If you want to run Lotus Notes e-mail on the same machine
on which you are creating Domino elements, and you are using a WebSession
connection, you will encounter a login conflict. To get around the
problem, you must make some modifications to the Lotus Notes environment,
which includes adding EXTPWD to
the notes.ini file.
Thereafter, you must comment out EXTPWD to
start Lotus Notes, enabling you to display the password prompt and
log in; and then expose EXTPWD to
start Domino, enabling you to bypass the password prompt that appears
on the Tomcat console.
Complete the “Running Lotus Notes simultaneously” procedure before you continue.
Running Lotus Notes simultaneously
As a safeguard, back up your %LotusNotesDir%/notes/notes.ini file.
Change %LotusNotesDir%/notes/notes.ini to
include the EXTPWD value
as follows:
EXTMGR_ADDINS=EXTPWD
You can append EXTPWD as
comma separated if there are already values present; for example, EXTMGR_ADDINS=NCExtMgr,EXTPWD.
Copy the nextpwd.dll file to the %LotusNotesDir%/notes/ directory.
Ensure that the PATH variable includes the path to the %LotusNotesDir%/notes/ directory, and precedes the PATH of %DominoServersDir%/Domino.
Once this configuration is in place, use these steps to get Lotus Notes and Domino up and running:
In the notes.ini file, comment out this value:
EXTMGR_ADDINS=EXTPWD
Start Lotus Notes e-mail, log in, and make sure it is running.
In the notes.ini file, remove comments so this value is exposed:
EXTMGR_ADDINS=EXTPWD
Restart Tomcat.
Run Domino.
