Notes.ini settings: P
SettingDescriptionExampleComment
Passthru_Hangup
_Delay

Applies to: Servers
Specifies how long in seconds a passthru server maintains a dialup connection after its last dialup session ends. Default setting is 120 seconds.Passthru_Hangup

PercentAvail
SysResources

Applies to: Servers and clients
Determines approximately how much physical memory is available in the server. This parameter was implemented to try to prevent too much virtual memory from being allocated, which can degrade performance by going to/from the disk. Domino makes an operating system (OS) API call to see how much physical memory is being used. Then, depending on the ratio of how much physical memory is being used by the system at that point in time, Domino makes certain decisions as to how much memory can or should be used by various processes. When the API call is made determines how much physical memory Domino will allow to be allocated. Because of this, it will not be 100% accurate at any given time, but it should improve performance if implemented correctly. It is not recommended to set PercentAvailSysResources to an extremely high number, such as 90, as the operating system and any other applications running on the machine will take a portion of the total physical memory. This variable is not supported on z/OS. You must set the NSF buffer pool size explicitly. Default setting is 0.PercentAvail
SysResources = value
There is no UI equivalent.

_Cache_NumPerUser
= number of message statistics
There is no UI equivalent.
POP3NotesPort

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the name of the Notes network port for TCP/IP that you are linking the POP3 service with.

Disables the Process Monitor server task, which ensures that all of the processes that Domino expects to be present are, in fact, running. This server task runs automatically; the administrator must disable it either using this .ini variable or by setting STX9. There is no default setting. Setting this variable to 1 disables the Process Monitor task.Process_Monitor
_Disabled = value
There is no UI equivalent.
ProgramMode

Applies to: Clients
If the user sets up Notes with a Notes mail ID or switches to a Notes mail ID (not a Lotus Notes desktop ID), a value is written to the notes.ini ProgramMode setting, as follows:

Reset_Time_Interval

Applies to: Servers
Value of the maximum time change allowed. The Reset_Time_Interval setting is checked when Domino attempts to reset the internal Domino time to the OS time. If the internal Domino time exceeds the Reset_Time_Interval, the OS time is not reset. For example, if the Reset_Time_Interval=600 (10 minutes), and the internal Domino time is 1:34 P.M., and the OS time is 1:12 P.M., issuing a Set SystemTime command would not readjust the internal Domino time.

Specifies how many days prior to the current day to keep busytime data. A value of 0 means data is never purged. Default setting is 7. Sched_Purge
_Interval = number of days
There is no UI equivalent.
Schedule_Check
_Entries_When
_Validating

Applies to: Servers
Enables or disables whether SchedMgr validates its busytime database entry on a user by user basis, as follows:
0 (default) - Disables validation
1 - Enables validation

Validation should not be required under normal conditions.

0 (default) - Enables validation
1 - Disables validation

Validation should be enabled under normal conditions.

Schedule_No
_Validate = value
There is no UI equivalent.
Schema_Daemon
_Breaktime

Applies to: Servers
Specifies how often (in seconds) the schema daemon spawned by the LDAP service checks if it should shut down because its parent LDAP task is shutting down. In most situations there is no need to change the breaktime interval. In rare situations, you might increase this value as a way to free up CPU resources on a heavily used server. Increasing the breaktime value also increases the time it takes the LDAP service to shut down. There is no default setting, although without this setting, the schema daemon checks the status of its parent LDAP task every 15 seconds.Schema_Daemon
_Breaktime = number of seconds
There is no UI equivalent.
Schema_Daemon
_Idletime

Applies to: Servers
Specifies how long (in minutes) the schema daemon spawned by the LDAP service remains idle after it has completed its tasks. After the schema daemon has been idle for the specified interval, it begins its tasks again. There is no default setting, although without this setting, the schema daemon remains idle for 15 minutes.Schema_Daemon
_Idletime = number of minutes
There is no UI equivalent.
Schema_Daemon
_Reloadtime

Applies to: Servers
Specifies how often (in hours) the schema daemon spawned by the LDAP service adds schema elements for new or changed Domino Directory forms and fields to its in-memory schema. This operation occurs only on the administration server for the Domino Directory and not on other servers in the domain that run the LDAP service. Reloading in-memory schema to reflect new or changed Domino Directory forms and fields is a CPU-intensive operation. You might set different intervals for Schema_Daemon_Reloadtime and Schema_Daemon_Resynctime so the two operations occur at different times. Or you might increase the interval during periods when there are no schema changes. Schema_Daemon_Idletime, rather than Schema_Daemon_Reloadtime, controls how often the schema daemon loads new schema elements defined in the Domino LDAP Schema database into memory. There is no default setting, although without this setting the schema daemon reload interval is 24 hours.Schema_Daemon
_Reloadtime = number of hours
There is no UI equivalent.
Schema_Daemon

This operation occurs only on the Domino Directory administration server, and not other servers in the domain that run the LDAP service. Synchronizing the Schema database with in-memory schema is a CPU-intensive operation. You might set different intervals for Schema_Daemon_Reloadtime and Schema_Daemon_Resynctime so the two operations occur at different times. Or you might increase the interval during periods when there are no schema changes. There is no default setting, although without this setting the schema daemon resync interval is 24 hours.Schema_Daemon
_Resynctime = number of hours
There is no UI equivalent.

1 - Removes the Sign and Encrypt options from all dialog boxes
0 - Restores the Sign and Encrypt options
SecureMail = valueUI equivalent: File - Preferences - User Preferences - Mail - Encrypt sent mail
Server_Availability
_Threshold

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the acceptable level of system resources available to a server. By setting this value for each server in a cluster, you determine how the workload is distributed among cluster members. Valid values are 0 to 100. Domino compares this value against a server's availability index; when the availability index falls below the Server_Availability_Threshold value, the server becomes BUSY. A Server_Availability_Threshold value of zero (0) indicates a fully available state and workload balancing is disabled; a value of 100 indicates the server is BUSY (since the availability index can never be greater than 100) and the Cluster Manager then tries to redirect user requests to more available cluster members. Default value is 0.Server_Availability
_Threshold = 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.
Server_cluster
_auxiliary_ports

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the port through which the server can be reached, in the event of failure of the port specified by Server_Cluster_Default_Port. Specify a comma delimited list in the auxiliary port line and the ports in the list will be checked for the desired server. If the user does not specify a Server_Cluster_Default_Port or server_cluster_auxiliary_ports, all ports will be tried.Server_cluster
_auxiliary_ports = port name
There is no UI equivalent.
Server_Cluster
_Default_Port

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the port used for intracluster network traffic. The value should be a port name--for example, TCP--as specified in the Ports tab of the Server document. There is no default value.Server_Cluster
_Default_Port = port name
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.
Server_Console
_Password

Applies to: Servers
For the encrypted_password to be written to this setting in the notes.ini file, you must use the Set Configuration server command to specify the password. The password can be a combination of letters and numbers. When this setting is added to the notes.ini file, Domino activates the Set Secure command to secure the server console. The password provided should be different from the administrator's user password. If you forget the console password, delete this setting from the notes.ini file, and then re-specify a password. There is no default value.Server_Console
_Password = encrypted password
There is no UI equivalent.
ServerKeyFileName

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the server ID file to use on a machine that runs both the Notes workstation program and the Domino server program. Then, you edit the notes.ini KeyFileName setting to specify your user ID as the ID to use when you run the Notes workstation or API programs on the server machine. There is no default value.ServerKeyFileName = ID_file There is no UI equivalent.

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the maximum number of sessions that can run concurrently on the server. To prevent server overload, decrease this number if you set up multiple Replicators or Routers. There is no default setting.Server_MaxSessions = number of sessions 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.
Server_MaxUsers

Applies to: Servers
Sets the maximum number of users that are allowed to access a server. When this number is reached, the server state becomes MAXUSERS, and the server stops accepting new Database Open requests. There is no default value.
0 - Unlimited access to server by users
number - Restricts number of active users to the number you specify
Server_MaxUsers = number 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.

Forces the server to refuse all replication requests from other servers. When this feature is enabled, to replicate with this server, the requesting server must perform pull-push replication:
0 - Accepts replication requests from other servers
1 - Refuses replication requests from other servers

There is no default setting, although omitting this setting allows the server to accept replication requests.

ServerNoRepl
Requests = value
There is no UI equivalent.
ServerPullReplication

Applies to: Servers
Specifies that all scheduled replication initiated from this server must be pull-push replication. This server will not replicate back to the other servers. This setting affects only scheduled replication.
0 - Scheduled replication occurs normally (push-pull replication is not forced)
1 - This server pulls changes from other servers, but other servers cannot pull changes from this server.

For example, to reduce the workload on a hub server, specify 1 for the ServerPullReplication setting on all spoke servers in a hub-and-spoke system. There is no default value, although omitting this setting allows for normally scheduled replication.

ServerPullReplication = 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.
ServerPushReplication

Applies to: Servers
Specifies that all scheduled replication initiated from this server must be push-pull replication. This server does not request that the other server replicate back. There is no default value, although omitting this setting allows for normally scheduled replication.

Server_Session
_Timeout

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the number of minutes of inactivity after which the server automatically terminates network and mobile connections. The minimum recommended setting is 30-45 minutes. A lower setting may negatively impact server performance. The ideal setting depends on factors such as server load and the number of concurrent users on the server. For mobile connections, XPC has its own internal time-out. If the XPC time-out value is shorter than the Server_Session_Timeout value, the XPC time-out takes precedence. There is no default entry, but in the absence of the setting, Domino terminates a session connection after 240 minutes of inactivity (four hours).Server_Session

Server_TransInfo
_Range

Applies to: Servers
SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE is used to adjust the Availability Index (AI) calculation to match the speed of your server. To adjust the Availability Index calculation for your server using this variable, monitor your system during a period of heavy usage and note the values of Expansion Factor. Use the console command show stat server.expansionfactor Select a value for SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE such that 2 raised to the power SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE is a reasonable upper bound for expansion factor values. For example, if SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE=6, then we expect that the expansion factor values will not rise about 64. Monitor your system during periods of heavy usage to note what value of AI you want to set for your threshold. Select a value which matches the drop in response time at which you want failover to occur. You can also use the console command show ai to display the server's expansion factor and AI histories and suggest an appropriate value for this variable.Server_TransInfo
_Range = value

If either variable is missing from notes.ini, the setup program prompts the user for setup information. There is no default setting.SetupServerAddress = address There is no UI equivalent.
SetupServerName

Applies to: Clients
Identifies the name of the setup server. SetupServerName, together with SetupServerAddress, instructs the Notes setup program to obtain setup information from the specified server. If either variable is missing from notes.ini, the setup program prompts the user for setup information. There is no default setting.SetupServerName = name There is no UI equivalent.
Shutdown_Monitor
_Disabled

Applies to: Servers
When the "quit" or "restart server" command is issued to the server, and the server doesn't terminate in the alloted time, then the server will forcefully terminate and an NSD log will be generated before termination. The time limit is specified in the "Automatic Server Restart" section of the server document in the Basics tab; the default is 5 minutes. This time limit is the time that no shutdown activity occurs; when a process successfully terminates then the timer restarts. This feature can be disabled using the notes.ini setting SHUTDOWN_MONITOR_DISABLED. There is no default setting.Shutdown_Monitor
_Disabled = 1

Recipients = number of addresses
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPMTA_Space
_Repl_Char

Applies to: Clients
Specifies the character the SMTP MTA uses to replace spaces in names. Choices are underline (_) or period (.). The following restrictions apply to using periods as replacement characters: User names in the Domino Directory cannot contain periods. For example, John R. Doe is not valid. You cannot use periods as the domain name separator if you configure Domino domains to appear to the left of the @ sign in mail addresses. If you do, a user name with periods replacing spaces can be confused with domain names separated by periods. The default setting is underline.SMTPMTA_Space
_Repl_Char = character
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPRelayHosts
andDomains

Applies to: Servers
Forces servers to abide by Domino 5 rules to resolve conflicts between Allow and Deny list entries in the SMTP inbound relay controls.
0 (default) - Entries in the Allow field of the SMTP inbound relay controls take precedence over entries in the Deny fields when there is a conflict between them. For example, given the following entries:
Deny messages to be sent to the following external Internet domains xyz.com
Allow messages only from the following Internet hosts to be sent to external Internet domains relay.abc.com
the host relay.abc.com can always relay to any destination, including destinations in the domain xyz.com.
1 - Entries in the Deny fields of the SMTP inbound relay controls take precedence over entries in the Allow fields in the event of a conflict. Using the preceding example, if you deny relays to xyz.com, the host relay.abc.com cannot relay to the denied domain.
SMTPRelayHosts
andDomains = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPSaveImport
Errors

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether mail message import errors are recorded, as follows:
0 (default) - No messages are recorded.
1 - When an arriving message fails to be written as a note in MAIL.BOX, Domino writes the data stream to a temporary directory, and logs the name of the file.
2 - All arriving messages have their data streams written to the temporary directory.

This feature can use a great deal of disk space because the saved messages continue to accumulate until you delete them. Also, the content of the messages is accessible to anyone with the privileges to read files in the temporary directory.

SMTPSaveImport
Errors = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPStrict821
AddressSyntax

1 - Enforces 821 standard
SMTPStrict821Address
Syntax = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPStrict821
LineSyntax

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether the SMTP task requires all protocol text be terminated by CRLF:
0 (default) - 821 standard is not enforced (LF is accepted as a line terminator)
1 - 821 standard is enforced
SMTPStrict821
LineSyntax = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPTimeout
Multiplier

Applies to: Servers
Multiplies the SMTP time-out wait value by the specified number. Each SMTP protocol exchange has a time-out wait value. If the client does not respond within the time-out period, the connection is broken. You can increase the time-out period by specifying a multiplier value. For example, a value of 2 doubles all time-out periods. Default value is 1.SMTPTimeout
Multiplier = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SMTPVerify
AuthenticatedSender

Applies to: Servers
The SMTPVerifyAuthenticatedSender = notes.ini setting designates whether mail that is sent during an authenticated SMTP session must be from the Internet address of the authenticated users. The intent is to verify that the user is not attempting to spoof the "From" field. This feature is most useful when a Domino SMTP server is configured to enforce authentication, but that is not a requirement.
0 (default) - Do not require the sender to use their Internet address.
1- Require the Sender, or From, if Sender header does not exist, to match the Internet address of the authenticated server.
2 - Require the RFC822 From header to match the Internet address of the authenticated user. Sender is not checked, just From is checked.
SMTPVerify
AuthenticatedSender = value
This setting does not affect the Router, nor does it affect messages that are not submitted via SMTP.
The SMTPVerifyAuthenticated
Sender setting does not work when SMTPTranslateAddresses is configured. Mail is rejected if addresses are translated because the match fails.
The features can only be used with single-address entries in the From or Sender field.
SSLCipherSpec

(SSL users only) Determines which SSL-compliant cipher to use to encrypt files on the server. Specification numbers correspond to the following ciphers:

01 - SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5 02 - SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA 03 - SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5 04 - SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 05 - SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA 06 - SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC2_CBC_40_MD5 09 - SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA 0A - SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 0B - SSL_DH_anon_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 0C - SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 0D - SSL_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

To enter multiple ciphers, enter each cipher specification value, including leading zeros. Do not include spaces between values. For example:

SSLCipherSpec = 01020A

There is no default setting.
SSLCipherSpec = value1value2value3... UI equivalent: SSL ciphers field for each Internet protocol in the Ports - Internet Ports of the Server document. The settings in this field are overridden by the SSLCipherSpec notes.ini setting. Specifying a 128-bit cipher for a server with an international license has no effect.
SSL_Resumable
_Sessions

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the number of resumable SSL sessions that will be cached on the server. Setting this variable to 1 disables SSL session resumption on the server. The default number of sessions is 50.SSL_Resumable
_Sessions = number of sessions cached
There is no UI equivalent.
SSL_Trace
_KeyFileRead

Applies to: Servers
Enables viewing of information on the current keyring in use on a Domino server. To enable viewing, set SSL_Trace_KeyFileRead to a value of 1. This enables viewing of protocols other than HTTP to see if there is a valid keyring file present in the server's Server document or Internet site documents from the server console. There is no default setting.SSL_Trace
_KeyFileRead = value
There is no UI equivalent.
SwapPath

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the location of the server's swap file. If this setting exists in the notes.ini file, the Reporter or Collector server task uses this location for the Server.Path.Swap statistic. There is no default setting.SwapPath = location UI equivalent: None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.

TCP/IPportname
_PortMappingNN

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the TCP/IP port number of each partitioned server sharing the IP address of the port mapping server. TCP/IPportname is the name of the TCP/IP port that is specified in the notes.ini file by the settings Ports = TCPIP. This entry is only valid in the notes.ini file of the port mapper server. NN is any number from 00, 01, 02, and so on to 99; only 00 to 04 are currently supported. Numbers must be assigned in ascending order as an invalid break in the number sequence causes subsequent entries in the notes.ini file to be ignored. For example:
  • TCP/IPportname
    _PortMapping00 =
    CN=Server1/O=ACME,
    192.94.222.169:13520
  • TCP/IPportname
    _PortMapping01 =
    CN=Server2/O=ACME,
    192.94.222.169:13521
  • TCP/IPportname
    _PortMapping02 =
    CN=Server3/O=ACME,
    192.94.222.169:13522
The last number is the port number assigned to each partitioned server. This number must be an available number as specified in Assigned Numbers RFC 1340. When setting notes.ini variables for port mapping, do not inclde a zone in a port-mapped address. The zone is only valid locally. There is no default setting.

Temp_Index
_Max_Doc

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the maximum number of results (up to 2147483647) that can be retrieved at one time—by an agent running on a server—on a database without any index. For example, specifying

Temp_Index_Max_Doc = 10000

allows a single NotesDatabase or NotesDocumentCollection "FTSearch" running on a server to return up to 10000 entries. To use the Temp_Index_Max_Doc setting for an agent running on a server, you must also use the FT_Max_Search_Results setting and specify the same value, for example

FT_Max_Search_Results = 10000

Default setting is 5000.
Temp_Index
_Max_Doc = number of entries
There is no UI equivalent.
TimeSeparator

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the character used to separate values for time - for example 12:01. Any characters can be used as separators. There is no default settingTimeSeparator = character There is no UI equivalent.
TimeZone

Applies to: Servers and clients
Specifies the time zone for a server or workstation. Time zones begin at Greenwich, England (0 = Greenwich Mean Time) and move westward around the world. The time zones can be 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes apart (not all zones are an hour apart). For example:

TimeZone=8 (specifies Pacific Standard Time [8])
TimeZone=0 (specifies Greenwich Mean Time [0])

The default setting is defined during the workstation or server setup procedure.
TimeZone = value UI equivalent: On a workstation, the Local time zone field in the Location document; on a server, the Local time zone field in the Server document.
Topology
_WorkInterval

Applies to: Servers
Use this setting to specify how often the Maps server add-in task updates the topology map data in the Domino Directory. Once set, it will refresh n hours after the maps add-in program is started, and every n hours after that. You should not use the setting to refresh too frequently, because the map data is stored in your Domino Directory and updates are replicated throughout the domain. There is no default setting, however the Topology maps task normally refreshes topology information once a day, every night at 2 am.Topology
_WorkInterval = number of hours
There is no UI equivalent.
TransLog_MaxSize

Applies to: Servers
The maximum size, in MB, for the transaction log. A value of at least 192 MB is recommended. If you don't specify a value, the system determines a log size approximately three times the size of the server's RAM. There is no default setting.TransLog_MaxSize = number of megabytes UI equivalent: "Maximum log space" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
TransLog_Path

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the path to the transaction log. The default location is \logdir in the server's data directory - for example c:\data\logdir. However, it is strongly recommended to store the transaction log on a separate mirrored device, such as a RAID level 0 or 1 device with a dedicated controller. If you change this field and have an existing transaction log, you must use the operating system to move all the log files to the new log path.TransLog_Path = path UI equivalent: "Log path" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
TransLog
_Performance

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the trade-off between transactional log runtime and restart recovery time, as follows:
1 - Favor runtime. The system stores more database changes in memory writes fewer changes to the transaction log. Fewer writes to disk improves server runtime.
2 - Standard (default)
3 - Favor restart recovery time. The system stores fewer database changes in memory and writes more changes to the transaction log. More writes to the transaction log improves restart recovery time.
TransLog
_Performance = value
UI equivalent: "Runtime/Restart performance" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
TransLog_Status

Applies to: Servers
Enables transaction logging for all Domino databases on the server, as follows:

TransLog_Status = value UI equivalent: "Transactional logging" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
TransLog_Style

Applies to: Servers
Specifies the type of transaction logging. Options are as follows:
0 (default) - Circular. The system continuously reuses the extent log files, overwriting old transactions.
1 - Archive. The system does not reuse extent log files and allows you to use a backup utility to archive log files. This is recommended.
TransLog_Style = value UI equivalent: "Logging style" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
TransLog_UseAll

Applies to: Servers
Specifies whether or not to use all available disk space on the log device, as follows:
0 (default) - The system uses the default or specified value in "TransLog_MaxSize."
1 - Use all available space on the disk for the transaction log extent. This is recommended if you use a separate device dedicated to storing the extent.
TransLog_UseAll = value UI equivalent: "Use all available space on log device" field in the Transactional Logging tab of the Server document.
