You can modify the Domino Directory on any server; however, it’s a best practice to make all changes on the Hub server

  1. While connected to the Hub server, click the Configuration tab and expand Server in the left-hand Navigation Pane. Click on the All Server Documents view and then edit the coexistence Server Configuration Document to match the values in the bullets or tables below.

  2. Click the Ports… tab then the Internet Ports… tab, scroll down to the Web section and click on the Web tab and make the following changes:

Field

Recommended Value

TCP/IP port number

80

TCP/IP port status

Enabled

  1. Click the Internet Protocols… tab then the HTTP tab; remove any existing entries in the DSAPI filter file names field and include only nBTDominoListener:

  2. Save and close the Server Document; replicate the Domino Directory to all servers within the environment
