 Lotus Domino Connectivity ArchitectureLocate this document in the navigation structure

The Domino server provides Java libraries for the posting and retrieval of information. Servlets running on the Domino server can make use of these Java libraries in order to query the Domino database for information.

Transport

The transport consists of two parts:

  • Java transport that runs on the portal server (LDS-P)
  • Java servlet that runs on the Domino server (LDS-D)
Architecture and Deployment Requirements

The figure below illustrates the architecture and deployment requirements.

Process Flow
  1. The LDS-P component makes an HTTP(S) request to the Domino server. This involves passing user credentials.
  2. The LDS-D component connects to the Domino server and retrieves the data.
  3. The data is returned to the LDS-P as an XML stream.
Enabling Single Sign-On

The LDS-D component needs to authenticate the user in order to fetch the information for the user. The following two modes of authentications are supported:

  • Basic Authentication

    Refer to the Lotus Domino administrator manual for information on configuring the Domino server for this access.

  • SAP Ticket Verifier for Lotus Domino

    This topic is described in detail later on.
