About this task

A typical example of how this feature is used is that of a user performing a domain search from a browser. The user sends the search request to Server A, but some of the search hits are actually located in a database on Server B. When Server A generates the HTML for the search results page, it needs to create URL links to Server B for those hits. To create those links, Server A will look up the Server record for Server B in the Domino Directory, and use the fields in Table 1 to generate the correct syntax for the URLs.

Procedure

1. Open the Server document you want to edit and click Edit Server.

2. Choose Internet Protocols -> Domino Web Engine. Under Generating References to this Server, complete these fields:

Table 1. Fields used to generate syntax to Web server URLs

Field	Action
Does this server use IIS?	(Domino 5.0x servers only) Specify whether this server uses the Microsoft™ IIS stack instead of the native Domino HTTP stack. Note: This setting is used only if the server is Domino 5.0x or earlier; Domino 6 and later servers always generate IIS-compatible links.
Protocol	Indicate the protocol to be used in URL links to this server. Choices are HTTP and HTTPS (for SSL).
Host name	Indicate the fully-qualified host name to be used in URL links to this server; for example, www.renovations.com.
Port number	Indicate the port number to be used in URL links to this server. The default is 80, the standard HTTP port.

If Server A in the earlier example needs to generate a link to a database on Server B, and Server B's Server record has the fields set to the following values:

• Protocol: HTTP
• Host name: www.renovations.com
• Port number: 8081

http:// www.renovations.com:8081/<database replica-id>/....
