Enabling DAOS on the Domino mail template Mon, Jun 10th 2013 8:18a Darren Duke If you enable DAOS on your mail templates then when a new mail file is created DAOS is already enabled. Do this of all of your mail templates in a similar fashion to what I show below for the mail85.ntf template: Open Domino Administrator, go to the Files tab and select "Show me: Templates only": Scroll down to, and right click on the mail template (in this case mail85.ntf) and select properties: In the properties dialog, select "Use Domino Attachment and Object Service" (DAOS).

Setting up IBM HTTP Server to redirect all traffic to HTTPS when fronting Domino (I guess this is part 3???) Thu, May 30th 2013 6:26a Darren Duke I guess this is somewhat of a series now. Hummm..... Previous (now) parts: In (now) part 1, I showed how to install IBM HTTP Server (IHS) with Domino 9 on Windows In (now) part 2, I showed how to use an existing Domino keyfile SSL certificate on IHS I this (now) part 3 I will show hot to redirect all IHS traffic to SSL when using the Domino 9 built-in IHS server. This is most likely how you want iNotes or Traveler servers set up.....so here goes: 0.5) Make sure you already have [read] Keywords: domino ibm inotes traveler server

Exporting Domino SSL keyfiles to another format for use with IHS Tue, May 28th 2013 2:31p Darren Duke In my last post I'd indicated that IBM HTTP Server (IHS) is included with Domino 9 on Windows and that I think this is a pretty good addition (if cop out). Anyway, you most likely already have an SSL certificate on Domino for web mail or Traveler and with IHS in front of Domino you now want to move that SSL certificate to IHS. As you most likely know Domino's SSL key format is a tad esoteric so how does one go about getting that pesky KYR format into the KDB format that IHS likes?

IBM Domino now includes IBM HTTP Server - but how do you find it? Wed, May 15th 2013 11:34a Darren Duke Well, first you probably want to know why IBM added the IBM HTTP Server (IHS) to Domino.....basically to allow Domino to do TLS over HTTP (which native Domino HTTP cannot do....it can do TLS over SMTP but not HTTP), but I think it was also a roundabout "fix" some SSL scaling issues that Domino can have. So how do I get it? Well, it's built into the 9.0 installer for Windows Domino servers (other OSes, you are out of luck....complain via a PMR) but you only see it when you do a custom [read] Keywords: admin connections domino ibm ldd lotus notes traveler bug server smtp

Running Domino on VMware or other "sub-capacity" platform? You know about ILMT right? Thu, May 9th 2013 9:06a Darren Duke This post came out of an email where an IBMer threatened to audit an STS customer because they didn't renew. The customer got a better deal switching to a different license type (thanks to STS) which ended up being a new-net purchase and not a renewal, hence the IBMer was none too pleased. Lisa convinced me not to make this ass-hat IBMer famous in this post. But what I will do is outline what you need to know as a customer who uses sub-capacity licensing within your organization. When you ac [read] Keywords: domino ibm inotes lotus email enterprise server virtualization vmware

ATLUG is May 16th and I will be presenting on IBM Lotus Traveler security Mon, May 6th 2013 12:20p Darren Duke Luckily there is also another present so don't let the fact that I'm presenting keep you away :) Here's the abstracts: We have two presenters for our May meeting. Brad Balassaitis of the PSC Group will present, Presenting Data Effectively with XPages A critical feature of any application is the organization and display of the data. In the Lotus Notes client, data views generally all look the same, but when designing an application for the web, users expect more and XPages [read] Keywords: collaboration domino ibm lotus lotusphere notes notes client traveler xpages application applications bes blogger dojo iphone podcast security server

Update to the Domino cluster post, when to use "SERVER_RESTRICTED" Wed, May 1st 2013 10:34a Darren Duke After the last clustering post, Stop users accidentally connecting to passive Domino cluster servers I've have several people ask when I would use SERVER_RESTRICTED as I'd indicated I would not use that to keep users off my clusters. Well, let's look at this scenario where you are running an active-passive cluster (that is one server handles all user requests-the active; the other handles fail over when the active is down-the passive): Your active server goes boom for whatever reason, h [read] Keywords: domino ibm notes database server virus

Integrating Lotus Notes (or is that IBM Notes) with TAPI so you can call from contacts Mon, Apr 22nd 2013 3:57p Darren Duke While technically this *should* work with any TAPI provider I got it to work with an Avaya IP Office 500 which I see at a ton of SMB's. I like them too, nice pieces of kit. Anyway, thanks to Ulrich Krause's post on SearchDomino with code that can hook into TAPI I finally got around to trying to tie my Contact DB with the IP Phone. Here is how I did it.... Caveats: This is is on Windows 7 x64 Using the vendor provided TAPI driver, in this case Avaya that came with 4.2.46 user software [read] Keywords: agent ibm lotus notes office password properties server

PVU changes with new Intel CPUs - yes, just when you thought you knew Domino PVU calculations..... Thu, Apr 18th 2013 4:09p Darren Duke Not sure when this happened, but IBM has now tiered the PVU requirements, which also affects Domino. This affects Intel CPUs (AMD are still all 50 PVUs per core) Basically this tiered approach requires you to have a higher number of PVUs per core the more sockets you have in a single server. It's basically this: 4 sockets : 120 PVUs per core So just when you thought there was no way on earth you could hate the evil that is PVU, well....you were misguided. This seems to be a high en [read] Keywords: domino ibm server

Stop users accidentally connecting to passive Domino cluster servers Mon, Apr 15th 2013 6:40a Darren Duke In clusters I prefer to split my users between them, but if you don't do that (or can't, because as you have a Domino cluster server at a remote DR site for fail over only) then you can do the following to stop users accidentally connecting to the dormant/passive cluster member: Add SERVER_AVAILABILITY_THRESHOLD=100 to the dormant/passive server notes.ini file. Once you add that you should eventually see the server availability switch to this: Some things to understand here.. [read] Keywords: domino notes server
