Before you begin

Before beginning this procedure, you should be familiar with the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager configuration tool. On Microsoft™ Windows™ 2000/2003, this tool is accessed through the Microsoft Management Console.

About this task

As stated in Tech Note 1260208, the Web Server plug-ins for the WebSphere Application server no longer ship with the Domino® plugins file kit (the plugin-cfg.xml and iisWASPlugin_http.dll files). To obtain the latest release of these two Web Server plug-in files for the WebSphere Application server, see the IBM software downloads - Trials and demos Web site in the related links.

Procedure

1. Create the following directory structure on the IIS machine (you may use any drive);

C:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin

C:\WebSphere\AppServer\config

C:\WebSphere\AppServer\etc

C:\WebSphere\AppServer\logs

Follow the instructions, according to platform, that display on the Web site.

a. Copy data/domino/plugins/plugin-cfg.xml to c:\WebSphere\AppServer\config.

b. Copy data/domino/plugins/<WAS version>/w32/iisWASPlugin_http.dll to c:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin.

5. Create a new Virtual Directory for the Web site instance you want to work with WebSphere. To do this with a default installation, expand Web Sites in the Internet Information Services navigation until you see Default Web Site. Right-click Default Web Site and select New -> Virtual Directory. This opens the wizard for adding a Virtual Directory.

6. In the Alias field, enter sePlugins.

7. In the Directory field, browse to the WebSphere bin directory (C:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin).

8. For access permissions, check Execute and uncheck all other permissions.

9. Click Finish. A virtual directory titled sePlugins is added to your default Web site.

10. In this step, follow the appropriate procedure for your version of Windows.

On Windows 2000:

a. Right-click the machine name in the navigation tree and select Properties.

b. On the Internet Information Services tab, select WWW Service in the Master Properties drop down box and click Edit.

c. In the WWW Service Master Properties window, click the ISAPI Filters tab.

On Windows 2003:

a. Right-click the individual web site to enable for the plug-in.

b. Click ISAPI Filters.

12. In the Filter Namefield, type iisWASPlugin.

13. In the Executable field, browse to the WebSphere bin directory and select iisWASPlugin_http.dll.

14. Close all open windows by clicking OK.

15. In this step, follow the appropriate procedure for your version of WebSphere.

• For WebSphere 4.0/5.0 plug-ins:

  Open the Windows registry file and create the following key path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> IBM -> WebSphere Application Server -> WAS version. Select this last key and create a new string value Plugin Config. Set the value for this variable to the location of the plugin-cfg.xml file (C:\WebSphere\AppServer\config\plugin-cfg.xml).

• For WebSphere 6.0 and greater plug-ins:

  Create a text file that contains the full path to the plugin-cfg.xml file (including the file name) and save the text file in the C:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin directory as plugin-cfg.loc. For example:

  c:\WebSphere\Appserver\config\plugin-cfg.xml
