Description

Domino 12 introduced the one-touch setup: by using notes.ini or JSON presets, a new server can be set up fully non-interactively. SETUP_SERVER_FIRSTNAME defines the first name of the first administrator user that the setup program automatically creates in the directory (names.nsf) and in the cert log. Together with SETUP_SERVER_LASTNAME this forms the full display name. The setting is evaluated only once during the initial server setup – later changes have no further effect.

Example configuration

SETUP_SERVER_FIRSTNAME=Domino
SETUP_SERVER_LASTNAME=Admin
SETUP_SERVER_ORGNAME=ExampleOrg

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only effective during the first server setup; on already configured servers the entry has no effect.
  • Avoid special characters – the certificate name must be RFC-compliant.
  • For automated deployments, the JSON one-touch file is preferable to individual notes.ini entries.
  • Complementary to SETUP_SERVER_LASTNAME, SETUP_SERVER_ORGNAME, SETUP_SERVER_TYPE.
