Lotus Domino Administrator 7 Help - Lotus documentation

This form is created and configured in the Domino Web Server Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF).
You can customize the form to contain additional information. To do this, the Domino Web server must
be set up.
For more information on setting up the Web server, see the chapter ″Setting Up the Domino Web Server.″
To create and use a custom sign-in form, you must complete these procedures:
v Create the Domino Web Server Configuration database. If you do not create the database, Domino uses
a generic log-in form.
v Create a custom form.
v Specify the custom form as the sign-in form. If the Domino Web Server Configuration database exists
on the Web server but you have not created and specified a custom sign-in form, Domino uses the
form $$LoginUserForm.
To create the Domino Web Server Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF):
1. Open the Notes client and choose File - Database - New.
2. Enter the name of the Web server in the Server field.
3. Select the Domino Web Server Configuration template (DOMCFG5.NTF).
4. Enter a title for the database and name the database DOMCFG.NSF.
Note: The name of the database is not optional, because the Web server has this name incorporated
into its code. The name of the database must be domcfg.nsf.
5. Click OK.
6. Add an entry named Anonymous to the database ACL, and give the entry Reader access.
To create a custom form: The simplest way to create a custom log-in form is to modify a copy of
$$LoginUserForm, the example log-in form provided in the Domino Configuration database. You can also
create a new log-in form. You must have the Domino Designer 7 client to create and edit forms.
1. In the Domino Designer client, open the Domino Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF).
2. Choose View - Design.
3. Do one of the following:
v To create a custom form using $$LoginUserForm, make a copy of $$LoginUserForm, then
double-click the copy to open it. (You can rename the copy if necessary -- for example,
CustomLoginForm.)
v Click New Form to create a new form.
4. When you finish designing the custom form, save and close it.
To specify the custom form as the log-in form:
1. In the Notes client, open the Domino Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF) and open the Sign In
Form Mappings view.
2. Click Add Mapping.
3. Under Site Information, choose one:
v All Web Sites/Entire Server -- to use the custom log-in form for all Web Sites on the server, or for
the entire Web server.
v Specific Web Sites/Virtual Servers -- to map the custom log-in form to specific Web Site documents
or Virtual Servers. If you choose this option, a new field appears, in which you specify the IP
addresses of the Web Site documents or Virtual Servers
4. (Optional) Enter a comment.
5. Enter the file name of the database that contains the custom form. This should be DOMCFG.NSF
unless you store the custom form in a different database.
