I want to take a Domino server out of service temporarily during business hours. I know that if I set the notes.ini variable server_restricted =1, the affected server will stop accepting new database open requests from Notes users. What I'm wondering is if HTTP users will be similarly blocked. Does anyone know?
No, they won’t. I usually quit HTTP task.
Nope
In this case a simple stuff is to create programs documents to stop and then to start
(n)server (windows (n) or linux without (n))
commande line: -c "tell http quit"
for stopiing and the -c "load http" to start http
The "Server_Restricted" setting only affects NRPC communications. The setting does not affect HTTP, IMAP or POP3 client requests.
If you wanted http request to be blocked temporarily you can either stop the http task (tell http quit) on the Domino server OR you can block the port 80 & 443 on the server machine.
Thank you

Hello @Rob Kirkland The Server_Restricted parameter controls NRPC sessions, so it has no effect on HTTP sessions.
HTTP access is possible regardless of the Server_Restricted setting. If you want to restrict HTTP access, it is effective to stop the HTTP task.
The setting value of Server_Restricted and its effect are as follows:
What does the Server_Restricted NOTES.INI setting provide?

Thanks, @Stefano Benassi, @Jerome Deniau, @Shrikant Jamkhandi, and @Sandeep Pandey for your prompt and helpful replies. I tried to mark all of your answers as "Correct Answer". Unfortunately, the software only lets me mark one answer as correct.
