Special considerations for IBM Notes and Domino

Before installing a crawler that will be used for Domino fingerprinting and discovery:

Steps

  1. Install IBM Notes on the machine that will host the Forcepoint DLP crawler.
    • After IBM Notes is installed, either Forcepoint DLP server or a standalone crawler instance can be installed on the machine.
    • Forcepoint DLP supports IBM Notes versions 8.5.1, 8.5.2 FP4, and 8.5.3.
      Important: The crawler used for Domino fingerprinting and discovery must be on the same machine as Notes.

      Be sure that the installation is done for “Anyone who uses this computer.”

  2. Log on to Notes and supply a user.id file and password.
  3. Connect to the Domino server from the Notes client with the user account that will be used to install the crawler.
    For best practice, do not run Notes on this machine again after the crawler is installed.
