CONFIGURING

Modifying Web server Internet port and protocol settings

You can change default Internet port and protocol settings for the Web server.

Procedure

1. Open the Server document that you want to edit.

2. Click the Ports -> Internet Ports -> Web tab and make changes to any of the following fields:


    Table 1. Web (HTTP/HTTPS) fields
    FieldAction
    TCP/IP port number Enter a port number. Default is 80.
    TCP/IP port statusChoose one:
    • Enabled -- To configure the server to listen for HTTP requests on the specified TCP/IP port.
    • Disabled -- To prevent the server from listening for HTTP requests on the specified TCP/IP port.
    • Redirect to TLS -- To redirect any HTTP requests that come into the TCP/IP port to the TLS port.
    Enforce server access settingsChoose one:
    • Yes -- To enforce server access settings for this protocol on the server. Server access settings are found on the Security tab of the Server document, and specify the names of authenticated users who have been granted access to this server, and those who have not.
    • No -- To not enforce server access settings for this protocol.
    TLS port numberEnter a port number. Default is 443.
    TLS port statusChoose one:
    • Enabled -- To configure the server to listen for HTTPS requests on the specified TLS port.
    • Disabled -- If you do not want to use TLS for this server.


3. Click the Internet Protocols -> HTTP tab, and change any of these fields:

    Table 2. Basics fields
    FieldAction
    Bind to host nameChoose one:
    • Enabled -- To enter up to 32 IP addresses and/or DNS names in the Host name(s) field to which the Domino® server will bind. This allows users to access a Web server using a name other than the Domino server name.
    • Disabled (default) -- To bind to all IP addresses on the server.
    DNS lookupChoose one:
    • Enabled -- To have Domino look up the DNS name of the requesting client. The Domino log files and database contain host names corresponding to the machine used by the Web client.
    • Disabled (default) -- To not look up the DNS name of the requesting client. The Domino log files and database contain IP addresses.
    • Choosing Disabled improves the performance of the Domino server because the server does not use resources to perform the DNS name lookup.

    Note: The majority of browser users connect to the Internet through Internet server providers (ISPs), so the host names returned by DNS lookup are those of the ISP's proxy servers, not the individual user machines.
    DNS lookup cacheChoose one:
    • Enabled -- To have Domino cache the results of a DNS lookup for faster retrieval.
    • Disabled -- To not have Domino cache DNS lookup results.
    DNS lookup cache sizeSpecify the maximum size of the DNS lookup cache.Default value is 256.
    DNS lookup cache found timeoutSpecify the length of time, in seconds, that IP addresses remain in the cache. Default value is 120 seconds.
    DNS lookup cache not found timeoutSpecify the length of time, in seconds, between failed DNS lookups for a particular item. Default value is 240 seconds.


4. Also on the Internet Protocols -> HTTP tab, make changes to any of these fields:

    Table 3. Network Settings fields
    FieldAction
    Listen Queue SizeSpecify the size of the operating system listen queue for incoming HTTP connections. Default is 512.
    Maximum number of concurrent network sessionsSpecify the maximum number of network connections the HTTP server will handle before refusing incoming connections. Default is 2000.


5. Save and close the document.

6. Enter this command at the console so that the changes take effect:


    tell http restart
