NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all variable names are spelled as one word (no spaces) with or without underscores.


Notes.ini settings: A
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
Admin

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the user name of the server administrator. Enter each part of the name in canonical format, separated by a slash (/), where: CN is the common name; OU is the organization unit; O is the organization; and C is the country code. There is no default setting. Admin=CN=John Smith/
OU=Marketing/O=Acme 		There is no UI equivalent.
AdminPInterval

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the number of minutes that AdminP waits before checking for interval requests. If there is a valid Interval definition in the Server document, this variable is ignored. There is no default setting. AdminPInterval = minutes There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the Notes.ini Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
AdminPModify
NamesFields

Applies to: Servers 		Use this variable to enable AdminP to rename users in plain Names fields during a rename process, when "Modify all Reader and Author fields" is chosen in the ACL. Set the value to 1 to enable this. There is no default setting. AdminPModify
NamesFields = 1 		There is no UI equivalent.
AdminpModifyPerson
DocumentsAt

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the hour of the day when daily requests are processed. If there is a valid daily requests definition in the Server document, this variable is ignored. There is no default setting. AdminpModifyPerson,br /> DocumentsAt = minutes There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the Notes.ini Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
Agent_Design_Update

Applies to: Servers 		Since Domino 6, the "OnBehalf" security model allows the agents to run on behalf of the specified user, as long as the agent is signed by the identity that has rights to sign agents on behalf of someone else. The server has this right implicitly. When the design update happens for enabled agents, the agents are disabled and thus stop running. When enabled, this variable restores the earlier behavior of not storing the agent signer in OnBehalf, so the agents remain enabled when a design update occurs.
1 - Does not store agent signer in OnBehalf and keeps agents enabled
2 (default) - Force disabling of agents for design updates 		Agent_Design_Update = value There is no UI equivalent.
Allow_Access

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that can access a server. You must specify a hierarchical name in hierarchical format, for example, Alice Jones/Acme. An asterisk represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash (/) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. The Deny_Access setting overrides the Allow_Access setting.Allow_Access = names Applies to servers. No default setting. For more information on the Deny_Access setting, see the topic "Deny_Access".
Allow_Access_portname

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that can access a server port. The portname parameter indicates the name of the port you enabled in the Port Setup dialog box and in the Server document. An asterisk represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash (/) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. Allow_Access_lan3 =* (All users listed in the Domino Directory can use the LAN3 port on this server)No default setting.
Allow_Anonymous_Access
_From_DB2

Applies to: Servers 		Ordinarily, when Notes data is accessed in SQL, as through a DB2 access view (DAV) user- level security checks are done on the user, through Notes user name - DB2 user name mapping. If you don't want to use user name mapping, you can control access to DAVs by using DB2's GRANT mechanism, by adding this setting to the NOTES.INI file on the DB2 Access server. When this NOTES.INI setting is enabled, anonymous access to Notes is used whenever a DB2 user name is not mapped to a Notes user name.
0 - Disables anonymous access
1 - Enables anonymous access through DB2 GRANT mechanism 		Allow_Anonymous_Access
_From_DB2 = value 		No default setting. Although enabling anonymous access removes the name mapping requirement, Domino still controls access to the DAV. In order to use anonymous access, the Domino server must allow anonymous access and the default access level of the NSF associated with the DAV must provide sufficient rights to perform the requested SQL operation. For example, read permission for SELECTS, author permission for INSERTs, and so forth.
Allow_Passthru_Access

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that can access a server port. The portname parameter indicates the name of the port you enabled in the Port Setup dialog box and in the Server document. An asterisk represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash (/) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. Allow_Passthru_Access =* (All users listed in the Domino Directory can access this server using passthru.)No default setting.
Allow_Passthru_Callers

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that can instruct this server to establish a connection to call a destination server. If you do not enter a name, no calling is allowed. An asterisk represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash (/) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. Allow_Passthru_Callers = names No default setting.
Allow_Passthru_Clients

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that can use a passthru server to connect to this server. If you do not specify a name, passthru is not allowed. An asterisk represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. Allow_Passthru_Clients = names No default setting.
Allow_Passthru_Targets

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the destination servers that this server can connect to using passthru. If you do not specify a name, this server can route to all servers. Allow_Passthru_Targets = names No default setting.
AMgr_DisableMailLookup

Applies to: Servers 		By default, a mail-triggered agent performs a mail lookup of the user who last modified it. It only runs if the server running the agent is also the user's mail server. When users create or modify a mail-triggered agent on a server other than their own mail server, you can use this setting on the server to disable mail lookup so that the agent can run. Notes displays the message for the user "Unable to determine the execution access privileges" if the mail server cannot be reached.
0 - Perform mail lookups when running mail-triggered agents
1 - Do not perform mail lookups when running mail-triggered agents 		AMgr_DisableMailLookup = value No default setting. Without this setting, mail-triggered agents perform mail lookups.

Interval = number of minutes 		Default setting is 60 minutes.
AMgr_WeekendDays

Applies to: Servers and clients 		When agents use the On Schedule trigger, the Run on Schedule options box is available and includes the Don't run on weekends check box option. When you select this option, the agent does not run on weekend days. The default value for weekend days is Saturday (7) and Sunday (1). You can specify any number of days, up to 7. For example: AMgr_WeekendDays = 1,6,7 causes agents that have the Don't run on weekends option checked not to run on Sundays, Fridays, and Saturdays. AMgr_WeekendDays = day1, day2, ... Default setting is 7 (Saturday) and 1 (Sunday).

Notes.ini settings: B
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
BatchRegFile

Applies to: Servers 		Use this variable on servers to specify the name of a batch registration file. If you add this variable, Domino does not prompt you for the filename when you import users from a text file. BatchRegFile = file name There is no default setting.
BillingAddinOutput

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies where Domino logs billing events. Use the following values to set this variable:
1 - Billing database (BILLING.NSF)
8 - Binary file (BILLING.NBF)
9 - Both the billing database and binary file
Domino creates the BILLING.NSF database and/or the BILLING.NBF file the first time the billing add-in task is started with this option set.		BatchRegFile = file name Default setting is 1.
BillingAddinRuntime

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies how long the billing add-in task runs. For example, BillingAddinRuntime = 30 specifies that the billing add-in will process billing records for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds the billing add-in stops processing records, even if there are additional records to be processed. The BillingAddinRuntime value must be less than the value you specify for the BillingAddinWakeup variable. Applies to servers. Default setting is 10 seconds.BillingAddinRuntime = number of seconds There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
BillingAddinWakeup

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies how often the billing add-in task runs. For example, BillingAddinWakeup = 300 specifies that the billing add-in task wakes up every five minutes (300 seconds) to process the billing records in the billing message queue. The BillingAddinWakeup value must be greater than the value you specify for BillingAddinRuntime. Applies to servers. Default setting is 60 seconds. BillingAddinWakeup = number of seconds There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.

  • Session
The billing process tracks only the activities that you specify in the BillingClass variable. There is no default setting. 		BillingClass = class(es) There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
BillingSuppressTime

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the frequency of record stamping during session and database activities if session and database activities are specified for the BillingClass variable. If you want billing data collected more frequently, decrease the default value (15 minutes). To minimize the billing workload on your system, increase the value. BillingSuppressTime = number of minutes There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
BrowserRenderDisable

Applies to: Clients 		Specifies the use of browsers other than the Notes embedded browser for rendering HTML-formatted mail messages for reading only. (If a user edits an HTML-formatted mail message or forwards or replies to one, the new mail message is rendered using the Notes-embedded browser, and may not retain all of the original HTML formatting.) You may want to disable the improved HTML rendering for security reasons, as HTML formatting has some risks associated with its use.
1 (default) - Use Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Safari browsers for HTML-formatted mail messages
0 - Use the Notes embedded browser for HTML-formatted mail. 		BrowserRenderDisable = value There is no UI equivalent.

    ACME.ID
CertifierIDFile = path There is no UI equivalent.
ClockType

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies whether the Domino server clock displays time in 12-hour format (AM and PM) or 24-hour format (sometimes called military time). A value of 12_HOUR sets the clock type as 12-hour. A value of 24_HOUR sets the clock type as 24-hour. This setting overrides the system clock setting defined in the server's operating system. Applies to UNIX servers only. There is no default setting, although without this setting the Domino server displays 12-hour time. ClockType = value There is no UI equivalent.
Clrepl_Obeys_Quotas

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies whether the Cluster Replicator obeys quotas.
0 - Disables the Cluster Replicator from obeying quotas.

Compact_Retry
_Rename_Wait

Applies to: Servers 		If you have specified a value for the Num_Compact_Rename_Retries setting, Domino waits 30 seconds before trying to rename a database that was copy-style compacted. You can request a different amount of time to wait by specifying the value of the Compact_Retry_Rename_Wait setting in the NOTES.INI file. For example, to request that Domino wait 2 minutes before trying rename a database that was copy-style compacted, specify Compact_Retry_Rename_Wait = 120. Domino enforces the following upper limit when trying to rename a copy-style compacted database: Num_Compact_Rename_Retries x Compact_Retry_Rename_Wait <= 60 minutes. There is no default, but in the absence of the setting, Domino waits 30 seconds before trying to rename a database that was copy-style compacted. Compact_Retry
_Rename_Wait = number of seconds 		There is no UI equivalent. For more information, see the entry for Num_Compact_Rename_Retries setting.
Console_Log_Enabled

To toggle logging to the Console Log file from the server console, use the "start consolelog" and "stop consolelog" commands. There is no default setting. 		Console_Log_Enabled = value There is no UI equivalent.
Console_Log_Max
_Kbytes

Applies to: Servers 		Sets the maximum size of the Console Log/mirror files. Mirroring makes use of the circular log mechanism; therefore, if mirroring is enabled circular logging, Console_Log_Max_KBytes, is automatically enabled also. When the Console Log wraps, the new mirror file is created. When mirroring is enabled, the default value for Console_Log_Max_KBytes is 100,000 (100 MB) and the maximum value is 1,000,000 (1 GB). When mirroring is enabled, the default value for Console_Log_Max_KBytes is 100,000 (100 MB) and the Maximum value is 1,000,000 (1 GB).
100,000 (default) - Default when mirroring is enabled.
1,000,000 - Maximum value 		Console_Log_Max
_Kbytes = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
Console_Log_Mirror

Applies to: Servers 		Enables the mirroring feature. When mirroring is enabled, all keystrokes are copied to the console log and mirrored, so backspaces may appear in the console logs. When mirroring is enabled, the new Server thread "Console Log Mirror Task" is created. Existing mirror files are deleted if the NOTES.INI setting, Retain_Mirror_Logs, has not been set. A new mirror file is created and is assigned the name of the console log with a number appended to it, where 999 is the maximum appended number. The default console log name is CONSOLE.LOG. As the console log changes, the data is read from the console log and copied to the new mirror log file. Console_Log_Mirror is disabled by default.
0 or not present (default) - Disables console log mirroring
1 - Enables console log mirroring 		Console_Log_Mirror = 1There is no UI equivalent."
ConstrainedSHM

Create_File_Access

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies users, servers, and groups that can create new databases on the server. You must specify a hierarchical name in hierarchical format, for example, Alice Jones/Acme. If you don't specify a name, all certified users can create files. An asterisk (*) represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash ( / ) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. There is no default setting. Create_File_Access = names UI equivalent: The Create New Databases field in the Security tab of the Server document. The Server document takes precedence over the NOTES.INI setting. Domino uses the Create_File_Access setting only if the Create New Databases field is empty.
Create_Replica_Access

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the groups that can create replicas on the server. You must specify a hierarchical name in hierarchical format, for example, Alice Jones/Acme. If you don't specify a group, all certified users can create replicas. An asterisk (*) represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory.

Domino uses the Create_Replica_Access setting only if the Create Replica Databases field is empty.
Create_R8_Databases

Applies to: Servers 		To allow compression of database design, NSFs must be ODS 48. Use this setting to upgrade the databases to ODS 48. There is no default setting.Create_R8_Databases = 1There is no UI setting for this Notes.ini variable. This setting affects only NSFs; it has no effect on DB2-enabled Notes databases.
CSEnblRstTm

Applies to: Clients 		Sometimes, in a series of repeating meetings, some instances of those meetings are rescheduled for different meeting times. The chair of a repeating meeting may decide to synchronize all or some of the repeating meetings to be at the same time. Users have the option of resetting the times on some or all meeting instances based on one instance's times. In order to take advantage of this feature, the Calendaring and Scheduling ResetTimes feature in the associated Desktop policy must be enabled, or if policies are not being used, then this variable must be enabled in the workstation Notes.ini file.
0 - User cannot reschedule repeating meetings using the ResetTimes feature
1 - User can reschedule repeating meetings using the ResetTimes feature
There is no default setting. Applies to workstations. 		CSEnblRstTm = value UI equivalent: The "Reschedule repeating meetings using ResetTimes feature" on the Databases tab of the Desktop Settings document.

Applies to: Servers 		If Fault Analyzer is enabled, upon server start-up it reads all of the server configuration documents and desktop policy documents in the local Domino Directory. If any of these documents have a fault reports database specified (DCLoc), Fault Analyzer determines if the database is on the local server and if so will add it to its list of databases to monitor. Every 10 seconds, the process will see if the data-modified time of any of the databases it is monitoring has changed, and if so, will scan for new unprocessed documents to try to match. Use DEBUG_FAULT_ANALYZER to provide debug information for Fault Analyzer as follows:
1 - lists errors
2 - list errors and also show the progression of the code (for example, 'found 3 matching databases' or 'looking for new faults')
There is no default setting.		Debug_Fault_Analyzer = value There is no UI equivalent.
DEBUG_TRANSLOG
_EXTENTS_PERCENTAGE
_FULL

Applies to: Servers 		Allow administrators to specify that the disk be full by a certain percentage before deleting extents, rather than marking them for reuse. There is no default setting. DEBUG_TRANSLOG
_EXTENTS_PERCENTAGE
_FULL = percentage 		There is no UI equivalent.
Default_Index_Lifetime
_Days

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies a default lifetime for view indexes if none was selected by the database designer in the view properties box. If the index is inactive for the specified number of days, the Indexer task purges the index. For example: Default_Index_Lifetime_Days = 60 sets the lifetime of indexes to 60 days. There is no default setting.Default_Index_Lifetime
_Days = number of days 		None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
DEFAULT_QV_USER

Applies to: Servers 		Use this variable to indicate whether or not to use the default DB2 user, as specified using the Admin Client configuration tab tool. The default name will be retrieved from the server ID. There is no default setting.
0 - Use the default DB2 user
1 - Do not use the default DB2 user 		DEFAULT_QV_USER = value There is no UI equivalent.
Deny_Access

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that are denied access to the server. You must specify a hierarchical name in hierarchical format, for example, Alice Jones/Acme. An asterisk (*) represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash (/) and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. The Deny_Access setting overrides the Allow_Access setting. For more information, see the Allow_Access setting. There is no default setting.Deny_Access = names UI equivalent: The Not Access Server field in the Security tab of the Server document. The Server document takes precedence over the NOTES.INI setting. Domino uses the Deny_Access setting only if the Not Access Server field is empty.
Deny_Access_portname

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies servers, users, and groups that are denied access to a specific server port. The portname parameter indicates the name of the port you enabled in the Port Setup dialog box and in the Server document. An asterisk (*) represents everyone listed in the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a view name represents everyone listed in that view of the Domino Directory. An asterisk followed by a slash and a hierarchical certifier's name represents everyone certified by that certifier. For example: Deny_Access_SPX = Terminations. The users in the Terminations group cannot access the SPX port. There is no default setting.Deny_Access_portname = names There is no UI equivalent.
Desktop6

Applies to: Clients 		Use this setting to specify the location of the DESKTOP6.DSK file used to customize the Notes workspace. For example:
  • On the Macintosh: Desktop6 = Notes:Desktop
  • In Windows: DESKTOP6 = C:LOTUS\NOTES\
    DESKTOP6.DSK
There is no default setting, although if this setting is omitted, Notes looks for the file DESKTOP6.DSK in the Notes Data directory.		Desktop6 = path There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOPConfigUpdate
Interval

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the time interval, in minutes, at which DIIOP should refresh its configuration data from the Domino Directory. The default value is 3 minutes.DIIOPConfigUpdate
Interval = number of minutes 		There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOPCookieCheck
Address

Applies to: Servers 		Modifies the behavior of server-based cookies used with applets that are downloaded by the Domino HTTP server. Set the value to 1 to enable the checking of client IP addresses for these cookies. The default value is 0 (disabled), which means that DIIOP will not require the client's IP address using one of these cookies to match the IP address of the client to whom the cookie was issued. Client IP addresses will not match in most cases because the cookie is issued to the browser using the HTTP protocol, which is typically routed through proxy servers and therefore the client appears to be the proxy server. While the user of the cookie is the applet running in the browser, its network traffic does not go through a proxy server.DIIOPCookieCheck
Address = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOPCookieTimeout

Applies to: Servers 		Modifies the behavior of server-based cookies used with applets that are downloaded by the domino HTTP server. It specifies the time period (number of minutes) for which each cookie is valid. When a cookie expires it cannot be used to obtain a session with the DIIOP task. The minimum setting is 1 minute. The default value is 10 minutes.DIIOPCookieTimeout = number of minutes There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOP_Debug_Invoke

Applies to: Servers 		Use for debugging only. It provides a level of logging beyond that of DIIOPLogLevel. Each transaction that the DIIOP task receives is logged along with the object ID that was the target, as well as the session ID. Valid values are:
1 - Show transaction details when a transaction finishes
2 - Show transaction details when a transaction starts.
There is no default value.		DIIOP_Debug_Invoke = value There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOP_DUP_KEYRING

Applies to: Servers 		To use SSL with DIIOP/NCSO and the remoted back-end classes, the Domino server must first be configured for SSL. When SSL is configured on a server, a keyring is created to contain the server certificates. A Domino server keyring has the file extension .kyr and is specified in the server document and in the Internet site document. Each Domino server that uses SSL must have a trusted root certificate from a certificate authority in its server keyring file. TrustedCerts.class is also a keyring that only contains the public certificate server's signer, also known as the trusted root certificate. TrustedCerts.class is automatically created by DIIOP, using the server's or Internet site key ring(s), when DIIOP is configured to listen on the SSL port. It is typically found under the domino\java directory. The server will accept DIIOP SSL sessions from a remote Java client to encrypt the network traffic. DIIOP SSL currently does not support authentication with client certificates. When the Java client and the Domino server share a trusted root, they can establish an encrypted network session. The Notes.ini setting DIIOP_DUP_KEYRING = classname creates a Java class file that contains the same certificates that are in the TrustedCerts.class, but the class name can be user specified. The class name can be used as a parameter to the methods, below, by including -ORBSSLCertificates = classname in the string array argument.
  • static public String getIOR(String host, String args[])
  • static public String getIOR(String host, String args[], String user, String passwd)
There is no default value.		DIIOP_DUP_KEYRING = class name There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOPDNSLookup

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies that DIIOP should do a DNS name lookup for every client that connects and uses DIIOP services. This information is visible when using the server console command "show tasks." Set the value to 1 to enable DNS lookups for clients. The default value is 0 (disabled).DIIOPDNSLookup = value There is no UI equivalent.
DIIOPIgnorePortLimits

Applies to: Servers 		This parameter is only valid on a Linux platform. It indicates that DIIOP may use the default ports of 63148 and 63149. On some Linux installations, the default ports are not available for use and DIIOP will automatically select ports 60148 and 60149. Set this value to 1 to use the higher numbered ports. The default value is 0 (use default ports).DIIOPIgnorePortLimits = value There is no UI equivalent. Prior to Domino 6, this variable was known as DIIOP_IGNORE_PORT _LIMITS. It is still valid for backwards compatibility.
DIIOPIORHost

Applies to: Servers 		To have DIIOP advertise its existence using an alternate hostname or IP address, you can set DIIOPIORHost to an alternate host name or address other than the server default. The server default is based on the value specified in the Server document setting "Fully qualified Internet host name." The default value is to use the setting in the Server document.DIIOPIORHost = host name The preferred method of setting this value is through the Server document, on the DIIOP section of the Internet Protocols tab. Prior to Domino 6, this variable was known as DIIOP_IOR_HOST. It is still valid for backwards compatibility.
DIIOPLogLevel

Applies to: Servers 		This parameter increases the level of information that DIIOP reports to the server console and to the log. This value can be set manually by modifying the NOTES.INI directly or it can be set using the "tell diiop log=n" command. Possible values are:
0 - Show Errors & Warnings only
1 - Also show informational messages
2 - Also show session init/term messages
3 - Also show session statistics
4 - Also show transaction messages
DIIOPLogLevel = value There is no UI equivalent.
Dircat_Include
_Readerslist_Notes

Applies to: Servers 		When set to 1 the Dircat task aggregates documents that contain Readers lists. Users that are not in the Readers lists can nevertheless read these documents in the directory catalog. There is no default setting. Without this setting the Dircat task does not aggregate documents that contain Readers lists. Note that even users who are included in the Readers list cannot access the documents through the directory catalog.Dircat_Include
_Readerslist_Notes = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
Dircat_Include
_Readerslist_Notes

Applies to: Servers 		Have the Dircat task aggregate documents that contain Readers lists. Dircat does not do this by default. Dircat_Include
_Readerslist_Notes = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
Directory

Applies to: Servers and clients 		Specifies the location of the Data directory for Domino or Notes. This path is originally set during the Install program. The default is C:\LOTUS\NOTES\DATA, or the directory specified during the Install program.Directory = path UI equivalent: File - Preferences - User Preferences - Basics - Local database folder
Disable_Cluster_Replicator

Applies to: Servers 		Use this setting to disable/enable cluster replication.
0 - Cluster replication enabled
1 - Cluster replication disabled
There is no default setting, but cluster replication is on by default.		Disable_Cluster_Replicator = value There is no UI equivalent.
DisableLDAPOnAdmin

Applies to: Servers 		If you do not want to run the LDAP service on any server in a domain, you can stop the LDAP service from running on the administration server for the Domino Directory. Set this INI setting to 1, and remove LDAP from the ServerTasks Notes.ini setting. DisableLDAPOnAdmin = value There is no UI equivalent.
Disable_SaveServerConfig

Applies to: Servers 		At server startup, the automatic collection of files containing server configuration information, including NSD files, can be disabled through this variable. Set Disable_SaveServerConfig = 0 to disable this feature. See Disable_SaveNSDConfig for more information.Disable_SaveServerConfig = value There is no UI equivalent.
Disable_View_Rebuild_Opt

Applies to: Servers 		Use this setting to enable/disable the view rebuild optimization feature, which presorts the view entries in temporary files before inserting them into the view index. Use the following values for this setting:
0 - Enables
1 - Disables
There is no default setting, although the view rebuild optimization feature is enabled in Domino by default.		Disable_View_Rebuild_Opt = value There is no UI equivalent.
DisabledPorts

Applies to: Servers and clients 		This setting indicates which ports are disabled for the server or workstation. Ports are enabled/disabled in Server documents (servers) and in the User Preferences dialog box (workstations). There is no default setting.DisabledPorts = port name(s) On a workstation, see the Ports tab in the User Preferences dialog box (choose File - Preferences - User Preferences). On a server, see the Port tab in the Server document.
DisableLDAPOnAdmin

Applies to: Servers 		If set to DisableLDAPOnAdmin = 1 prevents the LDAP task from running on the administration server of the Domino Directory for a domain. Since this administration server manages the schema and verifies the directory tree for all servers in the domain that run the LDAP service, use this setting only if you do not run the LDAP task on any server in a domain. To disable the LDAP service on the Domino Directory administration server, you must also remove the LDAP task from the server's ServerTasks NOTES.INI setting. To prevent the LDAP task on the Domino Directory administration server from processing LDAP requests but still allow it to manage the schema and verify the directory tree for other servers in the domain that run the LDAP service, disable the ports for the LDAP service on the administration server. There is no default setting.DisableLDAPOnAdmin = value There is no UI equivalent.
DisplayFontAdjustment

Applies to: Clients 		Varies the display font of the client by a degree proportionate to the number. Negative numbers make the font smaller; positive numbers make it bigger. Values range from -25 to 25. There is no default setting. DisplayFontAdjustment = n There is no UI equivalent.
Display_MessageID

Applies to: Servers 		Enables the display of the hexadecimal Message ID (MID) for events written to the Domino console. The MID is usually equivalent to the resource ID for that string in the Domino resource table. The console will print them in curly braces, following a {Module:MID:SC} format. MIDs and SCs can be toggled individually.
0 - Disables the MID display for events written to the console
1 - Enables the MID display for events written to the console
The default setting is disabled.		Display_MessageID = value There is no UI equivalent.
Display_MessageSeverity

Applies to: Servers 		Enables the display of the hexadecimal Severity codes (SC) for events written to the Domino console. The console will print them in curly braces, following a {Module:MID:SC} format. MIDs and SCs can be toggled individually.
0 - Disables the SC display for events written to the console
1 - Enables the SC display for events written to the console
The default setting is disabled.		Display_MessageSeverity = value There is no UI equivalent.
Domain

Applies to: Servers and clients 		On a server, specifies the server's domain. On a workstation, specifies the domain of the user's mail server. This setting must contain at least one default name.Domain = name On a server, the Domain Name field in the Basics tab of the Server document; on a workstation, the Domain field in the Mail tab in the user's Person document.
DominoComplete
DocType

Applies to: Servers 		Use any of the following values for this .INI variable to have the Domino Web server product various doctype strings in the generated HTML:
0 (default) - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
1 - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/
html4/loose.dtd">
2 - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/
html4/strict.dtd">
DominoComplete
DocType = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoDisableFile
UploadChecks

Applies to: Servers 		Stops the Domino server from checking to see if a file upload is coming from a file upload control. This allows developers to code HTML file upload files and have uploads complete successfully. There is no default.DominoDisableFile
UploadChecks = value 		There is no UI setting for this Notes.ini variable.
DominoDisableLast
ModifiedWithETAGS

Applies to: Servers 		If the Domino Web server is using ETag headers, set this variable to 1 so the server will not generate Last-Modified headers. The variable only has an effect if the Web server generates ETags. This setting will be ignored if any of the following are true:
  • DominoDisableETags is set to 0.
  • The HTTP 1.0 protocol is being used.
  • The user has specified a Last-Modified header with @SetHTTPHeader function.
There is no default setting. 		DominoDisableLast
ModifiedWithETAGS = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoDisablePassthru
HTML

Applies to: Servers 		This setting allows the server to disable the recognition of passthru HTML characters, thus allowing any HTML enclosed to be treated as regular text. This means that the marked rich text is ignored and treated as it would be if it were not marked. This setting affects rendering (Web server generated output), not input. Thus, someone can still post an item that has the passthru html in it, but it won't be interpreted as such when the Web server generates output HTML.
  • Passthru html is enabled
  • Disable passthru only for text delimited with [< >]
  • Disable all passthru for text marked as passthru with the Notes editor, using Text - Pass-thru HTML, or specifying a paragraph style "HTML"
Having two levels of disabling passthru allows administrators to eliminate any external threat -- such as passthru added by someone from the Web -- but allows applications written using the Notes editor style of passthru to continue working (for example, the mail template). Setting of DominoDisablePassThruHTML does not affect if and how the notes client treats passthru html, or other ways of putting "raw" html into a document (for example, marking a form as content type html or putting a field named HTML on the document). There is no default setting. 		DominoDisablePassthru
HTML = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoMultiPart
PostBufferSize

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the number of megabytes to allocate to the memory buffer. The size of the buffer can be affected by the Notes.ini variable DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE. If DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE is greater than DominoMultiPartPostBufferSize, than the maximum buffer size is set to DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE. By default, DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE is set to 1 MB and cannot exceed 100 MB. Therefore, DominoMultiPartPostBufferSize has a 10 MB minimum and a 100 MB maximum. The default setting is 10 MB. DominoMultiPart
PostBufferSize = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoMultiPart
PostBufferSize

Applies to: Servers 		The size of the buffer can be affected by the NOTES.INI variable DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE. If DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE is greater then DominoMultiPartPostBufferSize, than the maximum buffer size will be set to DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE. By default, DSAPI_MAX_POST_DATA_BUFF_SIZE is set to 1 megabyte and cannot exceed 100 megabytes. Therefore, DominoMultiPartPostBufferSize has a 10 megabyte minimum and a 100 megabyte maximum. Default setting is 10 MB. DominoMultiPart
PostBufferSize = n, where n is the number of megabytes to allocate to the memory buffer		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoNoBanner

Applies to: Servers 		Web pages created with Domino display a Domino banner in source headers, as follows:
<HTML>
<! -- Lotus-Domino Release [release number] - [date of release] on [platform] -->
<HEAD>
Use the DominoNoBanner setting to hide/display the banner.
0 - Displays the banner
1 (default) - Hides the banner. This option provides greater default security
Disable all passthru for text marked astpassthru with the Notes editor, using Text - Pass-thru HTML, or specifying a paragraph style "HTML." Having two levels of disabling passthru allows administrators to eliminate any external threat -- such as passthru added by someone from the Web -- but allows applications written using the Notes editor style of passthru to continue working (for example, the mail template). Setting of DominoDisablePassThruHTML does not affect if and how the notes client treats passthru html, or other ways of putting "raw" html into a document (for example, marking a form as content type html or putting a field named HTML on the document). There is no default setting. 		DominoNoBanner = value There is no UI equivalent.
DominoNoDirLinks

Applies to: Servers 		On a Web server, specifies whether browser users can use directory links. Options are:
0 (default) - Allow browser users to access directory links
1 - Prevent browser users from accessing directory links
DominoNoDirLinks = value There is no UI equivalent.
DominoNoWebAdmin

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies whether or not the HTTP server task automatically creates and manages the Domino Web Administrator (webadmin.nsf) application. There is no default setting.
0 - Creates/manages the webadmin.nsf application automatically
1 - The HTTP server task does not create/manage the webadmin.nsf application 		DominoNoWebAdmin = value There is no UI equivalent, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
DominoR5IntlURL
Decoding

Applies to: Servers 		Use DominoR5IntlURLDecoding to enable decoding of international URL strings using a proprietary encoding scheme.
0 (default) - Disables Domino 5 international URL decoding. By default, Domino 6 encodes URLs according to the IRI (International Resource Identifiers) standard and does not decode URL strings encoded by Domino 5.
1 - Enables Domino 5 international URL decoding
DominoR5IntlURL
Decoding = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoValidate
FramesetSRC

Applies to: Servers 		If this variable is set to1 and the Web Server OpenFrameSet command has a Src argument, the argument's value is validated to insure that it designates a design note in the same database as the fraemset being opened. This prevents improper use of the Src argument to redirect browsers to arbitrary web sites (a possible security vulnerability) Note that the Src and Frame arguments are used by the autoframe feature and are not intended for general use. There is no default setting. DominoValidate
FramesetSRC = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DominoXURLProcess

Applies to: Servers 		Use DominoXURLProcess to enable a Domino Web server's URL command parser to accept '!' as an alternative query component separator.
0 (default) - Disables '!' as an alternative query component separator. By default, Domino does not recognize '!' as an alternative query component separator.
1 - Enables '!' as an alternative query component separator
DominoXURLProcess = value There is no UI equivalent.
DoNotShowDetailsButton Applies to workstations. A subset of error message dialog boxes have a Search IBM Technotes button that, if clicked, performs a search of the IBM support site's technotes on that error and returns the results for the user. This INI variable allows users to suppress the display of this button.
  • 0 (default) - The Search IBM Technotes button displays for a subset of error messages.
  • 1 - The Search IBM Technotes button does not display for for a subset of error messages.
DoNotShowDetailsButton=value There is no UI equivalent.
Dont_Cache_Monitor
_Formulas

Applies to: Servers 		When system mail rules or headlines are used on a Domino server, the server keeps in memory the list of databases affected so that when a note is updated, databases that must react to note updates can be found quickly and the action taken. By default, if the action involves a programatic check, such as a system mail rule, the code to perform that check is cached as well. On a server with many such monitors, the memory required to cache the code to perform the monitoring may be so big that normal server operations are affected. Use this variable to prevent caching of the compute objects for. This greatly reduces memory usage at a small cost in processing power. There is no default setting. Dont_Cache_Monitor
_Formulas = 1		There is no UI equivalent.
Dont_Use_Remembered
_Addresses

Applies to: Servers 		When initially connecting to a server, Domino 7 tries all the addresses for all the ports for that server until one works. To speed up subsequent server searching, Notes and Domino default to caching the last successful port and address for a server and use only the cached address for the rest of the day. This makes attempts to connect to a server that is down very fast. If an administrator plans to change the address of a server, it should be done late in the evening, since the cache is not used again the next day. This works well for servers that have only one address. However, if the server has multiple valid addresses (it can be multi-homed with multiple IPV4 addresses, or it can have both IPV6 and IPV4 addresses), and a successful address for a server is unavailable, the remaining addresses won't be tried until the next day, when the server cache is cleared. In order to bypass the cache, and have the Domino server try all addresses for a given server, you must set this notes.ini variable. Doing so will cause slower server connection failures when servers go down, because every connection attempt will try every port and every address.
0 (default) - Domino server will use port and address from the cache
1 - Domino server will try all ports and addresses for a given server
Dont_Use_Remembered
_Addresses = value 		There is no UI equivalent.
DST

Applies to: Servers and clients 		Specifies that a server or workstation observe daylight saving time:
0 - Do not observe daylight saving time
1 (default) - Observe daylight saving time
When you select this option, the created/modified time for documents created or modified from the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November are time-stamped one hour later than the server's system time. This option lets you adjust for daylight saving time without changing the actual system time. 		DST = value On a workstation, the Daylight saving time field is on the Basics tab in the Advanced tab in the Location document; on a server, the Daylight saving time field is in the Server document. For information on additional ways to adjust the time stamp for daylight savings time, see "DST_Begin_Date," "DST_End_Date," and "DSTlaw."
DSTlaw

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies when daylight saving time (DST) is observed. By default, the DST period is defined as the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. (This is the period during which DST is observed in the United States.) The variables begin_month, begin_week, and begin_day define the month, week, and day, respectively, when DST begins. The variables end_month, end_week, and end_day define when DST ends. Months are 1 (January) through 12 (December); weeks are 1 through 4; days are 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday). You use negative numbers to specify the weeks, where -1 is the last week of the month, -2 is the second to last week, and so on. For example, the default setting for this variable is 3 -3 1 11 -4 1 (The second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November). DSTlaw = begin_month, begin_week, begin_day, end_month, end_week, end_day None. For information on additional ways to adjust the time stamp for daylight savings time, see "DST," "DST_Begin_Date," and "DST_End_Date."
DST_Begin_Date

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the date when daylight saving time begins, specified in dd/mm/year format. In most cases, this parameter is not necessary. Some regions of the world do not recognize the beginning of daylight saving time on the second Sunday in March. If your server is in a region where this is true, use this parameter to specify the exact date when DST begins. Use this setting along with DST_End_Date, which specifies when daylight saving time ends. There is no default setting, although if this setting is omitted, daylight saving time begins the first Sunday in April. DST_Begin_Date = dd/mm/year There is no UI equivalent. For information on additional ways to adjust the time stamp for daylight saving, see "DST," "DST_End_Date," and "DSTlaw."
DST_End_Date

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies the date when daylight saving time ends, specified in dd/mm/year format. In most cases, this parameter is not necessary. Some regions of the world do not recognize the ending of daylight saving time as the last Sunday in October. If your server is in a region where this is true, use this parameter to specify the exact date when DST ends. Use this setting along with DST_Begin_Date, which specifies when daylight saving time begins. There is no default setting, although if this setting is omitted, daylight saving time ends the last Sunday in October. DST_End_Date = dd/mm/year There is no UI equivalent. For information on additional ways to adjust the time stamp for daylight saving, see "DST," "DST_Begin_Date," and "DSTlaw."

Notes.ini settings: E
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
EmptyTrash

Applies to: Clients 		Specifies when and how the Trash folder will be purged of documents marked for deletion. Options are:
0 (default) - Prompt the user before closing the database
1 - Always empty the Trash folder before closing the database
2 - Empty the Trash folder manually 		EmptyTrash = value UI equivalent: File - Preferences - User Preferences - Basics - Empty Trash folder
Enable_ACL_Files

Applies to: Servers 		Specifies whether or not to enable ACL file checking on a server. ACL files are an option for protecting server directories, and contain the names of users authorized to access those directories. Servers in xSP configurations enable this feature by default. In an xSP configuration, an individual ACL file is automatically created for each individual hosted organization, to prevent users in one hosted organization from traversing a directory that belongs to another hosted organization.
0 - Disable ACL file checking (default for non-XSP configurations)
1 - Enable ACL file checking (default for xSP configurations) 		Enable_ACL_Files = value There is no UI equivalent
EnableBiDiNotes

Applies to: Clients 		Use this variable to toggle the support for bi-directional Languages (for example Arabic or Hebrew).
0 (default) - Turns BiDirectional support off
1 - Turns BiDirectional support on 		EnableBiDiNotes = value There is no UI equivalent
Enforce_Personal
_Agents

Applies to: Servers 		Used for running agents in a transitional environment, for example a Domino 6 server and Notes 5 clients and templates. Notes 6.0 users with LotusScript rights are automatically granted personal agent rights. If this variable is enabled, users who have LotusScript rights are not granted personal agent rights unless they are explicitly listed in the Server record or if the Personal agents field is blank. .
0 (default) - do not enforce personal agents
1 - enforce personal agents 		Enforce_Personal
_Agents = value 		There is no UI equivalent
Event_Pool_Size

Applies to: Servers 		Use this variable to specify the amount of memory used for unprocessed events, unprocessed notifications, and event suppression. The default setting is 10 MB. The minimum setting is 5 MB and the maximum setting is 100 MB.
  • As a best practice, setting this variable to the maximum of 100 MB will help if the Event Monitor is temporarily overloaded.
  • Changes in this parameter require quitting and restarting the server, or use of the "restart server" command. More specifically, it requires release of the Domino shared memory in which the pool is stored. This means that any Notes client, Domino program, or Notes API program from another vendor, which is running from the same Domino data directory, must also be stopped. If there are several such programs from other vendors running (as with Windows NT services), it may be simpler to shut down and restart the system.
  • If you use the parameter Event_Pool_Size = 5,242,880 on AIX or iSeries, this will prevent HTTP from starting. You cannot use commas in the memory size value. This parameter would have to be set as Event_Pool_Size = 5242880 on the iSeries platform.
Event_Pool_Size = value There is no UI equivalent.
ExtMgr_AddIns

Applies to: Servers and clients 		Defines the list of add-in files for the Extension Manager. Domino or Notes reads this variable on initialization and then attempts to load the specified library or libraries. For example:

ExtMgr_AddIns=logdll,amgrdll

In addition, you can use ExtMgr_AddIns to add one or more custom Extension Manager applications. The name of the add-in file may begin with the platform specifier character N under Windows. This character may be omitted when using the ExtMgr_AddIns setting. There is no default setting.

ExtMgr_AddIns = value1, value2, value3... There is no UI equivalent
