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.

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

Want to know the Achillies Heel of Domino Security? It’s internet passords and the lack admin control over them
Wed, Apr 10th 2013 10:47a   Darren Duke
I just sat in on the excellent "Securing Domino Web Server" open-mic hosted by IBM. Go watch the replay when it is available, easily worth 60 minutes of your life. This showed how to "harden" a Domino web server and they think handled all the points well, with one exception (and I don't think is the fault of the presenters, but more a serious Domino issue). The user side of the equation. The people with the shitty passwords like "1234" and "password". It is no secret the users and th [read] Keywords: admin connections domino ibm inotes notes policies quickr traveler applications password security server websphere
