Set-up Instructions Requirements: Lotus Domino server and Lotus Notes client version 6.x, 7.x or 8.x 1. Extract all files from the installation zip file. 2. Copy the database file to your Domino server data directory. To prevent security warning messages you must notify your Lotus Notes Administrator to Sign the database template using the Domino Administrator Client. Note you must sign the database with an ID that has security rights to run agents on that server. 3. A default master configuration is included with the database to enable you to use the application straight away; this configuration uses an FTP server hosted by SLR Software. Additionally you can have different configurations applied to different users / groups as required, refer to advanced configurations for details on this. 4. The ACL of the database should then be set as follows: Default No access Anonymous Author ensure allow Create Documents is checked. All users of the application should have Editor access and have the roles [canupload] and [canview] checked. The Role [canupload] allows users to send files using Rake. The Role [canview] allows users to open and manage files they have already sent. The Role [canrequestfiles] allows users to request that someone sends them files using Rake. The Role [canregister] allows users to register other users to use the Application as a normal Rake user.

When sending Rake messages, the configuration to use is determined as follows: If the user belongs to a group in the Domino Public address book for which there is a corresponding RAKE configuration (or there is a configuration specific to that individual user) then that configuration is used, if not the default configuration is used. As soon as you make configuration changes in the database your users instantly and transparently pick up those changes.
