The tables below list IBM® Lotus® iNotes™ notes.ini settings by task as well as provide you with a description of each setting, any equivalent settings, and the versions supported. Note that in the equivalent settings column, unless otherwise noted, a configuration or policy setting overrides a notes.ini setting.
Prior to release 8.5, Lotus iNotes was called Domino Web Access and you may see this terminology used in some of these descriptions or settings. In most cases, however, the current product name is used.

- Maximum Size of Request (Internet Protocols - HTTP tab)
- Maximum Post data (Internet Protocols - Domino Web Engine tab)
If you do not set these two fields, attachments larger than (10MB) will generate a server error. | 7.0.1 7.0.2 7.0.3

| Quickr |
| Enable or disable Lotus Quickr integration in the Lotus iNotes client (if not enabled, Lotus Quickr preferences do not display, and there is no option to save an attachment to a Quickr place). | You can use this setting if you do not want to enable this feature using a policy setting. | iNotes_WA_Quickr = value
Not present - (default) The feature is enabled or disabled via a policy setting
0 - Disabled server wide. Using this setting overrides the policy setting.
1 - Enabled server wide. Using this setting overrides the policy setting. | Mail Policy Setting Doc:
Beginning with 8.5.1, use the setting "Allow Lotus Quickr integration" (Lotus iNotes - Configuration tab) to enable integration with the iNotes client. | 8.5.x |
| Limit the number of Quickr page results | If this setting is not present, the default is 50. | iNotes_WA_Quickr_Feed_Page_Size = number of pages |

| Sametime |
| Adjust the format of the name that is passed to Sametime for login, for awareness checking, and whether to pass RFC821 names | If you set this variable, you override the Configuration Settings document setting "Directory type used by IBM Lotus Sametime server."
| iNotes_WA_SametimeNameFormat = value
The value can contain up to 4 numeric digits in sequence. The default setting is 011.
1st digit (left most)—controls the format of the name passed to Sametime routines that prepare links and start chat sessions:
0 - Use abbreviated canonical format (for example, Joe User/Acme) [the default]
1 - Use full canonical format (for example, CN=Joe User/O=Acme)
2 - Use canonical format but use a comma ( , ) as a separator for the name components (for example, CN=Joe User,O=Acme)
3 - Use only the common name (for example, Joe User)
2nd digit—controls whether RFC821 addresses (for example, Joe User@acme.com) should be sent to Sametime:
0 - No, do not send
1 - Yes, do send [the default]
3rd digit—controls the format of the name passed to Sametime login routines:
0 - Use abbreviated canonical format (for example, Joe User/Acme)
1 - Use full canonical format (for example, CN=Joe User/O=Acme) [the default]
2 - Use canonical format but use a comma ( , ) as a separator for the name components (for example, CN=Joe User,O=Acme)
3 - Use only the common name (for example, Joe User)
4 - Use Non-Domino LDAP Distinguished Name (for example cn=Joe User, cn=Users, o=acme, dc=marketing, dc=acme,dc=com). If not available, use the common name.
4th digit—a debug aide. When the user hovers over a link, the name that displays is identical to the name sent to Sametime. Use any character in the fourth position to enable this. | Configuration Settings Doc:
Beginning with 7.0, use the setting "Directory type used by IBM Lotus Sametime server" in the Domino Web Access / Lotus iNotes tab. | Lotus iNotes clients using mail templates that are 6.0 or later
|
| Elect to not use the current Web page's protocol to access the Instant Messaging server | Set the value to https: or http: if you do not want to use the current Web page's protocol to access the Instant Messaging server. For example, if the current protocol is http and you want to force the use of https: iNotes_WA_SametimeProtocol = https. The default setting is the current Web page protocol. | iNotes_WA_SametimeProtocol = value
Set the value to https: or http:
For example, if the current protocol is http: and you want to force the use of https:, value= https:.
The default setting is the current Web page protocol. |
| Lotus iNotes clients using mail templates that are iNotes6.NTF or later |
| Query the server for the token name | Use this setting when the Lotus iNotes server is used in conjunction with a reverse proxy server (such as Tivoli Access Manager) where LtpaToken authentication is not being used. In such scenarios, Lotus iNotes must query the server for the authentication Token (as it is not available at the client).
| iNotes_WA_SametimeRemoteToken =tokenname
iNotes_WA_SametimeRemoteToken = LtpaToken
iNotes_WA_SametimeRemoteToken = 1 (defaults to tokenname == LtpaToken) |
| 8.0.x |
| Specify the online meeting server when the Sametime server is accessible only through reverse proxy | | iNotes_WA_UseSTServerForOnlineMeeting =value
0 (default) - Use Sametime server setting that is specified in the Online Meeting Place resource when the meeting is scheduled
1 - Use the Sametime server setting in Domino Web Access tab of the Configuration Settings document for the online meeting place server |
| 7.0.2 7.0.3

| Disable Web site rule that returns a maximum Expires value for some static STLinks files | Beginning in 8.0, Lotus iNotes returns a maximum Expires value for some static STLinks files, to more efficiently cache them on the browser.
| iNotes_WA_DisableExpiresForSTLinks = value
0 - (default)
1 - Web site rule to return expires header for files in stlnks directory is not created. |
| 8.0.x

| Security Settings |
| Set the name of an authentication token cookie | By default, authentication is performed using an LTPA token. Use this setting if you are using another method of authentication. | iNotes_WA_AuthTokenName = token name |
| 6.0.6
6.5.5
Added in 7.0 |
| Disable the Active Content Filter | The Active Content Filter removes potentially harmful active content (JavaScript, Java, ActiveX) from HTML in mail messages prior to display in a browser. Active content filtering can reduce server performance because it requires a full parse of HTML content and a rewrite of the content. | iNotes_WA_DisableActCntSecurity = value
0 - (or omitting this setting from the server's notes.ini file; default) enables the filter.
1 - Disables the filter. |
| |
| Specify a URL to redirect users to a Web page after logging out from server | This setting provides normal cache clearing with the Lotus iNotes control, and clearing of browser credentials. It also allows sites that perform additional actions on a logout, such as logging out of a reverse proxy server, to specify a URL to do this additional activity. You can use this variable to return people to an initial login page. | iNotes_WA_LogoutRedirect = URL |
| Added in 8.0. |
Turn on Notes sign and encryption when both S/MIME and Notes sign and encryption are possible
| By default, Lotus iNotes uses S/MIME sign and encryption when both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible. This could cause problems in a mixed environment that includes both Domino 7 and pre-Domino 7 servers. Pre-Domino 7 servers do not support S/MIME, so messages sent S/MIME signed or encrypted could not be verified or decrypted.
This setting is not supported offline. | iNotes_wa_SecMailPreferNotes = value
0 - off (default - When both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible, use S/MIME sign and encryption)
1 - on (When both Notes and S/MIME sign and encryption are possible, use Notes sign/encryption) |
| 7.0.x |
Disable Web site rule that returns a maximum Expires value for some static STLinks files
| In 8.0, Lotus iNotes returns a maximum Expires value for some static STLinks files, to more efficiently cache them on the browser.
| iNotes_WA_DisableExpiresForSTLinks = value
0 - (default)
1 - Web site rule to return expires header for files in stlnks directory is not created. |
