Controlling access to the Web Administrator files

The Web Administrator files are stored in the subdirectory domino\adm-bin of the Domino data directory. You should protect access to this directory so unauthorized users cannot access the Web Administrator. Domino creates a File Protection document for this subdirectory by default when you start the server for the first time. The File Protection document appears in the Web - Web Server Configurations view on the Configuration tab of the Domino Administrator. The NOTES.INI file variable DominoConfigLevel indicates whether the File Protection document has been created during server startup. It also indicates whether Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents have been upgraded to the Domino Directory. For more information and mapping and redirection, see the release note "Migrating Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents" in the Troubleshooting section.

If DominoConfigLevel is set to

1 -- Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents in the Domino Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF) are upgraded, but the File Protection document for domino\adm-bin is not created yet.
2 -- File Protection document for domino\adm-bin is created, but the Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents in the Domino Configuration database are not upgraded yet.
3 -- Both the File Protection document and upgrade of the Domino Configuration database are done.

Use the DominoConfigLevel setting to troubleshoot problems with controlling access to the Web Administrator files and migrating Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents. Do not modify this setting in the NOTES.INI file.
