I happy to say that I'm going back to BLUG again this year presenting on one of my favorite topics that is widget development for IBM Connections (Easy as Pie - Creating Widgets for IBM Connections). I'm presenting on Friday at 12.30. The overall conference agenda looks very good and I'm looking forward to going back to Antwerp to present, network, learn and talk about OnTime.
The OnTime crew will of course also be available to talk about OnTime Group Calendar and OnTime Meeting Manager and all the various interfaces.
I'll fly in on Wednesday afternoon and will probably be sampling the local brews that night - see you there.

IBM SmartCloud - credit where credit is due
Mon, Jun 10th 2013 3:09a Mikkel Heisterberg On Friday I blogged about the changes that occured on IBM SmartCloud over the weekend (SmartCloud getting an overhaul this weekend with changes that is looooong overdue) and how I was waiting for IBM to add proper Sametime support in SmartCloud meaning Sametime Proxy, Sametime webchat and Sametime app support. As it turns out these capabilities are available just not visible in the dashboard or otherwise readily obvious. So I will give IBM credit for adding it but why didn't I know?!

SmartCloud getting an overhaul this weekend with changes that is looooong overdue
Fri, Jun 7th 2013 12:49a Mikkel Heisterberg This weekend (8-9 June 2013) IBM is releasing their June 2013 Update to the SmartCloud for Social Business. Besides layout changes and notes about the URL used to access the service IBM is finally adding support for the Microsoft Office connectors and the Windows Explorer connector so that, using "click to cloud", users may save, open and edit Office documents and other files directory from SmartCloud. This is of course a big win for users and a byproduct of IBM transitioning the SmartCloud of [read] Keywords: connections

System user in IBM Connections activity stream needs to change
Thu, Jun 6th 2013 1:58a Mikkel Heisterberg The other day I noticed an event in my activity stream for an activity that is about to be auto completed due to inactivity as shown in the screenshot below. There was no profile picture for this user so my first comment as "Hmmmmmm...." as all users posting to the activity stream in Connections must be in Profiles and hence would have a profile picture (in our environment).
actor: {
objectType: "person",
id: "urn:lsid:lconn.ibm.com:profiles.person:SYSTEM",
displayName: "SYSTEM"

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

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
