/A
   Sun Java System Application Server	Yes	Yes	N/A
   BEA WebLogic Server	Yes	No	How to update system classpath
   IBM WebSphere Application Server	No	Yes	How to prune JAR file

   The following instructions are provided for each web container:

   Note –

   To complete the following steps for your web container, you must have administrative rights to it. Also you should have access to the web container documentation to obtain detailed information on various web container processes and commands.

   For more information concerning the Sun Java System web containers, see Sun Java System Application Server Administrator’s Guide or Sun Java System Sun Java System Web Server, Enterprise Edition Administrator’s Guide.
