If you want to use SSL for Lotus Quickr (Domino Services) you have to do three four different things:
1. Configure the Domino HTTP task correctly for HTTPS
2. Activate SSL for the Domain catalog server and set the correct port numberi n QPCONFIG.XML:
| <search_places …..”> | |
| <domain_catalog_server ssl=”true”> | |
| <port>443</port> | |
| <domino_server_name>………<domino_server_name> | |
| <hostname>………..</hostname> | |
| </domain_catalog_server> | |
| </search_places> |
3. Activate SSL for cluster
| <cluster> | |
| <master ….. ssl=”true”> | |
| <port>443</port> | |
| <hostname>……….</hostname> | |
| <path_prefix></path_prefix> | |
| </master> | |
| </cluster> |
Important: It is not quite obvious that you have to do step 3 also in a non-clustered environment. But if you do not add this configuration option you end up with connector links which do no longer work. Instead of links like “https://servername.domain/……” you get links like “https://servername.domain:80/……” which will not work because of the wrong port number.
Update:
There is another thing to do:
4. Unregister and register the server again:
On the Domino server console run the following commands:
load qptool unregister -server
load qptool register -server
Otherwise the links in MyPlaces will still point to “http://” instead of “https://”.
