Quick Domino Tip: Clear the Password on a Server ID with a Minimum Password Length 
By John Oldenburger | 3/26/19 10:35 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
We are currently transferring our current 32-bit Domino Server to a 64-bit Domino Server. The 64 bit Domino Server will eventually run on a Windows 2016 64 bit OS. With this 'move' we are well prepared for a possible upgrade to Domino 10 in the near future. Since we are going to perform a reinstall or move to a new server we need, among others, the server ID of the current Domino server. In my next blog post I will describe how to move a Domino server to a new server in detail. In this blog post a quick tip regarding clearing the password on a server ID with a minimum password length. I needed this to set up a Domino server to launch without prompting for the password so the server reboots after power failures and crashes. Below the simple steps to clear the password from a server ID.

ID Vault: default certificate expiration is on the way
By Fabio Di Paola | 3/25/19 11:05 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
Starting from version 8.5 of Domino the ID Vault has been introduced, a feature that we know very well. And the release of v8.5 dates back to exactly 10 years ago (January 2009).
This is not a problem: it means that the ID Vault is now a stable and widely used feature, nevertheless it also hides a latent problem.
APNs Certificate used for Traveler 9.0.1.21 Expires
By John Oldenburger | 3/21/19 4:44 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
As mentioned before the APNs certificate implemented in IBM Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21 expires on March 30. Apple Push Notification Service, commonly referred to as Apple Notification Service or APNS, is a platform service created by Apple Inc. that enables third party application developers to send push notifications to iOS users. After March 30 the Push Notifications for Apple iOS devices will no longer work with the current certificate for Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21. The only solution is to upgrade to Notes Traveler 10.0 or 10.0.1 to get the current APNs certificate
Implementing Cluster Replication From Domino to Darwino
By Jesse Gallagher | 3/19/19 10:30 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
Since its inception, Darwino has had two-way replication between it and Domino, and it's evolved over the years in fidelity and configurability. Recently, I was able to check an item off the to-do list that I've wanted for a while: "cluster-style" replication from Domino, where a document change immediately kicks off replication to Darwino.

IBM mail support for MS Outlook (IMSMO) on Domino 10
By Ales Lichtenberg | 3/15/19 4:23 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
IBM mail support for MS Outlook (IMSMO) is a tool that allows MS Outlook users to synchronize mail, calendar with Domino server. This is not a new tool, but with Domino 10 it has undergone some configuration changes, especially on the server side. Important change: The server components required for IMSMO are installed with the Traveler server. Installing the IBM mail server add-on (IMSA) is no longer necessary.

APNs Certificate used for Traveler 9.0.1.21 Expires soon!
By Milan Matejic | 3/14/19 11:48 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
The APNs certificate implemented in IBM Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21,will expire on 30th March and therefore the Push Notifications for Apple iOS devices will not be possible with the "default" certificate. The easiest way to make sure that the Push Notifications functions properly is to update your Traveler Server to 10.0.0.0 or newer release.
Preventing “Build Automatically” Via Policy
By Paul Withers | 3/13/19 10:06 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger
As one of the first steps in XPages training I cover making configuration and settings changes to Domino Designer to optimise your experience. One of those is switching off Build Automatically. Unless your day-to-day ID only has Editor or below access to applications, sooner or later having Build Automatically enabled will cause problems.

Notes Auto Update - Using the AUT Catalog to Upload new Notes Versions
By John Oldenburger | 3/12/19 5:13 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
In my previous blog post Domino 10.0.1. - Notes Auto Update - Introduction and Configuration Document AUT Servers I described how to create a Configuration document for AUT servers. The Configuration document enables the servers for AUT and specifies a server DNS (an AUT server or a round-robin DNS name) that Notes clients connect to check for updates. In this blog I will describe how to use the AUT Catalog to upload new Notes versions.
Panagenda Application Insights - how to deploy

Application Insight is one of Panagenda’s products, one of the tools for analyzing Domino environments. This is not a new product that is closely related to Domino 10 but is certainly capable of helping in deciding on the transition to Domino 10. In addition, customers who have valid IBM support can get this product for free. At this time a license is available until April 2019.

Remove DELEGATED Entries NOTES.INI Mail R9FP9
By John Oldenburger | 3/8/19 12:05 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
n our Domino production environment we have Domino 9.0.1 Feature Pack 9 installed. We also upgraded our mail databases to the Mail template Feature Pack 9 (Mail R9FP9). The problem that arose after the upgrade of the mail databases to the Feature Pack 9 Mail Template was that in the NOTES.INI files a great number of DELEGATED entries were added based on the new feature added in Notes 9.0.1 FP9, Delegated mail files are refreshed automatically.

Up to now there has been no news from HCL or IBM about the future of XPages and the will to invest in XPages in the coming years. The only thing indicated by HCL is that XPages will be supported in Domino V10 and beyond.

Traveler Optimization for Slow Backend Mail Server Connections

In the last couple of month we have been working on performance bottlenecks for customers with higher latency network connections between Traveler and the back-end mail-servers. It took a while until we got all the fixes implemented after very detailed analysis (for example I wrote an extension manager to track object reads).
HCL Factory Tour Episode 2
By Paul Withers | 3/1/19 5:17 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
This week I’ve spent a hugely beneficial amount of time at the HCL Factory Tour Episode 2. As with the previous factory tour, the ability to get quality time with key individuals from HCL and IBM, as well as not only hear but feed back on progress is invaluable. Before going I’d also intended to use the conference to crystalise my focuses for Engage. And obviously it was a great opportunity to have influential discussions regarding OpenNTF and open source, discussions that would normally have happened at IBM Think.
