Notes.ini settings: F
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
Fault_Analyzer
_Match_Percentage

Applies to: Servers
Fault Analyzer is an aspect of the Automatic Diagnostic Collection that allows client and server crashes that occur at customer sites to be automatically matched against known crashes to determine if there are any matches. If the crash results from a known issue that is fixed in a release subsequent to that at the customer site, IBM/Lotus provides the optional configuration to download the upgrade kit into the Smart Upgrade database to enable the user to upgrade to resolve the problem. The formula used to determine a partial match between the two stacks depends on the average length of the stacks. If the average stack length is:
  • 4 - 100% (exact match)
  • 4 - at least 75% of the stack has to match
  • 5-7 - at least 60% of the stack has to match
  • 8 - at least 40% of the stack has to match
However, this can be overidden by using the Fault_Analyzer_Match_Percentage .ini variable, which applies the specified percentage to the number of matching function names in the two stacks, regardless of average stack length. There is no default setting.
Fault_Analyzer
_Match_Percentage = percentage
There is no UI equivalent
FaultRecoveryFromINI

Applies to: Servers
Because fault recovery runs after an exception has occurred, it makes use of operating system features, rather than relying on Domino's internal facilities. The fault-recovery system, therefore, is initialized before the Domino Directory can be read. During this initialization, fault-recovery settings are read from the notes.ini file, then later read from the Domino Directory and saved back to the notes.ini file. Any changes to the Domino Directory or the notes.ini file become effective when the Domino server is restarted.
0 (default)- Enable the reading of the Domino Directory and subsequent update to the notes.ini file
1 - Disable the reading of the Domino Directory and subsequent update to the notes.ini file
However, this can be overidden by using the Fault_Analyzer_Match_Percentage .ini variable, which applies the specified percentage to the number of matching function names in the two stacks, regardless of average stack length. There is no default setting.
FaultRecoveryFromINI = value There is no UI equivalent
FileDlgDirectory

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the default directory for all file searches. If you specify this setting, Domino looks only in the specified location. There is no default setting, although if this setting is omitted, Domino searches the Domino Data directory. FileDlgDirectory = path There is no UI equivalent
Fixup_Tasks

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the maximum number of Fixup tasks that are created at server startup. A Fixup task performs a consistency check on any database that requires it. Server initialization continues while Fixup tasks run. The default setting is twice the number of CPUs on the system. Fixup_Tasks = number of tasks There is no UI equivalent
FormulaTimeout

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the time period, in seconds, in which a formula is allowed to run. There is no default setting. FormulaTimeout = time in seconds There is no UI equivalent
FT_Domain
_Directory_Name

Applies to: Servers
Allows users and administrators to select the location and name of the domain index. By default, the domain index is located in the Domino data directory and is named FTDOMAIN.DI. If an alternate location is specified using this setting, Domino will support directory links and index relocation. There is no default setting; if this setting is omitted, the Domain Index is located in the Domino data directory. FT_Domain
_Directory_Name = directory
There is no UI equivalent
FT_Domain_IdXthdsS

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the number of indexing threads to use for Domain Search. Using more threads lets the Domain Catalog server index more files simultaneously, but requires more CPU utilization, and response to search queries may be slow. With fewer indexing threads, search speeds up because of greater CPU a vailability, but changes are not reflected in the index as quickly. There is no default setting, although if this setting is omitted, the default number of threads used is two per CPU. For example, a server with two CPUs uses four indexing threads by default when indexing. Do not exceed eight threads per server or you may degrade the performance of the server, even on servers with more than four CPUs. FT_Domain_IdXthds = number of threads There is no UI equivalent
FT_Index
_Attachments

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether to exclude types of document attachments in the Domain Index that are not already excluded by default. A value of 1 includes these document attachments in the index, and a value of 2 excludes all other types of attachments in addition to the default list. The following types of attachments are excluded from the Domain Index by default: .au, .bqy, .cca, .dbd, .dll, .exe, .gif, .img, .jpg, .mov, .mp3, .mpg, .nsf, .ntf, .p7m, .p7s, .pag, .pdb, .sys, .tar, .tif, .wav, .wpl, and .zip. The default setting is 1.FT_Index
_Attachments = value
There is no UI equivalent
FT_Index_Ignore
_Attachment_Types

Applies to: Servers
Specifies a specific set of attachment types to exclude from the Domain Index in addition to types already excluded by default. The following types of attachments are excluded from the Domain Index by default: .au, .bqy, .cca, .dbd, .dll, .exe, .gif, .img, .jpg, .mov, .mp3, .mpg, .nsf, .ntf, .p7m, .p7s, .pag, .pdb, .sys, .tar, .tif, .wav, .wpl, and .zip.
The value list is a list of file type extensions. Use a comma (,) to separate list items; for example, a valid list is: .asf,*.avi,*.bin,*.bmp.
There is no default setting.
FT_Index_Ignore
_Attachment_Types = list
There is no UI equivalent
FT_Intl_Setting

Applies to: Clients
Imposes several limitations on full text functionality to let Notes work properly with the Japanese language. When enabled (set to 1), this setting turns off stemming, makes all full text indexes case-sensitive, and ignores the setting for the stop word file. There is no default setting. FT_Intl_Setting = language There is no UI equivalent
FT_Max_Search
_Results

Applies to: Servers and clients
Specifies the maximum number of results (up to 2147483647) that can be retrieved at one time on a database without any index. For example: FT_Max_Search_Results = 10000 allows a single NotesDatabase or NotesDocumentCollection "FTSearch" to return up to 10000 entries. Default setting is 5000. FT_Max_Search
_Results = number of entries
There is no UI equivalent
FT_No_Compwintitle

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether the Domain Catalog server computes the window titles for documents that are returned by a search.
XXX (default)- Computes document window titles
1 - Omits the computation of document window titles, thus conserving CPU.
FT_No_Compwintitle = value There is no UI equivalent
FTG_No_Summary

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether document summaries can be displayed in search results. If you use server access lists within a domain to limit access to information, you might need to check the ACLs of databases on those servers to ensure that results are filtered. Otherwise, a search might return a result to a user who cannot access the result document. If the Domain Catalog server is on a Windows system, search results can include document summaries whereby users might be able to discern confidential information. If you are running Domino on Windows and are not sure that you can properly maintain database ACLs to prevent this, you might want to disable document summaries by using this setting in the Domain Catalog server's notes.ini file. For information on Domain Search security, see the chapter "Setting Up Domain Search" in the Domino Administration Help. See also Domain Search Security.
XXX (default)- Allows the display of document summaries in search results.
1 - Prevents the display of document summaries in search results.
FTG_No_Summary = value There is no UI equivalent.
FT_Summ
_Default_Language

Applies to: Clients
Specifies the language for a document summary in search results whenever the language in the document is not supported. Valid values (supported languages) are as follows. If a locale's native language is not supported, use a value of NULL or english.
  • bokmal
  • danish
  • default (You can use this value for the locale's native language, if supported.)
  • dutch
  • english
  • finnish
  • french
  • german
  • italian
  • NULL (English will be the language used.)
  • nynorsk
  • portugue (Use this value for the Portuguese language.)
  • spanish
  • swedish
FT_Summ
_Default_Language = value
There is no UI equivalent.
FTUpdate_Idle_Time

Applies to: Servers (D only)
Use this variable if the FT index thread is running to specify the number of seconds between full text indexes. Default value is 5.FTUpdate_Idle_Time = number of seconds There is no UI equivalent
FTUpdate_Idle
_Time_MS

Applies to: Servers (Domino 7 only)
Use this variable if the FT index thread is running to specify the number of milliseconds between full text indexes. Default value is 5.FTUpdate_Idle
_Time_MS = number of milliseconds
None.

Notes.ini settings: G
SettingDescriptionExampleUI Eqivalent
GuessMIMEBodyLang

Applies to: Client
Applies to Domino Web Access. Use this setting so that Domino Web Access will determine which character set group to use based on the language used in the body of e-mail messages. By default, Domino Web Access determines the character set for e-mail being sent, based on settings in the Configuration Settings document (MIME - Settings by Character Set Groups tab). When GuessMIMEBodyLang is set to 0 (default), and the "Use UTF-8 for outout" setting in Server document (Internet Protocols - Domino Web Engine tab) is turned on, Unicode is used as the character set group. When this is set to 1, Domino Web Access guesses the language of the mail body and uses that language for the character set group.GuessMIMEBodyLang = value There is no UI equivalent

Notes.ini settings: H
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
Health_Report_Purge
_After_N_Days

Applies to: Servers
Used for server health monitoring. N is the number of days that historical documents remain in the database. By default, historical reports are purged from the database after seven days. To override the default, add this variable to the notes.ini file, and specify the number of days for which historical documents remain in the database. Default setting is 7 days.Health_Report_Purge
_After_N_Days = number of days
There is no UI equivalent.
HidePromptFailoverInc Applies to workstations. When the server that holds an application is no longer responding, the user is prompted to choose whether Notes should switch to a replica on another server. This INI variable allows users to suppress this prompt—the failover just occurs.
  • 0 (default) - The user is prompted when a server is not responding.
  • 1 - Prompts to the user are suppressed when a server is not responding. (This does not prevent Notes from failing over.)
HidePromptFailoverInc = valueThere is no UI equivalent.
HidePromptFailoverInc

Applies to: Clients
When the server that holds an application is no longer responding, the user is prompted to choose whether Notes should switch to a replica on another server. This INI variable allows users to suppress this prompt—the failover just occurs.
0 (default) - The user is prompted when a server is not responding.
1 - Prompts to the user are suppressed when a server is not responding. (This does not prevent Notes from failing over.)
HidePromptFailoverInc = value There is no UI equivalent.
HTTPDisableMethods

Applies to: Servers
If you are using the Web Configurations view instead of Internet Sites, you can disable HTTP methods by setting this variable with a value of the method name. For example, to disable the TRACE method, you would enter HTTPDisableMethods = TRACE. HTTPDisableMethods = method name There is no UI equivalent.
HTTPEnableConnector
Headers

Applies to: Servers
Enables the Domino HTTP task to process special headers that are added to requests by a WebSphere 4.0.3 plug-in installed on a foreign Web server. When the plug-in relays an HTTP request to the Domino back-end server, the plug-in adds headers that include information about the front-end server's configuration and user authentication status. As a security measure, the HTTP task ignores these headers if the setting is not enabled. This prevents an attack via plug-in mimicking.
0 (default) - The Domino HTTP task does not process the special headers.
1 - The Domino HTTP task does process the special headers.
HTTPEnableConnector
Headers = value
There is no UI equivalent.
HTTPLogUnauthorized

Applies to: Servers
When set to 1, the Web Server logs Error 401 instances to the server console. These instances are generated when a user attempts to access a resource but is not authorized for it, or when a user has failed to authenticate. There is no default setting. Without this setting, Error 401 instances are not logged to the server console. With or without this setting, Error 401 instances are logged to the Web Server logs. HTTPLogUnauthorized = value There is no UI equivalent.
HTTP_PWD_CHANGE
_CACHE_HOURS

Applies to: Servers
Use this notes.ini parameter to configure the length of time that the information is cached. Once the information times out from the cache, the user can only log in using the password that can be verified against the password information found by the server in the Domino Directory. By default, the cached new Internet password is honored by the HTTP server for 48 hours. HTTP_PWD_CHANGE
_CACHE_HOURS = number of hours
There is no UI equivalent.

Back to top



Notes.ini settings: I
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
ICMNotesPort

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the name of the Notes network port for TCP/IP that you are linking the Internet Cluster Manager (ICM) service with. This setting is required for a partitioned server hosting the ICM service, and for a single server hosting that service if the server has more than one Notes port for TCP/IP. There is no default setting. ICMNotesPort = port name There is no UI equivalent.
ID_Recovery_Suppress
_Recovery_Msg

Applies to: Clients
Prior to Domino 7, if an administrator updated ID recovery information, a memo was generated that administrators could use to notify users that their ID recovery information has been updated, and to prompt them to accept recovery information into their user ID. Administrators can use this variable to suppress the creation of this memo, as it is no longer necessary for users to manually accept recovery information. There is no default setting. This option is not enabled if the notes.ini variable is not present in the .INI file. ID_Recovery_Suppress
_Recovery_Msg = 1
There is no UI equivalent.
IDVAULT_COUNT1

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
Number of Notes sessions since the last synchronization with the ID vault.
This session counter is incremented when the Notes client is started and it is zeroed out when the user performs a sync.
Informational only
IDVault_Max
_Auth_Failures

Applies to: Servers (8.5 or later)
The maximum number of consecutive ID download attempts from the ID vault that are allowed in a day before attempts are denied.

Default is 10.
IDVault_Max
_Auth_Failures = value

For example, a customer wants to enforce a stricter security policy so uses the following setting to allow only three chances for users to specify correct passwords:

IDVault_Max_
Auth_Failures = 3
IDVault_Max_Auth
_Failure_Cache_Size

Applies to: Servers (8.5 or later)
The size allowed for the bad password cache. When a user enters a bad password a bad password entry is made in a cache. The cache is cleared daily. If the limit is reached an error is logged suggesting that too many people have entered bad passwords and the administrator should check the log for an attack.

Default value is 500 bad passwords.
IDVault_Max_Auth
_Failure_Cache_Size = value

For example, a company's ID vault holds a very large number of ID files and people often legitimately forget their passwords, so the company uses the following setting to increase the value to 1000:

IDVault_Max_Auth
_Failure_Cache_Size = 1000
IDVAULT_RESYNC_INTERVAL

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
Changing this value controls the delay between changes being made in the ID vault and the change coming down to the client (sooner when interval is shorter). It also controls the balance between resources used on the server (less when interval is longer).

Default is 480 mins (8 hours).
IDVAULT_RESYNC_INTERVAL = minutes

For example, company would like changes made to IDs in the vault to be downloaded to clients within 5 hours rather than 8 hours. The ID vault server has no problem handling the increased load. The company uses the following setting:

IDVAULT_RESYNC_INTERVAL = 300
To prevent a heavy load on the server when the ID vault is first enabled for a large group of users, we stagger the time that each user attempts their first resync with the vault for the Notes session. This time is a random point between 1 poll cycle (default 5 mins) and the resync interval.
IDVAULT_STAMP1

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
Last time client has synchronized with the ID vault.
If it has been more than 24 hours since this user has last sync'd AND IDVAULT_COUNT1 is greater than 4, then the client synchronizes immediately. This mechanism is in place so that user's who don't run their Notes clients for extended periods will still regularly perform ID file synchronizations. It does take into account weekends, holidays, and company shutdowns so that we do not have a sync storm after those events.
Informational only
IDVaultLastFlushTime

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
The last time that the IDVAULT_LAST_SERVER variable was deleted. It is flushed every 2 weeks so that load balancing will occur among the vault replicas after a change in replicas or a replica failure / recovery. Informational only
IDVaultLastServer

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
The name of the ID vault server last used successfully. We try this server name the next time we do a transaction to avoid the cost of asking the home server for a referral list. Informational only
IDV_POLL_INTERVAL

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
The maximum time to wait for completion after attempting ID download from the ID vault. Note that a download is attempted whenever a user miss-types the Notes password or enters a new password to obtain an ID from the vault.

Specify a value in milliseconds. Default value is 5000 (5 seconds).
IDV_POLL_INTERVAL = milliseconds

For example, for an ID vault server, a small company uses an existing server already used for other applications. Server response can sometimes be slow, so the company uses the following setting to increase the delay to 10 seconds to give the vault server time to respond:

IDV_POLL_INTERVAL = 10000
If access to the vault server is slow, this setting can be used to solve two problems:
1) When a user enters the correct password for the ID in the vault but the ID is not downloaded within this period the user is told the password is wrong. The user must try again with the same password. To reduce the likelihood of this problem on slower systems, increase this maximum wait time.
2) When a user miss-types the password and the vault server does not respond with an error quickly, the user must wait this amount of time before they are told that their password is wrong

Select a value that is a balance between these two needs.
IM_Enable_SSO

Applies to: Servers
Instant Messaging (IM) is included in the Notes client installation, and is installed when you install the Notes client. As an administrator, you can include IM in single sign-on with Lotus Notes and push this feature down to users through dynamic configuration through the notes.ini variable, IM_ENABLE_SSO. If this variable is set to 1, IM with single sign on is enabled; if this variable is set to 0 (zero), single sign on for IM is disabled. There is no default value. IM_Enable_SSO = value Setting in User Preferences dialog box
IMAILExactSize

Applies to: Servers
Specifies that the IMAP service report the exact size of a MIME message when requested by a client.
0 (default) - The IMAP service estimates the message size
1 - The IMAP service reports the exact message size
By default, the IMAP service estimates the message size. This helps improve server performance. Set this to 1 only if clients require the exact size.
IMAILExactSize = value There is no UI equivalent.
IMAP_Config
_Update_Interval

Applies to: Servers
Specifies in minutes how frequently the IMAP server checks for configuration changes made to the Domino Directory. There is no default setting, although the update interval is 2 minutes if this setting is not included in notes.ini file. IMAP_Config
_Update_Interval = number of minutes
There is no UI equivalent.

Certain IMAP properties are not dynamically configured and require you to shut down and restart the service before they go into effect. Also, a given IMAP session uses whatever properties were in effect at the time the session began for the duration of that session; configuration changes apply only to IMAP sessions started after the update occurs.
IMAP_Convert
_Nodisable_Folder_Refs

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether the mail conversion utility (CONVERT) preserves folder references when updating mail files for use with the Domino 6 IMAP service. There is no default setting, although without this variable, Domino removes folder references during conversion.
0 (or variable not set) - The conversion process disables folder references.
1 - The conversion process preserves folder references.
IMAP_Convert
_Nodisable_Folder_Refs = value
There is no UI equivalent.

In earlier releases of Domino, the IMAP service used folder references in the mail template to retrieve IMAP folder and message data. Because the Domino 6 IMAP service does not use folder references, and preserving folder references retards IMAP performance, by default, when you run the mail conversion utility (CONVERT) to prepare mail files for IMAP use, it removes folder references from the converted mail files. Set this variable only in environments where Domino applications other than the IMAP service use folder references in mail files to track information. When this variable is set, folder references are preserved during all mail file conversions, whether performed manually from the server console, or automatically as the result of an IMAP user logging in to the IMAP service for the first time. Following conversion, the IMAP folder and message data maintained by folder references is initially synchronized with the Domino 6 IMAP information. However, as the Router delivers new messages to the mail file, folder references are not updated.
IMAPDisableFTI
ImmedUpdate

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether or how the IMAP server will do an immediate FTI update after a new message is appended. This is required for searching for new messages immediately. By default, the IMAP server does an immediate FTI update after a new message is appended.
1 - Suppress the update request (by default, the update suppression time is 15 minutes)
2 - Disable FTI update
IMAPDisableFTI
ImmedUpdate = value
There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPDisableMsgCache

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether the IMAP server will cache the last fetched message. By default, the IMAP server caches the last fetched message.
1 - Disable the cache
IMAPDisableMsgCache = value There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPGreeting

Applies to: Servers
Customizes the greeting the IMAP server sends to clients connecting over TCP/IP. There is no default, although without the setting the following greeting is used:
* OK Domino IMAP4 Server V5.0 ready Mon, 10 May 1999 17:57:13 -0500
IMAPGreeting = greeting There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPNotesPort

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the name of the Notes network port for TCP/IP that you are linking the IMAP service with. This setting is required for a partitioned server hosting IMAP, and for a single server hosting it if the server more than one Notes port for TCP/IP. There is no default setting. For information on binding an Internet service to an IP address, see the chapter "Setting Up the Domino Network" in the Domino Administration Help.IMAPNotesPort = port name There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPRedirect
SSLGreeting

Applies to: Servers
Customizes the message the IMAP server sends to clients attempting to connect over TCP/IP when the TCP/IP port is configured to Redirect to SSL. There is no default setting, although without the setting the following greeting is used: IMAP Server configured for SSL Connections only. Please reconnect using the SSL Port portnumber.IMAPRedirect
SSLGreeting = greeting
There is no UI equivalent.
IMAP_Session
_Timeout

Applies to: Servers
Specifies when the IMAP server drops idle IMAP client sessions. We recommend specifying a setting greater than ten minutes; many IMAP clients poll for new mail every ten minutes and the overhead of supporting idle session is less than the overhead required to support clients logging on and opening mailboxes. There is no default setting, although without this setting, the server drops idle sessions after 30 minutes.IMAP_Session
_Timeout = number of minutes
There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPShowIdleStatus

Applies to: Servers
If enabled, the command "sh task" at the server console will show idle IMAP threads. By default, this is disabled. Set the variable to 1 to enable the display of idle IMAP threads.IMAPShowIdleStatus = value There is no UI equivalent.
IMAPSSLGreeting

Applies to: Servers
Customizes the greeting the IMAP server sends to clients connecting over SSL. There is no default, although without the setting the following greeting is used:
* OK Domino IMAP4 Server V4.6 ready Mon, 12 May 1997 17:57:13 -0500
IMAPSSLGreeting = greeting There is no UI equivalent.
IM_No_Setup

Applies to: Clients
Use this variable to allow users to bypass IM Configuration. If this setting is enabled (IM_No_Setup = 1), the IM Config dialog box will not appear during new client setup or client upgrade. In addition, if this variable is enabled, any IM variables in a scripted client setup will be ignored. The default setting is 0 (disabled).IM_No_Setup = value There is no UI equivalent.
IM_USE
_CANONICAL_NAME

Applies to: Clients
Use this variable when your IBM Lotus Instant Messaging server is configured to lookup names in the Notes canonical hierarchical form (for example: CN= John Smith/OU= Sales/O= Acme). The default setting is 0 - Lookup names in the Notes abbreviated hierarchical form (for example: "John Smith/Sales/Acme").IM_USE
_CANONICAL_NAME = 1
The "Use a canonical name for instant messaging status lookup" on the Instant Messaging - General pane in the User Preferences dialog box.
Incoming Mail Sound

NOTE: This variable name contains spaces.

Applies to: Clients
Specifies the tune that plays when mail arrives. The file is a sound file, usually a WAV file. There is no default setting.IncomDefault: NoneThe Play a Sound field on the Mail tab in the User Preferences dialog box.
INET_Authenticate
_with_Secondary

Applies to: Servers
Allows a Domino POP3 server to use passwords stored in directories other than the primary for services other than HTTP, such as LDAP, IMAP, and POP3. The default setting is 1.
0 - Disables this setting
1 - Enables this setting
INET_Authenticate
_with_Secondary = value
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA_Areas

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting to disable any combination of the six functional areas in Domino Web Access: Welcome, Mail, Calendar, To Do, Contacts, or Notebook. Each area can contain a value of 0 to disable an area, or 1 to enable an area.

The format is iNotes_WA_Areas = ABCDEF where:

A = Welcome
B = Mail
C = Calendar
D = ToDo
E = Contacts
F = Notebook

Example: In this example, all sections except for Mail and Contacts are disabled:

iNotes_WA_Areas = 010010

The default setting is 111111—if this setting is not used, all functional areas are enabled by default.
iNotes_WA_Areas = value There is no UI equivalent. Added in 8.0
iNotes_WA
_AuthTokenName

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Set to the name of an authentication token cookie if you are using something other than an LTPA token. The default setting is LTPAToken.iNotes_WA
_AuthTokenName = token name
There is no UI equivalent. Added in 7.0
iNotes_WA
_AutoUseWebmail

Applies to: Clients
Applies to all Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting to bypass the browser block and automatically go to WebMail, if Domino Web Access is not supported by the browser, and Webmail is. The default setting is 0.
0 - Does not fail over to Webmail when using a browser that is not supported by Domino Web Access.
1 - Automatically invokes Webmail if Domino Web Access is not supported by the browser in use.
iNotes_WA
_AutoUseWebmail = value
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA
_CalOverlay

Applies to: Clients (8.5 or later)
Use this setting to enable or disable the ability for end users to add external calendars to their Lotus iNotes calendars. You can use this setting if you do not want to enable this feature using a policy settings document (Mail policy settings, Lotus iNotes - Configuration tab: Allow Calendar Subscriptions).

Not present - (default) feature is enabled or disabled via a policy setting
0 - Disabled server wide. Using this setting overrides the policy setting
1 - Enabled server wide. Using this setting overrides the policy setting
iNotes_WA
_CalOverlay = value
You can also enable external calendars using the "Allow calendar subscriptions" field on the Lotus iNotes - Configuration tab of the Mail policy settings document.
iNotes_WA
_ConfirmBlockedActiveX

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. If a user has not installed the latest Domino Web Access ActiveX control and if the installation is blocked by the browser, they will be asked once per session to confirm that Domino Web Access should continue to try to utilize the ActiveX control on subsequent pages (which is necessary to get the control installed). This setting provides a way to disable this prompt and for Domino Web Access to not use the Domino Web Access ActiveX control on subsequent pages (if it isn't already installed).
0 - Suppresses confirmation box.
1 (default) - Confirmation box displays.
If the confirmation box is suppressed, a user can now install the ActiveX control from the Domino Web Access Preferences dialog.
iNotes_WA
_ConfirmBlockedActiveX = value
There is no UI equivalent. Added in 8.0.
iNotes_WA
_ConvertPlainTextMemo

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting to disable performing MIME-CD conversion when sending plain text messages.
0 - Disables conversion
1 (default) - MIME-CD conversion is used when sending plain text messages
iNotes_WA
_ConvertPlainTextMemo = value
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA
_DefaultDictionary

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. This value can be set by the administrator to specify the default spell check dictionary for Domino Web Access users. When used, it should be set to one of the dictionary file names found in the Domino server's data directory (for example, us.dic). Users can override this default by selecting a default dictionary from Domino Web Access Preferences. The default setting is None; wpdic.dic is used if no dictionary is supplied.iNotes_WA
_DefaultDictionary = dictionary name
There is no UI equivalent. Added in 8.0.
iNotes_WA
_DefaultFormatPlainText

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting to set the default mail format preference to plain text. When this variable is set to 1 and the user has not set the default format in preferences, messages are automatically sent in plain text. If Domino Web Access users have indicated the user preference "prompt me when sending," the default format on the prompt is also set to plain text. This setting does not prevent users from setting a DWA user preference for how to format mail.

0 (default) - No default text format is set.
1 - For new users, sets default mail format preference to plain text.
iNotes_WA
_DefaultFormatPlainText = value
There is no UI equivalent. Added in 7.0.
iNotes_wa_DefaultUI

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Set this option to WebMail so that the default UI for mail files for WebHybrid applications is WebMail. The default, if this option is not set, is to use the Domino Web Access UI. iNotes_wa_DefaultUI = webmail There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA

_LogoutScrubType

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access IE clients using the Domino Web Access Control. Sets the automatic cache clearing level for the Domino Web Access server.

0 <nozeros> - (Default) Best for subsequent Domino Web Access performance. Deletes all URLs that begin with the mail file path, except those that have a strategically placed KeepInCache (&KIC) argument. This argument marks page pieces that contain mostly design. Keeping these pieces in the cache offers a significant performance improvement when next using Domino Web Access. Examples of files deleted from the cache: Parts to a MIME message retrieved via a separate URL. Attachments opened when not using the Domino Web Access control.
1 <nozeros> - Deletes all URLs that begin with the mail file path. This is the best balance between Domino Web Access performance and security. It does not impact caching used by other Domino or other web applications, nor does it impact caching of pages on the same Domino server or on other servers. Examples of files deleted from the cache (in addition to those listed for type 0): Most list and calendar view HTML top-level pages. The s_SessionInfo JavaScript page, which contains data about various preferences and relevant Domino Web Access configuration settings. Includes various variants of the current user's name (common name, abbreviated canonical name, full canonical name). The h_TOC JavaScript page, which contains information about the functional areas available for current user and initial URL information. The s_Outline, which contains information about folder names.
2 <nozeros> - Deletes all URLs in the cache that originate from the server hostname, except for URLs that contain /iNotes/Forms7.nsf, the current forms file (or /iNotes/Forms6.nsf). The best balance of performance and security when the user might access other pages in Domino databases on the same server, or might access Domino Web Access and other reverse proxied intranet sites that might be cached (for example, linking to sites via QuickLinks in the Welcome page or through document links in received mail). For pages accessed via reverse proxy, the server refers to the Reverse Proxy server. Does not impact the performance of other Web sites the user might visit after logout. Examples of files deleted from the cache (in addition to those listed for types 0 and 1):
- Pages generated from any other Notes or non-Notes Web application on the server
- In a reverse proxy scenario, pages generated from any other Notes or non-Notes web application on the same server or any other server that is reachable from a reverse proxy server - Domino view icons
3 <nozeros> - Deletes all URLs in the cache that originate from the server hostname. Provides more security, but impacts Domino Web Access performance negatively for subsequent logons because all cached static script and image pieces are deleted. Does not impact web applications or pages generated from other servers, so does not negatively impact performance of other Web sites the user might visit after logout. Examples of files deleted from the cache (in addition to those listed for Types 0-2) are URLs to /iNotes/Forms6.nsf, as well as Domino Web Access static code pages, images, and style sheet.
4 <nozeros> - (Secure option) Deletes all URLs in the cache except for URLs that contain /iNotes/Forms7.nsf, the current forms file (or /iNotes/Forms6.nsf). The best balance of performance and security for Domino Web Access, but may negatively impact the performance of other web applications or pages the user might be using. Examples of files deleted from the cache (beyond those listed for type 0-2) are any external web pages loaded by the Domino Web Access Welcome page, or traversed to via Domino Web Access or any other browser instance.
5 <nozeros> - (More Secure option) Deletes all URLs in the cache. Provides the highest security, but has the greatest impact on Domino Web Access performance for subsequent logons since all cached static script and image pieces are deleted. Examples of files deleted from the cache (beyond those listed for all other types) are URLs to /iNotes/Forms7.nsf, the current forms file (or /iNotes/Forms6.nsf), as well as Domino Web Access static code pages, images, and style sheet.

iNotes_WA
_SametimeRemoteToken

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting when the Domino Web Access server is used in conjunction with a reverse proxy server (such as Tivoli Access Manager) where LtpaToken authentication is not being used. In such scenarios, Domino Web Access must query the server for the authentication Token (as it is not available at the client). When set, this option queries the server for the token name.

iNotes_WA
_SametimeRemoteToken = LtpaToken
iNotes_WA
_SametimeRemoteToken = 1
(defaults to tokenname == LtpaToken)
iNotes_WA
_SametimeRemoteToken = tokenname
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_wa
_SecMailPreferNotes

Applies to: Clients
Applies to all Domino Web Access clients. By default, Domino Web Access uses S/MIME sign and encryption when both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible. This could cause problems in a mixed environment that includes both Domino 7 and pre-Domino 7 servers. Pre-Domino 7 servers do not support S/MIME, so messages sent S/MIME signed or encrypted could not be verified or decrypted. Use this setting to turn on Notes sign and encryption when both S/MIME and Notes sign and encryption are possible.
0 - off (default - When both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible, use S/MIME sign and encryption)
1 - on (When both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible, use Notes sign/encryption)

iNotes_WA
_SkipEndIESession

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access IE clients using the Domino Web Access Control. Use this setting to avoid issues with other open Web pages being negatively impacted by a Domino Web Access logout. When the Domino Web Access control is in use, Domino Web Access makes a call to end the IE session as part of a Domino Web Access logout. This clears any login credentials stored in IE memory and in memory cookies being used within this IE process (or any child processes spawned from this process). It is preferable for users to log in to other web sites through a separate instance of IE, instead of using this setting. Users can start the additional instances from the desktop, the Quick Launch toolbar, or the Start menu. When users start additional instances in this way, logging out of Domino Web Access does impact the other IE windows.
0 (default) - Disables this setting
1 - Enables this setting
iNotes_WA
_SkipEndIESession = value
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA
_NameTypeahead

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access or Lotus iNotes lite mode clients only. Use this setting to control whether or not to invoke type-ahead, and if it is invoked, what triggers it. If you set this value to 2, then you must also set iNotes_WA_NameTypeaheadMinChars and iNotes_WA_NameTypeaheadStartTimeout. Values are:
0 - (default) Type-ahead is not enabled
1 - Invokes type-ahead immediately after a comma is typed
2 - Invokes type-ahead immediately after a comma is typed, or after the conditions of both iNotes_WA_NameTypeaheadMinChars and iNotes_WA_NameTypeaheadStartTimeout are satisfied
iNotes_WA
_NameTypeahead = value
There is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA
_UseInternetAddrForXsp

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting in an xSP server environment, to force the From and Principal fields to use the "Internet address" format when sending email.
0 (default) - off
1 - on
iNotes_WA
_UseInternetAddrForXsp = value
There is no UI equivalent. Added in 7.0 and 6.5.4.
iNotes_WA_Ultralite

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access 8.0.2 or later and Lotus iNotes 8.5 or later clients. Use this setting to disable the availability of ultralite mode server-wide. Ultralite mode is enabled by default.
0 - Disables ultralite mode.
1 - (default) Enabled.
iNotes_WA_Ultralite = valueThere is no UI equivalent.
iNotes_WA
_UseSTServerForOnlineMeeting

Applies to: Clients
Applies to Domino Web Access clients. Use this setting to specify the online meeting server when the Sametime server is accessible only through reverse proxy.
0 (default) - Use Sametime server setting that is specified in the Online Meeting Place resource when the meeting is scheduled
1 - Use the Sametime server setting in Domino Web Access tab of the Configuration Settings document for the online meeting place server
iNotes_WA
_UseSTServerForOnlineMeeting = value
There is no UI equivalent.
InstallType

Applies to: Clients
Applies to workstations. Smart Upgrade can determine whether to install a Notes client only, or all clients—Notes, Designer, and Administrator—for each user. The installer sets the value of the InstallType setting in the notes.ini file each time a Notes client or All client install/upgrade is performed. Smart Upgrade compares the Install Type value in the Smart Upgrade kit document to the InstallType field in the notes.ini file and installs the update kit that matches the Install Type specified in the notes.ini file:

2 - All client install (including Designer and Administrator)
6 - Notes client only

There is no default setting.

InstallType = value There is no UI equivalent.

JavaEnableJIT

Applies to: Servers
Enabled by default. To disable the JIT, specify the JavaEnableJIT variable and set its value to 0. Default setting is 1.

Caution: JITs can be unstable and can lead to unexpected crashes.
JavaEnableJIT = value There is no UI equivalent.
JavaJITName

Applies to: Servers
Enables the specified JIT. You must provide the named JIT or an error is reported by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), although execution continues without the named JIT. Use the JavaJITName setting to load a JIT other than the default JIT (if one is provided). JITs can be unstable and lead to unexpected crashes. There is no default.JavaJITName = name There is no UI equivalent.
JavaMaxHeapSize

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the maximum—not initial—size the Java heap can reach. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) starts out at 16MB of heap space and most of it is uncommitted. If the JVM needs more heap than it currently has, it will expand the heap in increments but will not exceed the maximum. Exceptions such as "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" indicate that a heap has reached its maximum size. You can specify the number of bytes directly or use the suffix "MB" to indicate megabytes, for example, specifying "64MB" is the same as specifying "67108864." The default setting is 64 MB.JavaMaxHeapSize = number of bytes There is no UI equivalent.
JavaMinHeapSize

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the initial size of the Java heap at Java Virtual Machine (JVM) startup. If the JVM needs more heap than it currently has, it will expand the heap in increments but will not exceed the maximum. You can specify the number of bytes directly or use the suffix "MB" to indicate megabytes, for example, specifying "16MB" is the same as specifying "16777216." Default is 16 MB.JavaMinHeapSize = number of bytes There is no UI equivalent.
JavaNoAsyncGC

Applies to: Servers
Prevents the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) from running the garbage collection (GC) mechanism in a separate background thread. Specify 1 as the JavaNoAsyncGC value to debug internal JVM problems. Default setting is 0.JavaNoAsyncGC = value There is no UI equivalent.
JavaNoClassGC

Applies to: Servers
Prevents the garbage collection (GC) mechanism of classes, which protects static fields. Specify 1 as the value to enable the JavaNoClassGC setting. Default setting is 0.JavaNoClassGC = value There is no UI equivalent.
JavaStackSize

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the size of each Java thread's execution stack. You may need to increase the default number of bytes if you need deeply-nested call stacks, but otherwise you should not need to change the default. Default setting is 409600.JavaStackSize = number of bytes There is no UI equivalent.
JavaUserClasses

Applies to: Servers
Allows code-sharing across agents and applets. The value list is a list of directories, JAR files, or ZIP files that are added to the Java Virtual Machine's internal classpath so that classes can be found via the system loader (rather than via attachment to the agent or applet). Note that this doesn't replicate and requires access to the file system on the server. Use a semicolon (;) to separate list items for Win32 and OS/2 systems and use a colon (:) to separate list items for UNIX systems; for example, a valid list for Win32 is: <code>c:\classes; d:\appxyz\stuff.jar</code>. There is no default setting.JavaUserClasses = list There is no UI equivalent.
JavaVerbose

Applies to: Servers
Enables the verbose setting of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which causes the JVM to issue many messages while it runs. Specify 1 as the JavaVerbose value to troubleshoot runtime problems. Default setting is 0.JavaVerbose = value There is no UI equivalent.
JavaVerboseGC

Applies to: Servers
Enables the verbose setting of the garbage collection (GC) mechanism in Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which causes the JVM to issue many messages about memory usage as GC runs. Specify 1 as the JavaVerboseGC value to enable this setting. Default value is 0.JavaVerboseGC = value There is no UI equivalent.
JournalRecipients

Applies to: Servers
Allows for the capture of expanded recipient names .
0 (default) - Disabled
1 - Enabled
JournalRecipients = value There is no UI equivalent.
