8.4 Domino Access
Domino for AS/400 is the implementation of a Lotus Domino server on the
AS/400 platform. Lotus Domino, on any of the supported platforms, can
provide users with a range of server functions.
Some of these server functions are:
• Mail server for Notes, POP3, or IMAP4 clients
• Database server
• Database replication server
•HTTP server
In providing these server functions, Domino supports many protocols. These
protocols include:
• For messaging, Domino supports: Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extension (MIME).
• For Web use, Domino supports: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP),
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), and Network News Transfer
Protocol (NNTP).
To allow Notes clients or Web browsers to connect to a Domino server
running on the AS/400 system, the OS/400 TCP/IP support must be
configured and started. Therefore, TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities product must
be installed on your AS/400 system.
This section describes how the Domino server, on the AS/400 system, can be
assessed by an IBM Network Station user though the NC Navigator browser
or by using the X11 or ICA protocol to access a service running a multi-user
implementation of NT ( such as, Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal
Server Edition and Citrix MetaFrame).
