CONFIGURING


Generating references to the Web server
You can specify how other servers generate URL references to this Web server. This feature works only for servers that are in the same Domino® domain (share the same Domino Directory).

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:


Results

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:


then Server A will create the URL like this:

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