DIIOP_IOR_HOST

Today is slow on new topics so I thought I would share a nice (D)IIOP notes.ini related setting for the Domino server. When you run the Domino IIOP server behind a NAT’ed connection you will need to change the IP address that the server publishes through its diiop_ior.txt file. If you don’t clients will try to connect to the un-NAT’ed IP address instead of the NAT’ed one (since that’s the one Domino binds to).

The solution is to set the DIIOP_IOR_HOST notes.ini setting to the NAT’ed address and restart the DIIOP task. This will make the diiop_ior.txt contain the NAT’ed address.

Please note that the setting is called DIIOPIORHOST from Domino 7 and onwards but DIIOP_IOR_HOST is still supported as stated in the notes.ini documentation on developerWorks.

Domino Session Tester updated

The Domino Session Tester mentioned yesterday has been updated so you can test whether the user in question can connect to a particular database. You can also test access a particular document (based on UNID). The download on the original post now points to the new version.

The new command line switches are -s (server), -d (database) and -u (universal id).
