1. Start Domino.
2. To verify that the Domino server HTTP task is functional, from a browser enter the url http://<domino server name:http port>/homepage.nsf (or any other NSF request supported by your Domino Web application). This request should be sent directly to the Domino server, and the Domino HTTP task should respond with the expected page.
3. Start the frontend Web server.
4. To verify that the frontend server is functional and that the plug-in is working, in the browser enter http://<frontend-server:http port>/homepage.nsf. This request should be sent to the frontend server; the WebSphere plug-in should relay it to the Domino server. The resulting page should look identical to Step 2.
