Authentication vs. Authorization
Wed, May 8th 2013 7:39a   Mikkel Heisterberg
When ever I talk to customers and partners about single-sign-on (SSO) and the concepts of "authentication" I'm quite often baffled by the level of misunderstanding, misconception and lack of knowledge about just how "authentication" works. Now the reason I put "authentication" is quotes is that when we talk about authentication it's really not just authentication we're talking about. When we talk about confirming the identity of a user and confirming that the user is allowed to access a [read] Keywords: acl domino ibm notes application database password server websphere

Websphere Application Server WIM LDAP adapter log trace
Thu, May 2nd 2013 12:50a   Mikkel Heisterberg
When debugging LDAP login issues for Websphere Application Server (WAS) you're actually debugging the WIM (Websphere Identity Manager) part of WAS. The actual login piece is part of the adapters (database, ldap, file) which is the repository specific piece that WIM delegate the actual authentication to. The best debug string to use is "com.ibm.ws.wim.adapter.ldap.*=finest" as it limits the debugging to the LDAP piece of WIM. [read] Keywords: ibm application database server websphere

Setting up LDAP failover for Websphere Application Server
Wed, May 1st 2013 2:16a   Mikkel Heisterberg
As you may know LDAP is crucial to Websphere Application Server (WAS) when using it for IBM Connections so it makes good sense to configure failover for LDAP. If the LDAP server becomes unavailable you can no longer log in (actually you can't even log into ISC) and WAS can have a hard time reconnecting to the LDAP. Failover is set up using either the ISC Federated Security UI or by editing wimconfig.xml directly (or using wsadmin commands). Using wimconfig.xml have some advantages as you can se [read] Keywords: connections ibm application security server websphere xml

Looking up a datasource from an IBM Connections event handler

For a customer project I'm working on these days I'm writing an event handler for IBM Connections Profiles to integrate two profile systems in real-time using the IBM Connections 4.0 Event SPI. Pretty powerful stuff in case you've never looked into it. In IBM Connections an event handler is basically just a Java bean which you register in events-config.xml to be called when certain events occur such as a profile being updated, the photo set, the photo removed etc. In this event handler I n [read] Keywords: connections ibm ldd lotus application database interface java profile server websphere xml

At a customer site they were actually using the IBM Connections help documents (a first I know) but it didn't work for the users in Internet Explorer.

Java Maps and load factors
Fri, Aug 17th 2012 11:47p   Mikkel Heisterberg
When writing Java code be that for standalone Java, Domino agents or even XPages you often need a data structure to map keys to values. In Java this is a map (java.util.Map) and it works much like a List in LotusScript. Maps are used a lot but since Map is an interface you need an implementation whih is most often a java.util.HashMap. The way to construct a HashMap is using one of the constructors and if you are like me a couple of months ago you just use the default constructor that is the on [read] Keywords: domino ibm lotusscript xpages archive interface java podcast

Reusing IBM Connections Atom date formatting for custom widgets

When installing plugins (that is Eclipse features) into Lotus Notes and you're running a roaming environment you kind of have a problem. The problem is that the only part of the plugins that roam are the plugin settings (i.e. should the Sametime come of front on new IMs) but not the actual code for the plugin. That means that when a user roams to a new machine the plugin isn't installed and hence the user will experience that the plugin will start installing and prompt for a restart.
