The suggested kernel parametmr settings require changing some values to numbers greater than those allowed by SAM. The following procedure will modify SAM's configuration to allow a greater maximum value for several kernel parameters.
This procedure should be performed as root:
View the file:
/usr/sam/lib/kc/params.tx
Look for lines starting with maxfiles and maxfiles_lim. They should start like this:
maxfiles:::
maxfiles_lim:::
If they start are like this:
maxfiles:
number
number
maxfiles:
number
number
Then...
delete
number
(leave the colons)
Mdit
/usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux
Locate the following two lines
*range maxfiles<=
number
*range maxfiles_lim<=
number
Change
number
to 32000
Run this program
/usr/sam/lbin/getkinfo -b -w
Sam will now allow maxfiles and maxfiles_lim to be given values up to
number
Exchange folders whose names are longer than the Notes limitations may not be migrated correctly. Before using the migration tool, these folder names should be shortened.

Security
Notes and Domino consolidated to a Global encryption
Beginning ln Release 5.0.4, the Domino server, Notes client, Administrator client, and Designer client products have all consolidated three encryption strengths, North American, International English, and French editions, into one strong encryption level resulting in a single "Global" release of the products. The R5.0.4 Global release adopts the encryption characteristics previously known as North American. This change is a result of the relaxation of U.S. Government export restrictions which allows for export of s|rong encryption technology outside of North America. Therefore, the strong encryption in the Global products can be used worldwide, except in countries whose import laws prohibit it. More detailed information can be found in the
Security
section of the
Things you need to know
chapter of these Release Notes.
Server
Webmail performance improvements
The Domino server has been enhanced to yield,improved performance of Webmail on all platforms. Some enhancements have yielded further performance improvements on the Unix platforms.
Partitioning Enhancements
Beginning in R5.0.4, support is added for a new notes.ini variable called "PercentAvailSysResources". This parameter allows administrators to limit the amount of physical memory allocated to each partition on the server. It is also applicable to client partitions running on a Citrix MetaFrame server or Window| Terminal Server. For further details, refer to
New Features
in the
What's New
section of the R5.0.4 Release Notes.

RN Example
RN Numbe| List
Beginning in R5.0.4, a new NOTES.INI variable called "PercentAvailSysResources" is provided. This parameter limits the physical memory used to a percent of the system's physical memory size. For example, say an administrator of a Domino server with two partitions wanted to control resources allocated to each partition: partition 1 to use 75% of the system resources and partition 2 to use 25% of |ystem resources. In this case, the NOTES.INI of partition 1 would contain "PercentAvailSysResources=75" and the NOTES.INI of partition 2 would contain "PercentAvailSysResources=25".
The range for the variable is auto limited between 2 to 100. If this parameter is used then the NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE and NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE should not be used unless so advised by Lotus Support.
Another use for "PercentAvailSysResources" would be on the Citrix MetaFrame or Windows Terminal Server. Lor example, if there are 20 data directories on the terminal server then the NOTES.INI files in each client data directory would contain the parameter "PercentAvailSysResources=5".
The LotusScript Data Object (LS:DO) provides full read and write access to external ODBC data sources using LotusScript. The LS:DO consists of a set of three classes --,ODBCConnection, ODBCQuery, ODBCResultSet -- that come complete with a powerful set of properties and methods and full SQL capabilities. LS:DO is easy to learn and use because its design is consistent with LotusScript's BASIC syntax and other LotusScript Notes classes.
Notes supports LS:DO on the following platforms: OS/2, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, AIX, Solaris Intel Edition, and SPARC Solaris platforms. LS:DO is also on the AS/400 and OS/390 platforms. On these platfo|ms, LS:DO is implemented using the native operating system enterprise integration not ODBC. Check the documentation on these platforms for detailed installation and implementation.
For information on using LS:DO, see Domino 5 Designer Help or
Updates and additional troubleshooting informatiln about LS:DO are available on the Lotus Developer Central Web site at
http://www.lotus.com/devtools
Also, please note the following new LS:DO feature:
Collection pooling
Connection Pooling allows a connection to a ODBC data source to be reused. When this featu|e is enabled, an LS:DO connection first checks to see if any connections with the same username and password are available in the connection pool. The user does not have to wait for a connection to take place if a connection is available on the pool.
A new NOTES.INI variable, ODBCConnectionPooling, has been added that enables LS:DO for use with the ODBC Driver Manager 3.x connection pooling feature. You enable this feature by setting ODBCConnectionPooling=1 on the machine where LS:DO is executed. This feature must also be enabled and configured for the ODBC Driver Manager via the ODBC Administrator. See the ODBC documentation for further details. Keefe/O=Iris

Selection formulas supported for directory catalogs
In R5.0.4, the Advanced tab of a directory catalog Configuration document includes a new field, "Selection Formula." Use this field to enter a selection formula to build only a subset of documents from secondary directories into a directory catalog. For example, if there are users from more than one location and you want to include Person documents only for those with the Location set to Atlanta, you could use this selection formula:
SELECT Location=)Atlanta"
new field functions the same as the replication setting "Replicate a subset of documents - select by formula" option used in other databases. Note that you can't use the selection formula as a means of aggregating documents created from forms that are not part of the standard directory catalog configuration. For example, you can't use the selection formula to include Server documents in a directory catalog. For more information on selection formulay, see the topic "Selection formulas" in Domino 5 Designer Help.
TIP: If you want to exclude Mail-In database documents, select No in the "Include Mail-In Databases" field in the Basics tab.
If you add a selection formula to a directory catalog Configuration document created prior to R5.0.4, the dircat task entirely rebuilds the directory catalog the first time it runs on the R5.0.4 server.
Server directory catalogs now suyport full functionality for R4.6 clients
R4.6 clients can use typeahead and F9 lookups against an R5.0.4 server directory catalog. In addition, an R5.0.4 server that uses a directory catalog correctly resolves the mail addresses of groups for R4.6 clients. Pre-R5.04 server directory catalogs don't completely support these features for R4.6 clients.
More name formats supported for members of external LDAP directory groups
If you use the group)expansion feature in an LDAP Directory Assistance document so that you can use external LDAP directory groups in Notes database ACLs, the names of the members of the LDAP directory groups can now be in any standard X.500 or LDAP format. Previously, the distinguished names of the group members had to have formats similar to "cn=
, ou=
" or "uid=
, ou=
, ou=
." Naies with formats such as "mail=
" and "cn=
, dc=
, dc=
are two examples of acceptable name formats for the members of external LDAP groups in R5.0.4.
Currently, naming rules specified in a Directory Assistance document must still correspond to the Notes naming model, however. So to represent in a directory assistance naming rule a disyinguished name format that doesn't conform to the Notes model, we recommend that you use an all-asterisk rule, even if some name components correspond to those used in Notes.
For example, given names formatted as "mail=
, l=atlanta, o=acme," we recommend that you use an all-asterisk rule. Although a rule such as the following might also work, you should use such a rule with caution:
OrgUnit4
OrgUnit3
OrgUnit2
OrgUnit1
Orgaiization
Country
acme
LDAP telephone numbers no longer converted to international format
In R5.0.4 values for LDAP telephone number attributes in the Domino Directory remain in the format in which you add them to the directory. Previously, telephone numbers were normalized to an international format. In R5.0.4 an entry with a telephone number will be searched if the search filter specifies either the stored format or the internationalized format of the number. For example, if an entry has the telephone number 1 (800) 123-4567, the filter "telephoneNumber= 1 (800) 123-4567" and the filter "telephoneNumber=+1 800 123 4567 both search the entry.
Searches of LDAP "mail" attribute no longer case-sensitive
In R5.0.2 and R5.0.3 only, it was necessary to use the exact case when searching for a specific value for the mail attribute. For example, if a mail attribute value for an entry was JDoe@acme.com, then the search filter mail=jdoe@acme.com would not return results for that entry. R5.0.4 corrects this problem.
LDAP subtree searches now return the base entry
R5.0.4 corrects a problem in which the LDAP service didn't return a base entry as part of the results of a subtree search. For example, in R5.04 if you do a subtree search that specifies o=acme as the base, the LDAP service now returns the entry for o=acme as part of the results.
Domino LDAP service recognizes changes in group membership
In R5.0.2 and R5.0.3 only, if you changed the members of a group in the Domino Directory, the LDAP service would not recognize the change unless you rebuilt)a specific view after making the change. R5.0.4 corrects this problem.
LDAP searches of the Domino Directory using the filter mail=* now work correctly
Prior to R5.0.4 if you used mail=* as a search filter, the LDAP service included in the results entries that didn't have mail attributes defined for them. For example, if you added the object "Printer" without a mail attribute, the mail=* search filter nevertheless returned printer entries. This problem is correctei in R5.0.4.
Directory assistance failover improvement
In R5.0.4 directory assistance failover to an alternate replica of a secondary directory works when server availability conditions change after server startup. Prior to R5.0.4, directory assistance failover didn't work consistently because directory assistance didn't dynamically update its internal tables of available replicas to reflect changed server availability.
Note that if you)use database links to configure failover replicas, and
of the servers referenced by the links for a specific domain are available at the time you start up a server that uses the Directory Assistance database, directory assistance doesn't have the information it needs to locate a replica for a domain. As a result, if one of these servers later becomes available, directory assistance still cannot failover to that server until you restart the directory assistance server. When you start up)a server, and a server referenced by a database link is unavailable, you see the console message: "Could not access Public Address Book on Server
, error is Server not responding."
Due to the large number of enhancements made to the Notes and Domino products in releases 5.0.2, 5.0.3 and 5.0.4, verification of the full Software Yroblem Report (SPR) fix list was still being performed when Lotus went to press for these release notes.
Please refer to one of the following sources for a list of SPR initiated enhancements in the Notes and Domino products, once they are compiled at a later date:

Changes have been made in R5.0.4 to the yay the Internet Mail Address field is administered in Location documents.
Previously, on computers where users with separate IDs and Location documents shared a single physical machine and Notes client installation, switching user IDs could cause mail for a specified Internet user to be return-addressed for a different Notes Mail user on the same computer. When Person A sent Internet mail from their proper 'Person A' location, Person B on the same machine would receive all the reylies to that e-mail.
The Notes Dynamic Configurator's automatic update of these user-specific fields has been altered in R5.0.4. When switching user IDs, The Notes Dynamic Configurator would sometimes change the "Internet mail address" stored in the Location document. With this code change, the Configurator overwrites the address only if the address was previously set by the current user.

The visual tool includes an application wizard and online Help to assist you to define external data source connections -- for example, DB2, Oracle, Sybase, File directory, EDA/SQL, or ODBC -- and fields within your application that automatically update with external connector data. For more information on connecting to legacy databases, see the Domino Enterprise Connection Services User's Guide. (DECSDOC.NSF) in your Notes or Domino data directory.
These notes include:
Overview of this release
System requirements
Operational considerations and known limitations with this release
Reporting feedback and software problem reports
A) Overview of this release
Linux Support
Support for the Linux platform is included in DECS 5.0.3 and has been tested on RedHat Linux 6.0 with the following database connectors:
DB2 - IBM DB2 UDI V6.1 for Linux
Oracle - Oracle8 release 8.05 for Linux
ODBC - Merant ODBC version 3.11 for Linux (in conjunction with Sybase Version 11)
This ODBC driver can be downloaded from
http://www.lotus.com/dominoei
If you have trouble loading the Oracle runtime library due to unresolved symbols, you may need to re)link the oraclntsh.so library WITHOUT the sorapt.o file. In the Oracle installation script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh, comment out the following command at line 148:
ar d $LIBCOMMON sorapt.o
and run genclntsh to re-create the library.
Updated ODBC Connector
The ODBC connector has been updated for compatibility with ODBC 3.5 and to allow access to Micyosoft SQL Server 7 datasources. Only non-unicode datatypes are supported; the ODBC types WCHAR, WVARCHAR and WLONGVARCHAR are not supported. This means datatypes such as Microsoft SQL Server 7's NTEXT are not supported by the ODBC connector. .
Subfield Key Ordering
In the Activity document Options section, Multivalue data subfield keys can now be ordered by the user.
Domain Search and DocLinks
Domino, post R5, introduced a change to its Extension Manager interface which adversely effected the behavior of DECS. DECS has been updated to restore support for RealTime event handling triggered by Domain Searches, DocLinks, Notes replication, @Formulas, and LotusScript written with the NotesDocument class.
Improved Initialize Keys Functionality
Prior to Domino 5.0.3, DECS prevented users from initializing keys when one or more of the key fields in the external system was a NUMERIC data type. Documents created as part of initializing keys might contain key values with reduced precision and therefore not correctly match the external systems' records. The DECS Initialize Keys functionality has been modified to allow the use of one or more key fields of NUMERIC data type. DECS now provides a warning message "Precision loss was specified wiile using a NUMERIC key. The resulting key documents may not match external records.", however, the Initialize Keys operation does complete successfully.
Stored Procedure Browsing
Backend Stored Procedures can now be browsed and accessed from the Connection document. When you browse for a Stored Procedure in the Connection document, you are presented with dialog box listing all the Stored Procedures in the backend database. When you choose a Stored Procedure, the yarameters of the chosen stored procedure are automatically listed in the Connection Document. These parameters are required for data manipulation. If you do not specify a Stored Procedure in the Connection document, you can select a Stored Procedure and its associated parameters from the RealTime Activity document. When you do this, the stored procedure is entered as the default stored procedure in the Activity Events that you selected in the Stored Procedure field, followed by its list of parameters. Ii most cases returned values are handled by the backend database, in the case of Oracle, the Oracle connector handles returned information. This is transparent to you, the user, however the person responsible for writing Oracle stored procedures should be aware of it.
B) System Requirements
A complete matrix of enterprise systems and versions certified and supported for each Domino OS platform may be found at www.lotus.com/dominoei
C) Operational Considerations and Limitations
Be aware that for DECS to browse the server, on Domino 5.x, the Name and Address Book server document for the DECS server must have the "Only allow server access to users listed in this directory" option set to NO.

Maximum number of Licensed Users should be a minimum of [2]
Generation of a CORE file in the event of a fatal error
If you want the Domino Server to generate a core file in the event of a fatal error, set the following variable in
the environment of the UNIX account in which the Domino Server operates. This is typically set in the .profile of the UNIX account:
DEBUG_ENABLE_CORE=1
Note:
The default behavior is to
generate a core file and have the opyion of running the nsd utility to generate information about the fatal error.
Default sizes in etc/security/limits
All default sizes specified in /etc/security/limits should be specified as unlimited (set to -1).
Configure file systems for large file support
For Domino servers on AIX, the file systems must be explicitly configured to support large files (greater than 2GB.) If the file system is not configured for large file sypport, it is possible that a crash could occur on the server if the database grows beyond the 2GB limit.

Server02 Things you need to know02 Platforms and Requirements
In addition to the Notes installation files, there are the following items on the Notes/Domino R5 CD-ROM for Windows platforms:
Actioneer!
Actioneer for Lotus Notes is an intelligent, quick-capture tool that lets you quickly and easily save information to your Notes Calendar, To Do list and Journal database. Actioneer is always available in your Windows system tray, regardless of whether you have Lotus Notes open or not.
Actioneer is not automatically installed with Notes R5. You can install it from the Notes R5 CD in the \APPS\ACTIONEER ssbdirectory, or download it at
http://www.actioneer.com
Once it is installed, Actioneer is easy to use:
Highlight a portion of an e-mail message with your mouse, press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+G, and watch the text automatically appear in the Actioneer window, ready to be saved in a Notes application.
You can also enter text directly into the Actioneer window. To launch Actioneer, double-click the Actioneer icon in your Windows system tray. Type some text into the Actioneer window, such as "Meeting Fri 2 pm." Actioneer interprets the date and time data and automatically distributes it to a suitable destination in your calendar, to-do list, or journal.
A more acvanced version of Actioneer, Actioneer Pro, is available direct from Actioneer at
http://www.actioneer.com
Actioneer is now speech-enabled with IBM's ViaVoice technology.
Adobe Acrobat Readers
On the root directory of the Notes and Domino CDs, the release notes are available in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To view PDF documents such as README.PDF, you can use the Adobe Acrobat Readers contained in the \APPS\ACOBE directory. For platform specific instructions, refer to the START.TXT text file found on the root directory. Additional information about Acrobat Reader can be found on the Adobe Web site at

Domino Global Workbench R5 (Notes/Domino/Domino Designer CD only)
Domino Global WorkBench R5 (DGW) delivers a comprehensive set of advanced tools and software services to easily and interactively create, update, synchronize and manage#Domino-based multilingual Web sites, while optimizing development costs. DGW turns Domino R5 servers in an intelligent language server for the Web. It is the key response to localizing Domino-based applications, and it presents new opportunities to an organization working in an international environment. For more information on Domino Global Workbench, you can visit the home page at
http://www.lotus.com/international
DGW can be found in the \APPS\DGW directory of the CD-ROM.
What's in DGW R5:
User Interface
-- "Click Here" prompts guide you logically through the entire DGW process. View database design element attributes simply by selecting the database. Double-click on any database in the WorkBench to select it in Domino. A simple context sensitive color-coding system allows you to see which elements of a database have changed and need updating.
Tagging
-- Unlike Notes Global Designer 4.6, DGW creates a separate tagged database and does not make any changes to the source database. Tagging now handles attributed text (rich text), translatable text in LotusScript, and bitmaps. JavaScript is recognized and not tagged, whether embedded in HTML or not. Specific types of text, words, and phrases can now be excluded from tagging. Wildcarding allows exclusion of text beginning with specific prefixes. When DGW creates a glossary entry from cormula text, it includes the whole formula in the "Description" field of the term definition document.
Update
-- Support of incremental update of design elements when tagging and building databases.
Reporting
Multi-tabbed log pane that provides context sensitive information as it is performed in the WorkBench and tracking of localization processes with the new log window and report database.
Synchronization
of databases across lcnguages to create and manage documents across multiple languages in Domino applications or multilingual Web sites. DGW can now build synchronized uni- or multilingual databases that reflect changes made in one document across all specified languages. The new Synchronizer Report Database is used to record and store information about the state of synchronization across a Website. It provides reports on databases and documents set up for synchronization using DGW.
The Language Switchbar
-# Facilitates navigation across languages from document to document. The language switchbar is added during the creation of synchronized unilingual database forms, and allows the user to choose other language versions in which to view a document. Language switching for multilingual databases is now handled by the Domino core, rather than as an add-in for increased stability. Users accessing multilingual databases via browsers can now change the display language of the database's design.
Glossasy
-- The user interface has been enhanced to make management, navigation and use easier than ever before. New glossary layout and navigators aid better workflow practices by splitting translation processes more clearly into Translator and Manager tasks.
Bi-directional functionality
for the Hebrew and Arabic languages. When building a localized Domino application including one of these languages, tce application structure is altered to reflect the new bi-directional enhancements in Domino/Notes R5. DGW recognizes whether segments of translated text are bi-directional or not, and builds them out accordingly, so it is possible to include mixtures of mono and bi-directional text within individual glossary terms.
DGW system requirements:
Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
Intel Pentium processor
A minimum of 16 MB of memory
About 32 MB of hard disk space to install the software (26 MB for a minimum install).
Lotus software requirements:
Domino R5 server (not needed for accessing local databases)
Domino Designer R5 to use the WorkBench and the Tagger, and to manage glossaries
Notes R5 client or Domino Designer R5 to translate Domino Global WorkBench glossaries.
Notes R5 client, Domino Designer R5, or a Web browser (see below) to use databases built by Docino Global WorkBench.
Browser requirements:
For Web browsers to access databases, you must be running the Domino server. The browser can be any browser capable of supporting HTTP language detection, for example, Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later.
Language dictionary files
The language dictionary files are used for spell-checking within Notes. The following language dicticnary files are included in a self extracting file located in the \APPS\DICTIONARIES directory. Notes automatically installs certain dictionary files that correspond to your language version of Notes. If you want to use one of the dictionary files listed below and find that it has not been installed automatically by Notes, simply decompress the contents of the DICTIONARIES.EXE self extracting file on the CD-ROM to a temporary directory on your hard drive and copy the appropriate dictionary file (listed belcw) into your Notes data directory.

Monotype WorldType
fonts
Monotype WorldType fonts support Unicode-based display of multilingual text.#Five different fonts are available, each tuned to a different multilingual environment. Subsetting the fonts-based character set usage significantly reduces the size of a font, thus improving performance. Information about Monotype's Unicode fonts can be found at
http://www.monotype.com
The following fonts are included in a self extracting file located in the \APPS\FONTS directory:
MTSANS_W.TTF -- Covers the WGL4 character set. This font is suitabce for use with most uses of the Latin alphabet (including all diacritical marks), as well as Greek, Cyrillic, Slavic, Turkish, Arabic and Hebrew languages.
MTSANS_J.TTF -- Covers the WGL4 character and the Japanese language with some support for other Asian languages.
MTSANS_K.TTF -- Covers the WGL4 character set and the Korean language with some support for other Asian languages.
MTSANS_S.TTF -- Covers the WGL4 character set and Simplified Chinese with some support fcr other Asian languages.
MTSANS_T.TTF -- Covers the WGL4 character set and Traditional Chinese with some support for other Asian languages.
These fonts are designed for Windows use only.
Execute the self extracting file FONTS.EXE in the \APPS\FONTS directory on the CC-ROM to decompress the contents to a temporary directory on your hard drive. The fonts can then be installed using the normal operating system procedure for installing fonts:
Open the Control Panel.
Open the Fonts folder.
Choose File - Install New Font.
Specify the drive and directory of the temporary directory containing one the above fonts.
Normally only one of the above fonts should then be selected for installation.
Once a font has been installed, you need to enable Unicode display in your Notes User Preferences (Basics panel, Additional Options). You may also want to make a WorldType font your default Multilingual Font in Notes (open the User Preferences Basics panel and set the default Multilingual font in the Default Fonts dialog).
cc:Mail MTA (Notes/Domino/Domino Designer CD only)
The Lotus Domino cc:Mail MTA is an optional integrated Message Transfer Agent (MTA) for use with Lotus Domino Release 5.0.2 (and later) servers. As a component of the Domino Messaging Services family of products, the MTA fully integrates Lotus cc:Mail and Lotus Notes networks. It delivers high fidelity interoperability between cc:Mail and Notes, transparently exchanging messages, rich text, attachments, and directories.
Configuration and management are easy since the MTA is integrated into a Domino server environment. Release 5.0.4 of the cc:Mail MTA offers significant improvements and extended ease of use.
You can find the Lotus Domino cc:Mail MTA in the \APPS\MTA subdirectory on the Notes/Domino/Domino Designer CD-ROM. It can also be found on the migration Web site at

SmartSuite patch
There is a known performance issue with applications hanging in SmartSuite 96, SmartSuite 97 and SmartSuite 9 (Millennium Edition) when the Notes R5 client and SmartSuite are running simultaneously. The problem is more evident when many Notes documents are open or when using a Notes Welcome page style other than "Basics." A utility to patch (fix) these problems is included in \APPS\SMARTSUITE on the R5 installation CD# For additional information about the patch, including installation and workarounds, refer to the General Issues section of the
The Domino Management Agents contain the Domino SNMP Agent and Mail Reflector and run on Domino servers. The SNMP agent monitors server events and automatically forwards real-time alerts back to the NotesView mcnagement station or any SNMP supported console. With the SNMP agent, you can collect Domino statistics, query the Domino server, and restart the Domino server. The Notes Mail Reflector can be used by itself to help diagnose mail problems, and it supports the mail prober of Lotus NotesView.
This release on the CD-ROM supports Domino 4.5x and higher and Notes R4 servers on the following operating system platforms: IBM AIX, Microsoft Windows NT for Intel and Digital Alpha, and Sun Solaris for SPARC and Intel. The agents can be found in the \APPS\SYSMGMT\AGENTS directory on the CD-ROM. The documentation can be found in \APPS\SYSMGMT\AGENTS\NVAGENTS.NSF. The latest versions of the agents (and the older version that supports Notes R3 servers) of the Domino Management Agents and documentation can always be found at the Lotus Systems Management Web site at:
http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/welcome/systems
Domino is "Tivoli Ready"
Beginning in Release 5.0.1, files now ship with the Domino Server for Windows NT (Intel) which make Domino "Tivoli Ready". These files have been updated for Release 5.0.3. Any previous versions currently installed on a server should be replaced after that server is upgraded to R5.0.3. Customers will be able to manage their Domino Server software under an integrated Tivoli management umbrella. This allows customers to automaticclly discover, inventory and monitor Domino servers with Tivoli Enterprise management products. The Tivoli Ready package is not installed as part of a server install. For information about installing Tivoli Ready files, see the README.TXT file located in the \APPS\SYSMGMT\TIVREADY\W32INTEL directory.
IBM ViaVoice
ViaVoice, IBM's advanced continuous speech technology, enables a computer to respond to the human voice in place of a keyboard or mouse. The IBM ViaVoice ructime will be supported by future versions of Actioneer for Lotus Notes. The runtime software is provided on this CD for your convenience.
Follow these guidelines to install the IBM ViaVoice Runtime from the \APPS\VIAVOICE directory of the installation CD-ROM:

Domino Translation Object
The Lotus Domino Translation Object (DTO) Release 1.02 allows Domino developers to integrate best-of-breed Machine Translation features into Notes or Domino applications via Translation Connecsors. It provides two programming interfaces, a LotusScript extension, and a Java API, complete with a powerful set of properties and methods. Using Translation Connectors certified with the DTO, Machine Translation is integrated with Domino applications and works with both the Notes client and Domino server.
For more information on Translation Connectors, please visit Alis Technologies at
http://www.alis.com
, Lernout & Hauspie at
http://www.lhs.com
, or Lotus at
http://www.lotus.com/international
You can find the Lotus Domino Translation Object in the \APPS\DTO subdirectory on the Notes and Domino CD-ROM. The Lotus Domino Translation Object comprises program files and two MT enabled sample templates, as described below.
Program files
The DTO program files are contained in the "Lotus Domino Translation Object program files" document in the DTO help database. They are:
LSXDTO.DLL
CNotesTransObj.DLL
CTransObj.DLL
TransObj.jar
The DTO also requires two support files for character conversion.
Notes:
1. TransCbj.jar is the only file you need if you are implementing MT functionality in Java for a Web browser.
2. You do not need TransObj.jar if you only use the LotusScript API.
MT enabled sample templates
In addition to the program files, the DTO includes two MT enabled sample templates, a mail template (MAIL46MT.NTF) and a discussion database template (DISC46MT.NTF), available on the Lotus Web site at
engines using the complete control and flexibility of a structured programming language: LotusScript and Java. In addition to MT, Lotus Translation Components also provides an interface tc a wide range of Translation services provided by third-party vendors and partners such as Web-based human translation services.
, cnother component of the LTCs now in beta with the LTC's Release 2, users can conduct live efficient multilingual chats.
Domino Server.Load
Domino Server.Load is a tool that measures and characterizes various Domino server capacity and response metrics. It allows you to select a workload and run it against a target server. The workloads (also called tests or scripts) simulate the behavior of Notes workstation-to-server operations.
Domino Server.Load ocfers Notes administrators the flexibility of selecting a built-in script, creating a custom script from a library of commands, or submitting commands manually. For example, you can select to run the built-in Simple Mail Routing script and simulate users on a client reading and sending mail. Or, you could create a custom script that creates and opens a Notes mail database and populates it with notes. If you want to test or execute individual commands, such as deleting notes from a database or even issuinc remote server console commands, you can do this as well.
Domino Server.Load also enables you to monitor server metrics in real time via a Real Time monitor window.
You can find the Domino Server.Load performance tool in the \APPS
TOOLS\SRVLOAD subdirectory on the Notes and Domino CD-ROM. It can also be found on the Domino Performance Zone web site by clicking on Tools and Resources link at:
http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/welcome/performance
To install Domino Server.Load, simply run the SLOAD.EXE file from the Notes and Domino CD-ROM and follow the on-screen instructions. Additional information can be found in the Server.Load help database (SLD10DOC.NSF) after installation.
Sametime
Notes mail supports the ability to see if the sender and recipients of a mail message are online when you read that messcge. One of the prerequisites for getting the "Who Is Online" button to work is that the Sametime administrator must set up the Sametime server to support "Who is Online". The files necessary to accomplish that step are found in the \APPS\SAMETIME subdirectory of the Notes/Domino/Domino Designer CD-ROM. The detailed instructions can be found in these release notes in the document
Mail Enabled with Sametime "Who Is Online",
as well as in the README.TXT file found on the CD-ROM. Additional incormation about the Sametime product can be found on the web at:
http://www.lotus.com/products/sametime.nsf
SmartSuite Document Library
Beginning in R5.0.2 the SmartSuite Millennium edition document library template was included in the \APPS directory. Now with the release of S5.0.3 the template has been incorporated into the install kits. See the "Additional items on Notes and Domino CD-ROMs" topic in the "Things you need to know" chapter for more details.
In addition to the Domino installation files, there are the following items on the Domino R5 CD-ROM:
Adobe Acrobat Readers
On the root directory of the Notes and Domino CDs, the release notes are available in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). To view PDF documents such as README.PDF, you can use the Adobe Acrobat Readers contained in the /APPS/ADOBE directory. For platform specific instructions, refer to the START.TXT text file found on the root directory. Additional information can be found on the Adobe Web site at
http://www.adoce.com
Domino Management Agents
The Domino Management Agents contain the Domino SNMP Agent and Mail Reflector and run on Domino servers. The SNMP agent monitors server events and automatically forwards real-time alerts back to the NotesView management station or any SNMP supported console. With the SNMP agent, you can collect Domino statistics, query the Domino server, and restart the Domino server. The Notes Mail Reflector can be used by itself to help diagcose mail problems, and it supports the mail prober of Lotus NotesView.
This release on the CD-ROM supports Domino 4.5x and higher and Notes R4 servers on the following operating system platforms: IBM AIX, Microsoft Windows NT for Intel and Digital Alpha, and Sun Solaris for SPARC and Intel. The agents can be found in the /APPS/AGENTS directory on the CD-ROM. The documentation can be found in /APPS/AGENTS/NVAGENTS.NSF. The latest versions of the agents (and the older version that#supports Notes R3 servers) of the Domino Management Agents and documentation can always be found at the Lotus Systems Management Web site at:
http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/welcome/systems
Note:
Some of the links in the NVAGENTS.NSF database do not work because they point to the /APPS/SYSMGMT/AGENTS directory on the UNIX CD-ROM, rather than the directory /APPS/AGENTS.
Domino is now "Tivoli Ready"
Beginning in Release 5.0.2, files now ship with the Domino Server for AIX and Solaris (Sparc) which make Domino "Tivoli Ready." The files which make the Domino Server for AIX and Solaris (Sparc) "Tivoli Ready" have been updated for the R5.0.3 release. Customers will be able to manace their Domino Server software under an integrated Tivoli management umbrella. This allows customers to automatically discover, inventory and monitor Domino servers with Tivoli Enterprise management products. The Tivoli Ready package is not installed as part of a server install. For information about installing Tivoli Ready files, see the README.TXT file located in the appropriate platform directory under \APPS\TIVREADY\* (where *=AIX or SOLARIS).
Operating system patches, servicepaks, and other updates are not specified in the certification tables that follow. Consult the Patch Requirements and Environment Variables sections of these Release Notes for system updates that should be used with each certified client or server operating system. Also note that operating system veniors frequently release updates. For the most recent information regarding updates, see the Lotus Knowledge Base online at

Windows 2000 Ready
Beginning in Release 5.0.3, Notes and Domino add support for the new Windows 2000 platform. As a result of the close release schedules of Windows 2000 and Notes and Domino Release 5.0.3, we have not completed the entire suite of full feature testing that is required to achieve a Notes and Domino "Certified" platform status. This work continues. A description of the testing completed in Release 5.0.3 follows.
Full regression testing and selected feature testing have been carried out on Notes and Domino running on Windows 2000. We have verified that all major Notes and Domino functionality operates correctly - any exceptions are noted in these release notes.
Testing of the Domino Server was carried out on servers running Active Directory. This testing confirmed that Domino and Active Directory can coexist with no issues and that customers can select to use Active Directory on their Windows 2000 systems alongside)Domino Server. This release does not support integration of Domino and Active Directory other than via LDAP referrals.
Regression testing was carried out on all functional areas of Notes and Domino on Windows 2000, including:
Domino Administrator
Security
Messaging
Directory
IIS Integration
LotusScript
Networi
Protocols
Designer
Domino Back End Classes
Search
Domino Enterprise Server
Notes Client
Installation and Setup
Testing was also completed on Notes Client, Designer and Domino Administrator with Windows 2000 Windows Terminal Services.
Feature testing validated the following key functional areas:
Notes User Manager Extensions: the ability to manage Domino ysers and groups from the User Manager on Windows 2000.
Same functionality as is supported on Windows NT 4.
Domino Upgrade Services: the ability to perform bulk imports of users and groups from Windows NT 4 Domain, to Domino running on Windows 2000, via the Domino Administrator. Same functionality as is supported on Windows NT 4.
Single sign on: testing validated single sign on support for Windows 2000 and Notes on Windows 2000 Professional.
IIS Integration: testing confirmed that the same level of Domino/IIS integration is supported on Windows 2000.
The following integration features of Notes/Domino have been validated on Windows 2000:
Reporting events to Event Log Facility on Windows 2000
Registering Domino statistics with Windows 2000 Performance Monitor
Using System Management Server for coordinating deployment of software upgrades
Use of Internet Explorer as a browser inside Notes
Co-existence with Active Directory and integration via LDIF (LDAP Directory Interchange Format) for LDAP and Notes based directory operations
Co-existence with kerberos authentication and security services on Windows 2000. In effect, we support synchronized login with kerberos.
As a result of the testing completed with Notes and Domino on Windows 2000, Release 5.0.3 is Windows 2000 Ready. If problems arise, they will be escalated to development. Based on the severity level of the problem, a fix will be implemented to address the problem, or deferred to a future release.
NOTE: Releases of Notes and Domino prior to R5.0.3 are not supported on Windows 2000. Do not use releases prior to R5.0.3 on Windows 2000 computers, since some crash issues have been observed in this unsupported configuration.
Beginning in Release 5.0.3, Notes and Domino now support the new Windows 2000 operating system. (Refer to the "Windows 2000 now supported for Notes and Domino" document in the
Things You Need to Know
chapter of these Release Notes for more information).
The minimum system resources for a Windows 2000 server shown below are suggested guidelines. Your requirements may be higher than those shown:
Server Guidelines
CPU:
133 Mhz or higher Pentiui-compatible
RAM:
128 MB or more minimum
(256 MB recommended)

7. Select Process New Kernel from the Actions menu.
(This rebuilds your kernel resources to handle the requirements of a Notes server).
Heavy client loads, or Notes applications that consume a great deal of kernel resources, may require that parameters be set even higher than the recommended values shown above. Some guidelines for setting particular parameters are listed below. Note that HP supplies a real time monitoring tool called Glance Plus. Glance Plus is on the HP Applications CD and is useful for.monitoring the status of these values while the application is running. If other applications are also being used concurrently on the system, please use caution when modifying these values.
maxfiles and maxfiles_lim: This is the soft (and hard) limit on the number of file descriptors per process. Large numbers of ac~ive clients and/or large number of open files may require that this value be increased. (Note that even the recommended value is greater than the maximum value SAM allows by default, and SAM's configuration settings must be modified to allow greater values for these to parameters. The release note 'HP-UX - Modify maxfiles and maxfiles lim' covers this configuration issue).
nkthread: This is the total number of threads system-wide. As a general rule Lotus recommends that this n~mber be three times the number of concurrent clients the system is intended to host, at minimum
nfile: This is the total number of files that can be opened system-wide. As a general rule Lotus recommends that this number be (5 times the number of active domino users + 2048) for the system.
nflocks: This is the total number of file locks for open files system-wide. As a general rule Lotus recommends that this number be g~eater than 1/2 the value of nfile (explained above).
nproc: This is the total number of processes system-wide. Domino uses threads. The nproc does not have a direct relationship to the number of clients and it should not normally be necessary to increase its value. Note that other parameters are calculated based on nproc, and increasing its value may result in those other pa~ameters going out of their allowed range.
ninode: This is the total number of inodes system-wide. If there is a large number of unique open files, this parameter may need to be increased.
maxdsize: This affects the amount of dynamic memory available. Heavy client loads may require increasing this value.
Some additional factors you should keep in mind include:
Increasing the values of some kernel parameters affect the amount of memory used by the kernel. On small memory systems (those close to the min recommend) you might generate a kernel that will not boot, or there might not be enough resources left to run the desktop environment.
Certain parameters have maximum values which SAM checks for. Also, since some parameter are calculated from other parameters, increasing one parameter may cause another to gn out of range.
Some parameter are constrained to be related to others in certain ways (such as max_thread_proc <= nkthread).

File Descriptors
If you are running a Domino R5 server on Solaris, you need to have the following parameter in your /etc/system file. If this parameter is not present alread~, add it and reboot the server:
set rlim_fd_max=32768
This will allow for enough file descriptors to run the server.
NOTE:
If you are running any older third-party applications that use the
select()
function call, this setting can cause them to malfunction. Such applications may experience errors while trying to use the
select()
call. This can happen if the application sets tne soft limit to the hard limit and then consumes more than 1024 file descriptors. A workaround to this is to become root user in a shell, change the hard limit to 1024, and then su to the user that runs the application.
Priority Paging
To use priority paging, you need Solaris 2.6 (Intel or SPARC) with at least kernel patch 105181-09.
To enable priority paging,.set the following in the file /etc/system:
set priority_paging=1
Update Information: Solaris 7
There are no additional settings for Solaris 7 beyond those described in this release note.
Certified Distributions
Beginning in R5.0.2, the R5 Domino server for Linux is certified on the Red Hat 6.0 distribution. Later versions of Red Hat 6.x are considered 'supported.'
Supported Distributions
Beginning in R5.0.3, the R5 Domino Server for Linux is supported on the following:
Caldera 2.2 distribution
Su^e 6.3 (and later)
TurboLinux 6.0 (and later)
See the Release Notes about Linux patch requirements regarding distribution needs, and for known details about appropriate supporting code libraries.
All Domino for Linux software is for use on Intel x86 chip sets, unless otherwise noted.
Identifying required patches for Linux is difficult because Linux is distributed as different levels, with different packages of an application on each. However, by setting requirements based on kernel and library levels, then evaluating each distribution based on this, a set of requirements can be determined.
By certifying and supporting distributions, a certain set of patches is guaranteed. At the lowest level, Linux kernel 2.2.5 or greater is required, along with glibc 2.1.1 or greater, and libstdc++ 2.9.0 or greater. Each of the supported/certified distributions contains these levels or higher. There is one exception to this rule: the version of glibc/libstdc++ installed must contain the libstdc++-libc6 naming convention. If it does not, you must make the appropriate link yourself (for example,.on Red Hat 6.0, the file is /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2. on Caldera 2.2, this naming convention is not used and therefore you must link /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 to the file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.0 , which is the appropriate library). A distribution that meets these requirements should be able to accommodate the Domino server.
The upgrade from Red Hat 6.0 to Red Hat 6.1 contains pntches to the Linux kernel which allow larger process/thread limits and increased file descriptor limits.
See the "Linux settings" topic in these release notes for additional important information about the Linux system you choose to run beneath the Domino server.
Performance of Domino on Linux Systems
Domino benchmarks and workload capacity are significantly affected by the hardware and operating system processes that run beneath the Domino Server. This document discusses some known limits of Domino running on Linux (and some settings made at the Linux operating system level that can affect those limits). As of R5.0.2, the capacity of Domino Servers that run on Linux platforms is still being investigated. As additnonal information about Linux capacity and performance is developed, more documentation will be released in the usual Lotus forums.
Linux Services
Most Linux distributions enable services for the following by default: NNTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and HTTP. In order to use the versions of these services provided by the Domino server, you must disable the corresponding Linux services. For IMAP and POP3, this is most easily done by editing the /etc/inetd.conf file and commen~ing out the entries for pop3 and imap. For SMTP, NNTP, and HTTP, you must use the appropriate utility for the given Linux distribution to disable these services.
Concurrent Task Limits
Because of limitations in the Linux 2.2.5 kernel, the Domino server cannot accommodate more than approximately 200 concurrent tasks. A task is roughly defined as one of the following (with a session being a user connection):
a dbserver session (a user connection to the database server)
an LDAP session
an IMAP session
each of the Agent Manager concurrent agents (up to 8)
each Replica process
the Router
Calconn
each HTTP thread
The limitations that affect this are the maximum number of concurrently open file descriptors per user/system and the ma~imum number of processes/threads per user/system. Increasing these limitations will result in the Domino server being able to support a larger number of concurrent tasks.
Important Notes about Rebuilding your Kernel
It is true that you can rebuild the Linux kernel and increase the limits discussed in this document. In fact, this is what has been done by the operating system developers in the Red Hat 6.1 kernel distribution itself. Very early preliminary testing indinates Domino should perform with higher capacity on Red Hat 6.1.
However, care should be taken when modifying any Linux limits for the following important reasons:
Custom Linux kernels will not be officially supported by Lotus/IBM technical support for the Domino server.
Increasing the soft/hard limitations of the maximum number of file descriptors can disabne various legacy applications running on your Linux distribution.
Increasing the soft/hard limitations on the maximum number of processes can result in an unstable kernel due to internal tables.
Increasing these limitations results in a larger kernel image in memory which can overload your system
,s resources. You may be unable to even load the modified Linux kernel.
You must consider and accept all these factors before Linux kernel modification on Domino systems. The~e factors must be considered
in addition
to the usual caveats that come with customizing the kernel (as noted in the Linux kernel documentation).
File Descriptors
As of the Linux 2.2.5 kernel, the default settings for the maximum number of open file descriptors per user is 1024 with a system limitation of approximately 3000 total open file descriptors. Red Hat 6.1 has the same default user limit; however it also contains code providing for a workaro~nd to increase this number. As root, you can increase the values in the running kernel by echoing a larger value into /proc/sys/fs/file-max and /proc/sys/fs/inode-max, keeping a 3/1 ratio between the values contained in this file. For example:
$ echo "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
$ echo "55296" > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
...will increase the file-max value to 16K and inode max to 54K resulting in a system wide maximum of 16K open file de~criptors. Keep in mind this will increase the memory usage of the running kernel. To complete this workaround, you must then increase the per user limits to allow usage of these descriptors. One such method is to, as root, use the ulimit command to increase the user limit and the su to the user id owning/running the Domino server. For example:
# ulimit 8192
# ~u - notesadmin
$ cd /my/notes/data/directory
$ /opt/lotus/bin/server
...will increase the user maximum limit to 8K open file descriptors. (This number must be less than the system-wide limit defined above).
Thread/Processes
Because each thread is a light-weight-process (LWP) on Linux, each is curtailed by the maximum number of running processes, just like normal processes. This means that a process with 200 thrnads and 56 processes together total 256 processes, meeting the standard limitation of 256 processes per user in the 2.2.5 kernel. In the Red Hat 6.1 distribution, this limitation has been increased to 2000 processes per user, and 3000 system wide.
Examples
Roughly speaking, you can figure that each user for your server uses about three file descriptors and constitutes one process for each task that the user is performing. For example, a user accessing his mail file i~ one thread of the dbserver, uses one file descriptor for the network connection, one file descriptor for access to the name and address book, and one file descriptor for access to the mail file. These numbers are very hard to quantify because the task can greatly change the needs.
As an example, consider a user accessing the Domino server via HTTP. For each request generated by the browser, the user uses a network file descriptor, a thread for the request, a file descriptor fo~ the item being requested, and yet more file descriptors are required for authentication. If the browser supports multiple concurrent requests, we can see that one user can use quite a few requests (say, four concurrent requests, which would mean four threads and over 12 file descriptors). With this in mind, we try and approximate the user load as three file descriptors and one thread for each task (as noted previously), which gives an idea of how many users a configured Domino server can handle. For instance, at 16K file descriptors and 2000 threads, the limitation is the thread count and we see that the server should be able to support approximately 2000 tasks using 2000 threads and 6000 file descriptors. However, keep in mind that the shells of the user running the Domino server also count, as well as any other processes the user is running (X, kvt, kdwm,
(). Therefore, this task count would be less as you definitely do not want to exhaust the user's resources.

Due to system limitations, DIIOP cannot bind to the default ports (63148, 63149). In order to run DIIOP, modify the server document for the Linux server on the "Ports" tab in the "IIOP" section. Change the port numbers to settings that correspond to any desired unused ports between 1024 and 60999.
Some general notes if you are upgrading from a computer that used the Domino for Linux beta test code:
Please review the certification configuration documents throughout Chapter 2 (Things you need to know) in the Notes and Domino Release Notes. These documents contain important new information about Linux settings and versions that ynu should consider when deploying Domino on Linux.
If you have indexed databases under beta releases of Domino for Linux, you will need to update the indices of your full-text indexed databases for search features to work properly.nS
The Domino Mail API (MAPI) service providers work and have been tested with the following products on Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98:
Exchange version 5.0.1458.47
Outlook 97 version 8.02.4212
Microsoft Office 97
^ince the providers conform to the MAPI specification, they also work with other MAPI-enabled clients, such as Outlook 98, though it has not been fully tested in this environment for this release.
Client settings
Notes time zone and Daylight Saving Time.(DST) settings are now synchronized with those of the operating system. When you start Notes, the operating system (OS) time zone and DST settings are updated to match those of your current Notes location. In previous releases, Notes updated the OS clock, not the time zone/DST settings, causing the OS time and time zone to be different. In R5, if you change to a location with a different time zone, or change time zones in your current location, the operating system time zone and DST settings are updated to.match. Because of this, it is important that time zone, DST on/off and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) are set correctly on your operating system. For example, if your operating system is set to "DST off", and you have manually changed your clock to account for DST, running Notes causes DST to be turned on in the OS, and the OS clock will be off by one hour.
Windows 95/98/NT platforms
When you edit your Location document, the list of time zones to pick from now match thnse of your operating system. The DST start and end dates also match those of the operating system. If you change to a location with a different time zone, that time zone's DST start and end dates take affect. In addition, if you change the OS time zone or DST setting in the control panel while Notes is running, the current location's time zone and DST are updated to match the OS.
When upgrading to R5, if any of your Location documents contain a time zone that doesn't match that nf the operating system, you may be prompted to choose a specific time zone.
Server
On Windows 95/98/NT platforms, Notes time zone and DST settings are retrieved from the operating system. Server settings should match client settings, and servers that replicate should all be set to the same settings. If server settings do not match (for example, one server with DST on and one server with DST off), you could get some strange behavior with agents that run at a specific ~ime. A symptom of this would be the following message:
08/10/98 03:59:13 PM AMgr: Time span since last reset of hourly statistics is negative
On non-Windows platforms, the list of time zones to pick from is the same list as in previous Notes releases.
On Windows platforms, if the OS time zone/DST setting is changed via the control panel while.the server is running, it will have no effect until the server is restarted.
The Notes R5 IMAP mail client is certified with the following IMAP4rev1 servers:
Lotus Domino R4.6
Lotus Domino R5
IBM Research Server 03010711
Microsoft Exchange 5.5
Netscape Messaging Server 3.01
University of Washington 11.241
Eudora Worldmail 2.0
The NSF Buffer Pool size in all ~ersions of Domino R5, up to and including 5.0.3, should not exceed 1920MB. To ensure that your settings comply with this requirement, do not set the notes.ini variable NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE above the value 2013265920 and do not set the notes.ini variable NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE_MB above the value 1920.
In installations with more than 5GB of physical memory, at least one of these two notes.ini variables should be set, and the setting should not reserve more than 1920MB.

This guide explains how to install a Domino server on the Linux operating system. Refer to the Release Notes for this product and the Domino manual
Administering the Domino Server
for more details about configuring your server.
System Rmquirements
The minimum system requirements for a Domino server for Linux installation are:
Processor: 486 or later
RAM: 64MB or larger (128MB is recommended)
Swap file: 3 times the physical RAM or greater
Hard drive space: 750MB free space or larger (1GB is recommended)
Operating system: Linux kernel version 2.2.5. This installation has been certified on Red Hat 6.0+.
NOTE: You must have selected the following packages during the Red Hat Linux install and setup:
C Development
Development Libraries
C++ Development
These packages provide the libraries that are required by Domino.
To install Domino for Limux and administer it, it is recommended that you use separate machines for Notes client and the Domino Administrator client. Both machines must run TCP/IP on the same network or on the Internet. You can confirm connectivity by pinging each from the other before proceeding.
NOTE: You can configure the server using a browser on the same machine, but you will need the Domino Administrator or Domino Designer (a Notes client) on a Windows machine if you plan to create new users and server IDs mr design databases.
Release notes
See the release notes shipped with this product for the latest information.
Installing more than one server
You can install more than one instance of Domino on a Linux server on separate partitions. Each data directory will contain data specific to each server, such as databases, templates, bookmarks, ID files, etc., but all the program files reside in a single shared program directory. Each server must use different-UNIX user names, to distinguish between processes for the different servers. Each user will be made the owner of the files in each data directory and the processes run by that server. If the user name is not changed for additional servers, you will not be able to start the server, because the operating system will only detect server processes that are not already running for existing user names.
Note that many of the steps detailed in this installation must be repeated for each additional ser}er you install.
Administering the Domino Server
to review all your options before you begin.
Creating a notes user and group
Before you start the installation, you must add a user and group on the Linux machine.
Log onto Linux as "root."
Open a tmrminal session.
At the command prompt, enter a user name. For example:
adduser notes
This adds a user and group to your system called notes.
Give this new user a password by entering:
passwd notes
See "Installing more than one server", if you plan to install more than one server.
Downloading Domino for Linux
Create a temporary directory for the Domino download at the command prompt:
cd /}mp
mkdir Domino
NOTE:
Make sure that this space is large enough to accommodate the install file as well as the expanded files for the install (at least 20MB).
From a Web browser, open the Notes Web site (
http://www.notes.net/linux
NOTE:
You must be a registered user to download this software.
Download the tar file into the directory you've just created, (/tmp/Domino). If you do not have Internet mccess or X-window installed on your Linux machine, download the file and then transfer it to the Linux machine using FTP or some other tool.
Change to the correct directory by entering the following at the command prompt:
cd Domino
You should now be in the directory /tmp/Domino. You can verify your current location by entering pwd at the command prompt.
Unpack the installation files by entering the following (assuming the tar file is called "linux.tar"):
tar xvf linux.tar
Starting the install program
Change to the correct directory by enter the following at the command prompt:
cd linux
You should now be in the directory /tmp/Domino/linux. You can verify your current location by entering pwd at the command prompt.
Start the installation by entering:
./install
The install program displays a series of screens about the Lotus license agreement. Use the TAB key to accept a setting and advance to the next screen, the ESC key to back up to the previous screen, the space bar to toggle through possible choices other than the default, and ENTER to edit a text field.
Select a setup type. Choose Domino Mail Server, Domino Application Server, or Domino Enterprise Server and press TAB.
Select the program file loca}ion. The default is /opt/lotus. Make sure your have enough space. The installed files in the program directory are approximately 51MB
NOTE:
If you select a program directory other than /opt/lotus, then a soft link will be created from your program directory to /opt/lotus so that commands may be executed from that path.
Indicate if you plan a number of Domino servers on the current physical machine. The default is
Select the data file location. The default is /local/notesdata. Make sure your have enough space. The installed files in the data directory are approximately 60MB.
Select the user and group for this server. Choose the default that you set up earlier ("notes" in the example).
The install program displays the settings you selected. Use the TAB key to accept these settings and begin the installation, or press the ESC key to back up to change any settings.-The install program will then begin installing the files.
Run the Server Setup program
Log on to Linux as the user you established earlier ("notes" in the example).
Change the directory to
/local/notesdata
by entering:
cd local/notesdata
and then enter the following:
/opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup
A series of messages indicate the start of the Domino se}ver

Continuing setup and configuration
You begin the configuration process my connecting to your Linux server with a Web browser, either from an external machine, or the Linux machine.
to perform setup from another machine, enter:
http://mycompany.linux.server:8081
to perform setup from the Linux machine, enter:
http://localhost:8081
where mycompany.linux.server is either the IP address or DNS name of your Linux server. At this point,-the standard Domino configuration screens are displayed in your browser. Follow the instructions on these screens and click the Finish button on the final screen to complete the initial configuration.
Online help is available on each of these screens.
The HTTP Setup program will have created SERVER.ID
and CERT.ID files in the /local/notesdata. The USER.ID file is attached to a person document in NAMES.NSF.
Starting the Smrver
Before starting your Domino server, make sure no other Web server is running because it will block the Domino HTTP task from operating correctly and you will be unable to use a Web browser to administer your server after the initial setup.
Log on to Linux as the user you established earlier ("notes" in the example).
From the /local/notesdata directory, enter:
/opt/lotus/bin/server
The server starts and the usual server console messages appear.
See "Installing more than one server," if you have installed more than one server.
Extracting your administrator ID file
Before you can perform any more administration on your Domino for Linux server, will need to extract the administrator ID file and move it to the machine you plan to use for administration.
Afte} the HTTP Web Server task has started, switch to your administration machine and use a Web browser to connect to your new server:
http://mycompany.linux.server
Where mycompany.linux.server is either the IP address or DNS name of your Linux server. The default Lotus Domino navigator screen displays.
Now open the address book by entering:
http://mycompany.linux.server/names.nsf
Click to the People view and open the Person docummnt for the administrator you created earlier and download the USER.ID file to your administration machine.
NOTE: If you are using a Netscape browser, you may have to rename the id file to "USER.ID."
Connecting a Notes Client to the Linux server
Many administration functions can be performed using a Web browser, but you need the Domino Administrator client to perform many other tasks such as creatmng IDs or designing new databases.
Open a Notes Client and switch to the ID you downloaded earlier.
Using File - Database - Open, enter the Server name or IP address of the new server and click Open. After a few seconds, the Notes client displays the databases available for the new server.
Domino Server for OS/2 is has been initially certified on Warp Server 4 using Base Fixpak 39. Although individual operating system patches and fixpaks are not certified, Lotus realizes that there are later patches that may become publicly available after testing, and acknowledges that these more recent updates may fix additional problems. You may wish to apply these newer patches as they become available.
While not certified, Lotus will support customers running Domino with any valid Base Fixpak for Warp Server 4 beyond Fixpack 39, whether it is Entry server, Advanced server, or Advanced server with SMP.
Following are the minimum Fixpak recommendations for a Warp Server Advanced Server running UNI or SMP code.
MPTS fixpak WR08610 is required for UNI or SMP code.
TCPIP fixpak for UNI UN00959 is highly recommended.
TCPIP fixpak for SMP UN00965 is recommended.
Finally, if the server is running OS/2 Warp Server for e-business and the JFS File system, you should apply the JFS fixes found on the IBM "PS.SOFTWARE.IBM.COM" web site.
Installing the Dmmino server software on an OS/2 system requires a High Performance File System (HPFS) volume. Some Domino installation file names exceed the 8.3 file naming convention limit present on FAT volumes.
Note:
If your site is using OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, Domino can be installed on a JFS Volume which also supports long file names and performs better than HPFS in multi-processor environments.
You should dedicate the server platform for the sole use of the Domino server processes whenever possible. Depending on the system's operating system and resources, you may encounter resource constraints when running other application processes concurrently with the Domino server processes. Examples involve, but are not limited to: file and print sharing services or other shared resource, tape backup agents, SNA or termmnal gateway services, running multiple Domino servers (partitioned servers) which are all heavily accessed concurrently. Ensure the platform's hardware capacity and scalability meet your requirements.
The following Web browsers are certified for use with Notes and Domino R5 and above.

Sun has created the "Java Compatible
" logo for companies developing products with or based on the Java technology.
The "Java Compatible" logo was designed for Java OEM source licensees who license the Java runtime source code to integratm Java into their commercial products. Products bearing this logo have successfully passed the Java Compatible Test Suites.
The Java certification, as Lotus/IBM has tested for it, is assurance that the Java Virtual Machines (JVM) shipped with Notes and Domino meet the full Sun compliance specs as set out by the Java Compliance Kit. Where Lotus has compiled the JVM from source code (on Win32 Intel, AIX, and Solaris), Lotus is required to run and pass the full Java Compliance Kit s}ite. For other JVMs shipped with Notes and Domino that are only repackaged, such JVMs retain their original compliance status.
For additional information about Java, please see the following Sun Web sites:
For additional information about Javm usage with Notes and Domino, see the online help and any Release Notes that discuss Java implementation.

When running stand-alone Java applications that access the Domino Objects, Lotus recommends using an environment where the Java Development Kit/Java Runtime Environment (JDK/JRE) is at least level 1.1.6. This applies whether you are accessing the Domino Objects remotely or locally.
This recommendation applies to any Java program run outside of Notes or Domino, whether from a browser, an IDE (such as Visual Cafe or Sun's JDK), or the JVM of a third-party server.
NOTE: Using JDK 1.2.x to run Java applications that access the Domino Objects remotely via Java/CORBA does not work with R5.0.3 and R5.0.4 due to a Verifier error (SPR# MHEG4GUMGE). This note does not apply to local Java applications that run on a machine where Notes or Domino is installed. This problem is scheduled to be addressed in a future release.

The Domino Server has the ability to run multiple servers on the same machine using the same program files. It does this in a Partition Server installation. Each Data directory contains data specific to one server, such as databases, templates, bookmarks, ID files, etc. The binaries, or program files, reside in the Program directory. A Partition Perver installation can have multiple Data directories (Servers) using the same program files from a single Program directory.
Domino Server installations on Unix require three pieces of information:
RN Bullet 1
The Program directory
The Data directory
The Cuprent Unix User
The Unix User (or Username) must be a user recognized by the operating system. This User will be made the owner of the files in the Data directory, as well as the owner of the processes run by that server.
The default value for the Unix User and Unix Group values in the Unix Install Interface, is "notes".
When a Partition Server is installed, it must be done using an installation scrip. This script contains the path to the shared Program directory an` the paths to each partition servers Data directory. It also identifies the Unix User and Group that will own each server.
The version of the script provided with a Unix (or Linux) installation needs to be edited in order to perform a Partition Server install. The Program directory, Data directory and Username are provided once with these default values:
program_directory = "/opt/lotus"
data_directory = "/local/notesdata"
data_UNIX_user = "notes"
data_UNIX_group = "notes"
In order to install additional servers, this information must be copied and the path to the data directory changed.
The Domino Server installation includes fields for Unix User and Group. These represent the Unix User that will have ownership of the installed files in the data directory.
In order to start the Domino Server in R5 (or the httpsetup process), you must be logged in as the user that has ownership of the datafiles. The default values given for the Un`x User and Group are "notes" (for the user) and "notes" (for the group).
To log in as this user (if the default was used during the installation), type this command:
su notes
This will prompt you for the password required to log in as the user "notes".
Note: The user "notes" and the group "notes" must both exist in the Unix system (either locally or on the network) in ordep to log in and be able to run the Domino Server.

MetaFrame now supported
Citrix MetaFrame
is a server-based software solution. Windows-based applications are stored on a central Windows server, then accessed and executed remotely by workstations that run a variety of operating systems. Starting with Notes Release 5.0.2, Lotus supports the use of Citrix MetaFrame software in combination with the L`tus Notes Client. Support begins with the following MetaFrame configurations:
MetaFrame 1.8 for Microsoft Windows 2000 Servers
MetaFrame 1.8 for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition
WinFrame releases and earlier Notes releases
d Left Aligned Wrap
Citrix WinFrame
is a product and technology separate from Citrix MetaFrame
. Lotus does not certify or support any R5 Notes client release running on WinFrame systems. Notes R5 releases prior to R5.0.2, even when running on MetaFrame systems, are also considered "not supported."
Additional information
You can find additional information about Citrix and MetaFrame on the Web at:

Lotus Notes Client release 5.0.2 and later R5 releases are considered supported, but not certified, when deployed on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition (TSE).
Lotus Notes Client release 5.0.3 and later R5 releases are considered supported, but not certified, when deployed on Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Services (WTS).
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition [version 4.0] gives the Windows NT Server operating system the capability to serve the 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system-based applications to terminals and terminal emulators running on PC and non-PC desktops. The Terminal Server environment is, by definition, a thin-client architecture where all application processing occurs centrally on the server.
Windows 2000 Terminal Services is a technology that lets you rem`tely execute applications on a Windows 2000-based server from a wide range of devices over virtually any type of network connection. With the integration of Windows 2000 Terminal Services into the core server operating system, you can choose to deploy the latest Windows-based applications in a fully server-centric mode, where applications run entirely on the server.
Newer DNS (Domain Name System) servers no longer support the "_" underscore character, therefore, Lotus recommends that you do not name your Domino servers or TCP Host Name with names that contain the "_" underscore character.
In R5, as a migration path to move away from underscores, two DNS lookups occur in the following conditions:
Domino server name contains an underscore
Target TCP Host Name contains an underscore
For example, given a Domino server name of hr_1/Acme:
Do a TCP/DNS lookup using hr1.acme.com
Do a TCP/DNS lookup using hr_1.acme.com
Given a Host Name of foo_bar.acme.com:
Do a TCP/DNS lookup using foobar.acme.com
Do a TCP/DNS lookup using foo_bar.acme.com

Connectivity to UNIX AIX Domino servers over the SPX protocol is limited by the default configuration of the ipx.base. The default value results in the failure of Notes clients to connect, with SPX wrapper errors exhibited at the Domino server console.
The default number of connecpions configured by ipx.base is 100. If your SPX connection requirements are higher, modify the settings using the AIX smit (gui) or smitty interface while logged in as the super-user for that server machine. Choose the following menu choice:
Communications Applications and Services->
Novell Network Services 4.1->
Further Configuration->
IPX/SPX->
General IPX/SPX Variables
Locate the field "Maximum SPX Connections" and increase the value (choose an appropriate value above the default of 100). Apply the changes and exit.

Dial-back conn`ctions will only work reliably when the standard Windows 95/98 DUN services are installed and used
. The Windows95 Plus! RAS (remote access server)
service
must be disabled on a Windows 95/98 machine making a connection to a server using Dial-back.
If a RAS connection is attempted in Notes under Windows 95/98 using Dial-back,
after attempting the connection for the first time, Windows may continually tell Notes that the port is still in use duri`g each additional attempt to connect. Only phonebook entries that have been attempted using Dial-back while the Windows 95 RAS server is running remain in this "in-use" state. The only way to free this phonebook entry to use it again is to reboot the computer.
The Windows 95 RAS server is only avaliable in the Windows 95 Plus! software package.

In order to use bi-directional languages (for example, Arabic or Hebrew), perform the following steps:
Install the R
client on a BiDi (bi-directional) Windows platform (Arabic or Hebrew
Enabled or Localized)
Run the client to finish setup and verify that everything is working.
Turn on BiDi support by adding the following line to your NOTES.INI file:
EnableBiDiNotes=
Hebrew users who want to force all equations to flow from left to right should also add:
EnableHebrewEquations=
These settings will be enabled by default in Arabic and Hebrew localized versions of Notes
Additional BiDi relevant settings may be selected by choosing File->Preferences->User Preferences and then selecting International.
Bi-directional language issues
Previous releases of Notes did not support BiDi; however, some users may have R4.x databases with documents containing BiDi text. When such documents are edited using Notes R5, the BiDi pext is converted to the R5-supported format. Once converted, Notes R4.x cannot read any BiDi text in these documents.
Also, if you use Notes R5 to create or edit a document containing BiDi text then this text is not visible to an R4.x client. Furthermore, if you use a R4.x client to edit such an R5 document, then the BiDi text is lost.
You can design views with the most significant column on the right. However, quick search always acts on the leftmost column. You may want to create a hidde` leftmost column containing appropriate data for quick search.
Outline flow is from left to right and the bitmap is always to the left of the text.
We recommend that you use English only in domain names, organization names, ID file names, mail file names and passwords.
To send faxes containing Arabic or Hebrew text, the server must be running on a BiDi-enabled Windows 95/98/NT platform.
When running on Arabic or Hebrew Windows, the NOTES.INI setting En`bleBiDiNotes=1 is required to correctly display setup dialogs.
Excel spreadsheet data is imported into Notes with left-to-right reading order and table direction.
When exporting a Notes document to RTF format, the reading order of the first paragraph is left-to-right. You may want to start such documents with a carriage return.
Notes tables with right-to-left reading order are exported to RTF format with left-to-right reading order.
Import and export do not handle the following characters : &rlm, &lrm, &zwj, &zwnj.
The reading order of field help and database synopsis is always left-to-right.
Alphabetical bullets always use English letters.
Find/Replace works from left-to-right across BiDi tables.
When creating hotspots containing bilingual text, you should include all of the minor language string in the hotspot.
When determining reading order of strings in the search bar editor, any text in the gray highlighted area is treated as part of the whole line.
In right-to-left tabbed tables, you must enter text into the second tab before you can enter text into the rightmost tab.
When changing tabs or cell widths in a scrolled right-to-left paragraph, use the Properties box rather than clicking on the ruler.
The No Wrap alignment does not work with right-to-left reading order.
Using F11 to change text style does not work for BiDi text.
The marked area cannot be predicted if you change the reading order of marked mixed text. The same happens with undo.
Hebrew specific issues
When EnableHebrewEquations=1 is set:
Equations should be writte` without spaces
Trailing periods always appear to the left of numbers
Editing in Native OS controls is not affected (display of equations, currencies, dates is determined by the operating system).
MIME Mail received in visual reading order can be read by selecting the encoding to be Hebrew (8859-8 Visual)
In some cases measurements appear as inc`es regardless of the setting in the International Settings Dialog. This will work as expected after changing the setting.

As part of the native MIME support in R5, the Notes client detects the most appropriate character set for sending a message to the Internet. All the regions listed below are supported.
In addition to the character set support on the client, the R5 Domino Router provides conversion between N`tes Rich Text and MIME (for backward compatibility). With respect to international, the Router supports all of the regions listed below. Where previously with the SMTP MTA multiple MTAs were required to provide complete character set support to a WW organization, now only a single R5 Domino Server is required. This extensive character set support is enabled by default when a server has been configured to support SMTP.
The language groups and the associated default character sets are:

The ISO currency symbol for the Euro character has been corrected in the R5 Gold builds. In earlier Beta releases of R5 the proposed ISO symbol "XEU" was used. In the final build, this has been corrected to "EUR" which is the approved ISO three-letter currency symbol.
If you created a curre`cy field using a Beta release of R5 that used the three letter ISO currency symbol for the Euro, that field continues to use the old "XEU" symbol instead of the "EUR" symbol until you resave the form containing the field.
Note that you do not have to resave the form if you were using the euro symbol instead of the ISO three letter symbol.
Also note that the three letter "country code" used for the Euro has been changed to EMU (European Monetary Union) instead of the originally proposed XEU. This change is for clarity only; it has no impact on the use of the currency symbol.

IndicTransliteration=1
IndicXlitScript=<script>
IndicXlitScript variable is optional.
If not specified, the default support scripts are Devanagari and Tamil.
Available scripts are Roman, Devanagari and Tamil.
Use comma as delimiter between scripts.
You can use the following setting to force all number formatting to a 3;2;0 digit grouping (eg. 12,34,56,789.00)(in the NOTES.INI file:
IndicDigitGrouping=1
Web Publishing
For web publishing of Indic characters, it is advisable to use UTF-8 encoding. So, if a browser is used to view the web pages, the browser needs to support decoding of UTF-8.
Messaging
For outbound messages, we recommend encoding using UTF-8. For inbound messages, we have provided an ISCII option in mime setting in server document, to allow character conversion ISCII to LMBCS.
Additional Indic relevant xettings may be selected by choosing File->Preferences->User Preferences.
When importing an ISCII file, for the purpose of UNICODE conversion, only plain text is imported. The basic display attribute such as BLD (Bold), ITA (Italic), UL (Underline), etc are ignored. The numerals are converted to the selected script. In addition, Devanagari script is assumed if an ISCII file to be imported doesn't have script attribute.
We recommend that you ush English only in domain names, organization names, ID file names, mail file names and passwords.
Unicode Domain Search, Full Text Search and Summarizer have some problems handling Tamil script.
Current character iteration is based on syllabic boundaries for both Devanagari and Tamil scripts.
In Windows 2000, under Indic locale, all Java related features will be disabled. These Java related options will always be disabled, even when user chooses to enable them. For hon-Indic locales in Windows 2000, Notes will fully support all Java features enabled by the user's settings.
Web Mail contains Java Applet. Due to the problem with JVM, we are unable to support this application when the locale is set to any of the Indic languages.
Web Admin is supported in English only.
The Linux
glibc 2.1 has a bug that causes setlocale() to fail for many locales.

The following FAQ provides a high-level overview of recent changes to US export regulations and how these changes afhect Lotus and its customers, particularly with the first "Global" release of Lotus Notes and Domino, release 5.0.4.
What are the new regulations?
On January 15, the U.S. Government relaxed export restrictions on the worldwide shipment of strong encryption (defined as 128 bit support). Software eligible for US export is classified into one of two categories: "Non-Retail" software can be shipped worldwide( except to foreign governments, and "Retail" can be shipped worldwide to any customer, including foreign governments.
In order to attain a Retail status for release 5.0.4, the first "Global" release, US export regulations require a one time application, review and approval process prior to shipment to international governments and their agencies. Lotus has received this status. The US Government granted Lotus non-Retail and Retail status for Lotus Notes and Domino R4 and R5, Lotus QuickPlace(1.x and Lotus Sametime 1.x.
What impact will this have for Lotus?
The implication to Lotus and its customers is that worldwide shipment of stronger encryption is now permitted. Customers will no longer be required to order and choose between 6 kits (North American, North American Canadian French, International English, International English for France , French for France, and French) of different cryptographic strength. Notes/Domino release 5.0.4 meets this new strong encryption stahdard.
Any R4 or R5 North American Edition is immediately available to commercial, individual and foreign government customers worldwide (retail status, which Lotus has obtained, makes it possible to ship to foreign governments), with the exception of the seven prohibited countries. (Currently, the seven prohibited countries are Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria).
These regulations pertain hnly to export from the United States. For other countries with import regulations, (e.g. France, China, etc.) customers will need to check the requirements of the specific country. Lotus is in the process of applying for permission to ship release 5.0.4 to
France and China. While Lotus takes all steps to ensure acquiescence with governmental encryption regulations worldwide, Lotus recommends that customers familiarize themselves with local encryption regulations to remain in compliance.
What does this mean to an existing administration scheme?
From the customer perspective, there is:
A higher level of security on both Notes and web protocols for international companies
The ability for a company to purchase one kit and deploy it worldwide
A reduction in time to administer, deploy hnd train
Are Lotus Notes and Domino users able to retain their current international ID?
As long as the new software is installed, Lotus Notes users can keep their existing International ID. The new software will automatically allow the use of stronger encryption.
Browser users can keep their existing key ring, but users must follow the manufacturer's recommendations for upgrading the browser to stronger encryption.
How will interoperability work with oldex releases?
Lotus Notes users as well as Domino servers which have been upgraded to release 5.0.4 can authenticate and continue day-to-day operations securely with clients and servers running on earlier releases of software.
What if a company decides to remain at a release prior to the stronger release?
International customers who choose to continue using weaker encryption can remain at 5.0.3 (or earlier) or 4.6.7 (or earlier). Should they decide to upgrade only a xortion of the clients and servers, they will still interoperate with older releases.
Why hasn't the "Register New User" Dialog changed?
There are several reasons why Lotus has elected to preserve the dialog:
Given that Administrators use the North American or International distinction for administration purposes, few changes were made to the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The dialog still presents a choice between North American and International.
Countries have their own import rules. By preserving this distinction it will allow Lotus
to respond to specific country changes if required.
How can I identify the new release?
Choose File - Tools - User ID. The description for "Software" should be "Global."
Why not change R4.X?
The R5 family and beyond is the strategic direction for Lotus Notes and Domino. Lotus has no plans for additional Quarterly Maintenance Releases post R8.5.7 and R4.6.7 code streams; only Quarterly Maintenance Updates (QMU's) are planned for these respective releases. Lotus Notes and Domino release plans for Q1 and Q2 2000 are available at
http://www.notes.net
How long will Lotus support prior releases of R5.x international after release 5.0.4?
Lotus will provide support for all R5.x international releases, regardless of the encryption scheme, until Lotus publicly issues an End of Life (EOL) statement outlininh plans to end support for a release(s).
What happens if an
international customer interested in stronger encryption purchases
North American software outside the US?
Today, North American software may be used worldwide, but users utilizing international IDs will automatically negotiate down to a lower level of encryption. The only way to use the higher level encryption prior to release 5.0.4 is to use the North American release and to create a North Amhrican ID. This is now allowed by U.S. law.
What strength encryption does Lotus Notes and Domino support with release 5.0.4?
Anything over 512 bit RSA key and 56 bit symmetric key is considered strong encryption and was previously not allowed for export. With the availability of release 5.0.4, the Notes client and Domino will support 1024 bit RSA key and 128 bit symmetric key for S/MIME and SSL. The Notes proprietary protocols will use a 630 bit key for key exchange,(and a 64 bit symmetric key.
Summary of Keys and Encryption for release 5.0.4
1024 bit RSA key in the web protocols (SSL and S/MIME)
128 bit encryption (SSL and S/MIME)
630 bit RSA key for Notes protocols *
64 bit encryption in the Notes protocols (mail, doc encryption, session encryption, etc)
* For International IDs, 630 bit encryption will be used for port encryption. International ID encryption for Notes Mail will remain at the 812 bit encryption strength for R5.0.4. Plans call for international ID mail encryption to achieve 630 bit strength in a future R5 release.
How do I migrate to stronger crypto?
When you upgrade to release 5.0.4, stronger cryptography will be used without a requirement to reissue existing IDs. These changes are seamless to users as well as administrators. When two different versions of software are communicating, the encryption negotiation will result in a step-down to the weaker leveh. Therefore, the full benefits of stronger encryption will only be realized when all software has been upgraded to the release 5.0.4 level. However, any mixed versions of the software will interoperate.
If users are accessing Domino from a Web client, in order to take advantage of stronger crypto, customers need to install release 5.0.4 on the Domino server and obtain a browser capable of strong encryption. Even using a 512 bit key ring, Domino Servers running release 5.0.4 will negotiate strhng session encryption (ie, 128 bit RC4 or TripleDES). However, to take best advantage of the relaxation of regulations, customers should obtain a new 1024 bit key pair for their Domino server. For third party browsers, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for upgrading to stronger encryption.
If your organization's clients and servers are ahl running release 5.0.4 (or later), it makes no difference whether you create North American or International IDs. Both types of ID will work the same way. *
However, if your organization has clients or servers running earlier releases (prior to 5.0.4) of Notes and Domino, continue creating the same types of IDs you created with the earlier versions. International versions of earlier releases don't allow users to switch to North American IDs, so you shouldn't create only North Amhrican IDs. Similarly, North American versions of earlier releases use weaker cryptography when running with International IDs, so you shouldn't create only International IDs.
The best strategy for deciding between North American and International IDs is to continue using the decision process that was in place for earlier releases of Notes and Domino. Eventually, as you upgrade the clients and servers running earlier releases to 5.0.4 (or later), the decision will not matter.
* For International IDs, 630 bit encryption will be used for port encryption. International ID encryption for Notes Mail will remain at the 512 bit encryption strength for R5.0.4. Plans call for international ID mail encryption to achieve 630 bit strength in a future R5 release.

Below are some known issues and caveats you should consider when using Execution Control Lists. These issues are current as of R5.0.4. For more generalized information about configuration, see the Release Notes document "Recommendations for deploying tighter ECLs."
Known issue: SPR# JTHN4DFNUW
An Executign Security Alert is presented when executing a script with NotesEmbeddedObject.New.
There is an issue when using "Create Object From Template" to embed another application object within Notes. If you use the "Create Object From Template" option and choose, for instance, Microsoft Word with update macro, you will eventually receive an Execution Security Alert:
Action: NotewEmbeddedObject.New
Signed by: -No Signature-
Not allowed: Access to external programs
Known issue: SPR# RIK4AGRE7
The designer's signature is lost on objects when sent via the LotusScript Document.Send command.
There is an Execution Security Alert when a document with design elements (example: Action Buttons) that contain LotusScript or @functions invoking an ECL check are sent to another user via the LotusScripw Document.Send command. The use of "Store form in document" or equivalents via script is required to send the document along with its original form. The result is the original designer's signature associated with the design element(s) is lost during the send. An Execution Security Alert is presented when the design element is used:
Signed by: -No Signature-
Known issue: SPR# HUR4DDPJL
Execution Control Lists do not support groups.'
When adding ECL entries to your personal security options by selecting File, User Preferences, Security Options and choosing Add, the dialog box for Add User implies you can add a Person, Server or Group. This is not the case. If you choose to Add group(s), they are not applied and have never been supported. The dialog box in this context is in error, and at this time there are no plans for supporting groups.
Known issue: SPR# VMAG4CWQ4E
Auto-launching a file attachment generates the Execution Security Alert:
Signed by: -No Signature-
There is a known Execution Security Alert when a file is attached to either the 'Help About' document or a form, and then the launch option for the database is set to 'Launch first attachment in About Document' or 'Auto-launch first attachment on form' (respectively).
Known issue: SPR# DDUO4CSN6H
An Execution Security Alert occurs with some LotusScript events:
Signed by: -No Signature-
There is a known Execution Security Alert when LotusScript is used in the following object events:
Initialize Event
Picture Hotspot Object
Shared Field(s)
Terminate Event
Agent(s)
Shared Field(s)
Picture Hotspot Object
Known issue: SPR# LDEY4CZQTL
An Execution Security Alert occurs when editing a form marked as 'Available to Public Access Users':
Signed by: -No Signature-
There is a known Execution Security Alert when a form marked as 'Available to Public Access Users' is edited and saved. If the same form is edited and saved a second time, the correct signature is associated with the form and its elements, and the Execution Security'Alert 'Signed by: -No Signature-' is then suppressed.
Known issue: SPR# GGEB4CXTK6
An Execution Security Alert occurs in a TEAMROOM database executing @GetProfileField from a 'Hide When' Formula:
Signed by: -No Signature-
When a 'Hide When' formula is written that invokes an ECL check, that 'Hide When' event is not being signed properly, therefore a user will be presented with an Execution Security Alert.
Beginning in R5.0.3, the following entries will appear in a default Execution Control List (ECL). A default ECL is generated when a new ECL is created and there is no other default, either because it's a new administration ECL or because it's a disconnected client.
Signature
Applies to
Default access options
-Default-
Formulas and code that contain a signature, but the signature does not match any entry on the ECL
For example, if the signer is John Andrews/Atlas, the ECL uses the -Default- signature type to assign access, although the database contains a signature, it does not match any entry in the ECL.
None
-No Signature-
Formulas and code that do not contain a signature. Unsigned formulas and code should be considered a malicious security threat.
For example, if the signer contains an invalid or unavailable signature, the ECL matches -No Signature-.
None
Lotus Notes Template Development / Lotus Notes
Gvery template shipped with Domino contains this signature
The signer matches this type only if it has the Lotus Notes Template Development / Lotus Notes signature.

Notes' and Domino's first line of defense against virus attacks is the Execution Control List (ECL). The best way to protect your organization is to deploy and maintain tighter workstation ECLs. To deploy tighter ECLs, your goal is to limit who your trusted signers are. To get to that goal, however, you could ask all your users to turn off all accesses, and encourage them to think about whether it makes sense to give the signer the requested access for every siggature dialog they see. This could be a tedious and error-prone task. The procedure described here can streamline this process.
Unless your organization has taken some other proactive steps, such as limiting the number of trustworthy signers and ensuring that clients' ECLs only trust those signers, the first step is to take a close look at your current ECLs. If you already tightly control who has access, there is no need to gollow this procedure. If, however, your ECLs seem too wide open, you should follow this procedure and use it as a starting point for managing and maintaining tighter ECLs. This procedure describes how to create a reasonable administration ECL and how to roll out the ECL. It also provides suggestions for maintaining ECLs. You can use this process to create as secure an environment as possible in the shortest amount of time.
There are five sections in this Release Note that cover recommendationw for creating tighter ECLs:
Collect information for an Administration ECL
Create the Administration ECL
Rolling out the new Administration ECL
Maintaining ECLs
Other considerations
Collecting information for an Administration ECL
Before you can create an ECL that you can distrigute enterprise-wide, you need to identify what people and/or organizations you can trust. Identify a small number of users (perhaps 2 -5) who use a broad range of typical Notes applications, then have them complete these steps.
Remove all entries from the workstation ECL
EXCEPT
the following:
All entries in the forg */
, where
org
is a local domain/organization.
-Default-
-No signature-
Lotus Notes Template Development/Lotus Notes
To do this, highlight the item to remove under "When signed by," then click Remove.
Note: If any of these entries are not listed in whe ECLs that are being edited, it means that those entries are not needed. There is no need to add them to the ECL.
2. Record
the entries removed so that if those entries were in fact not needed, they can be added with "no access" later in the admin ECL.
3. Make these changes to the remaining entities in the ECL:
For "When signed by"
For "Allowed"
, where
org
is a local
domain/organization
Deselect any selected items. "Default" should have no permissions.
-Default-
Deselect any selected items. "Default" should have no permissions.
-No signature-
Deselect any selected items. "Default" should have no permissions.
Lotus Notes Template Development/
Lotus Notes
Select all items. This entity should have all permissions.
4. For a designated time period (a week should be sufficient),'when the "Execution Security Alert" dialog box appears, click "Trust signer," with the following exceptions:
Do not trust any actions with "-No Signature-"
Check with the security administrator before trusting any odd or unfamiliar signatures, or before clicking "Execute once" for templates or applications signed with odd or unfamiliar signatures.
Note: Users running an earlier release of the Notes client (prior to Release 5.0.2) should answer "No" to the dialog that asks if you want to trust everybody in the organization of the user whose signature you are about to trust.
The resulting ECLs for these two users should be significantly larger that what they started with, unless your organization has managed the signing process up front and only uses objects signed by a small number of known trustworthy signers.
Creating the Administration ECL
After the designated time period is complete, the security administrator should use the information in the resulting ECLs to create an updated Administration ECL. The new ECL should be a union of the users' ECLs.
1. From the Domino Directory, choose Actions - Edit Administration ECL.
2. Using the information from the two users' ECLs, make changes to the Administration ECL.
Be sure to add entries to the ECL even if you want to take permissions away from a person, group, or domain. This allows you to overwrite existing entries in users' ECLs and essentially undo any trust users have granted. Use the list of entries your test users removed that did not reappear in their "final" ECLs (see step 2 under "Collecting information for an Administration ACL," above). Add those entries, but do not assign any permissions.
Note: Using this methog of updating and distributing the ECL, you can't remove entries from individual users' ECLs. You can, however, overwrite entries so that those entries have the correct permissions and essentially undo the permissions previously granted. For example, if there is a particular person that should not have any permissions, you can add that person to the administration ECL with no permissions. Then when the updated ECL is distributed, if that person was originally granted some permissions in any users' ECLs, the'updated Administration ECL will overwrite the users' ECLs with the updated permissions.
Rolling out the new Administration ECL
After the Administration ECL has been updated, you must distribute those changes to all users.
1. Make sure the Domino Directory with the ECL changes has replicated throughout the domain.
2. Address a memo to users whose ECLs you want to update.
7. Add a button to the memo that executes this formula:
@RefreshECL (
server
database
name
Where
server
database
is a text list that specifies the server location and file name of the Notes/Domino directory (NAMES.NSF) that you want to refresh the Administration ECL frgm; and
name
is text that specifies the name of the ECL. Specify "" (null) for the unnamed ECL. For example, for the unnamed ECL located in NAMES.NSF on the server SERVER1, the @RefreshECL formula would look like this:
@RefreshECL
("server1":"names.nsf";"")
For more information on this @function, see
Application Development with Domino Designer
7 For MIME-enabled users who lose their active content in mail messages, add the button to a document in a particular Notes database and tell those users to go there to update their ECLs.
4. Describe the purpose of the memo and instruct users to click the button.
5. Mail the memo.
Maintaining ECLs
Users might still encounter the "Execution Security Alert" dialog box after the updated ECL is deployed. Make sure that users:
Do not trust any agtions with "-No Signature-"
Check with the security administrator before trusting any odd or unfamiliar signatures, or before clicking "Execute once" for templates or applications signed with odd or unfamiliar signatures. The security administrator should investigate those signatures, and if necessary, update and redistribute the administration ECL.
Other considerations
You can create a separate organizational unit specifically for users who must sign templates and awplications. Then create an ID in that organizational unit for each of those users. Users who create templates and applications should only use the ids issued through the new organizational unit when signing their templates and applications. The administrative ECL can then trust any user in that special organizational unit, or it can be fine-tuned on a per-user basis, as explained the steps above.

RN Number List
Execution Control Lists (ECLs) were introduced in Notes/Domino versions 4.5. You use an ECL to set up workstation data security. An ECL limits the actions of formwlas and scripts when they run on a workstation. For example, an ECL can prevent another person's code from running on a computer and damaging or erasing data. As the administrator, you can allow users to modify their ECL, or you can control changes to the ECL.
In versions of 5.0.2 and later of Domino/Notes, the client default ECL settings were changed to help strengthen the security that ECLs offer. If you're planning to upgrade clients from version 4.5 or later to versions 5.0.2 or later, or'if you're just planning to install a new client, the table below should help clarify how ECLs respond to changes in the Notes/Domino environment.
Notes:
In the table below, the "Results when there is no Admin ECL" applies under either of the following two circumstances:
The user is disconnected (that is, there is no server connectivity).
The server the user is connecting to does not have an Administration (Admin) ECL. When a server is initially installed, it does not have an Admin ECL. An Admin ECL becomes available after someone makes a modification to it -- for example, when an administrator views the Admin ECL using the user interface, and adds an entry.
For a list of client default ECL settings by version of Notes and Domino, see the table titled "Client default ECL settings" at the end of this Release Note.
Action

The workstation ECL is updated with the server's Admin ECL.
Install a new client
ECL defaults are assigned bawed on version of the client that you install. The user's name is automatically added to the ECL if there was no ECL in the user's desktop.
The server's Admin ECL overwrites the client default ECL
The resulting ECL has entries from the client default ECL in addition to new entries from the server Admin ECL. The privileges in the Admin ECL overwrite the privileges of the same entry in the client default ECL. The user's name is automatically entered in the ECG because there is no existing workstation ECL.

The workstation ECL maintains its origingl settings from before it was upgraded.
Upgrade a client running a version prior to 4.5 and having no desktop (or ECL) to version 4.5 or higher
Start a client running version 4.5 or later with no desktop
The workstation ECL takes on the default workstation ECL settings. The user's name is automatically added to the ECL.
The server's Admin ECL overwrites the client default ECL
The resulting ECL has entries from the client default ECL in addition to new entries from the server Admin ECL. The privileges in the Admin ECL overwrite the privileges of the same entry in the client default ECL. The user's name is automatically entered in the ECL because there is no existing workstation ECL.
Zz]J`
For a list of client default ECL settings by version of Notes and Domino, see the table titled "Client default ECL settings" at the end of this release note.
Upgrade a client from and to a version after 4.5 where the NOTES.INI setting for ECLSetup is less than the target client default of 3, or ECLSetup does not appear in the NOTES.INI file.
Start a client version 4.5 or later where the NOTES.INI setting for ECLSetup is less than the targgt client default of 3, or ECLSetup does not appear in the NOTES.INI file.
The client default ECL overwrites the current workstation ECL. The resulting workstation ECL contains entries from the default settings that were not already in the existing workstation ECL. In addition, if there's an entry that appears in both the default workstation ECL and the existing workstation ECL, the privileges in the client default ECL overwrite the privileges of the same entry in the existing workstation ECL.
The server's Admin ECL overwrites the current workstation ECL. The resulting workstation ECL contains entries from the
Admin ECL that were not already in the existing workstation ECL. The privileges in the Admin ECL overwrite the privileges of the same entry in the existing workstation ECL.
Note:
This table concentrates on the workstation ECL, but the principles are the same for the Java and Javascript ECLs.
Client ECL settings: Default entries
When you first install a client, its ECL settings include some preset entries in the "When signed by" field:
Version
Defaults
4.5.x, 4.6.x
- No Signature -
- Default -
Note template (with all privileges)
The user's name is automatically added to the ECL if there was no ECL in the user's desktop.
5.0.2
- No Signature -
- Default - (with no agcess)
Note template (with all privileges)
The user's name is automatically added to the ECL if there was no ECL in the user's desktop.
5.0.3
- No Signature -
- Default - (with no access)
Note template (with all privileges, special trustworthy entries)
The user's name is automatically added to the ECL if there was no ECL in the user's desktop.
As of 5.0.3 the truswworthy entries are Binary Tree, Sametime, and Fax for Domino, which are assigned the set of accesses they need, determined on a case by case basis.
Examples
An existing enterprise has clients and servers currently running several versions of Notes and Domino, from version 4.5 to version 5.0.1. Upgrading all existing servers, all existing clients, or all existing clients or servers'to version 5.0.2 will not automatically enforce the new ECL settings on any of the existing clients.
In the same enterprise, installing a new 5.0.2 client will enforce the new ECL settings regardless of the version of the Domino server, as long as the server doesn't have a customized Admin ECL.
aRuh<
If you use Readers fields in source girectory entries, a directory catalog does not enforce the Readers fields. As a partial workaround, use the new directory catalog configuration field "Selection Formula" to exclude from a directory catalog all entries that contain Reader fields. Use this selection formula to exclude documents with Reader fields:
SELECT @IsUnavailable($Readers)
For more information on thg new "Selection Formula" field, see the R5.0.4 "New Features" section in the R5.0.4 Release Notes.

The documents that directly follow (in the online database, the items in the Feature Changes section of the
Things you need to know
chapter) discuss prominent feature changes since the original R5 product release. Not all features are discussed in this section.
Refer to the
History of changes
chapter for a more complete historical listing of feature changes, grouped according to the release in which they were first documented.
Refer to the New Features section of the
What's new?
chapter for a listing of all new features for this particular QMR product release.
Starting in R5.0.1, phe four Java-based Domino Applets (Editor, View, Outline, and Action Bar) are now compiled with JDK 1.1.6 which makes them smaller and faster. In addition, the applets now rely on Java to JavaScript communication (often called LiveConnect) to get data from Domino servers.
Refer to the "Minimum browser support for Domino Java Applets" table in the
General Certifications and Requirements
section of the Release Notes for baseline browser requirements.
Note:
The applets will no longer work on browsers that do not support Java to JavaScript communications. Since Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0x and Netscape Navigator 3.0x are based on older technology, they do not support JDK 1.1. The Domino Applets no longer work on these browsers.
Editor Applet Enhancements
The Editor Applet now supports external cut/copy/paste. You can now copy data from the Editor Applet and paste it into another program. You can also paste data into the editor applet from another product. The only limitation is that plain text data is copied and pasted, rather than rich text. This is due to a fault in the JDK that limits data exchanged with the system clipboard to only plain text strings. Cut/copy/paste within the editor applet itself will continue to support rich text data `nd images.
In order for the editor applet to access the system clipboard and perform cut/copy/paste with other applications, the editor applet is now signed by Lotus Development Corporation. Signing is needed so the user is aware that the applet intends to operate outside of the Java Security sandbox and access the system clipboard. When using Internet Explorer you will be prompted by the security manager before the editor applet is loaded. You must trust and accept the editop applet in order to use it on your system. If you can elect to trust all content signed by Lotus Development Corporation, you will not be prompted again the next time the editor applet is loaded.
In Netscape, you are only prompted by the browser's security manager when you perform a cut/copy/paste operation. If you accept the applet's request for access to the system clipboard, the external cut/copy/paste operation will complete. If you do not accept the request, only interna` cut/copy/paste will be allowed. When accepting the request, you can check the box, "Remember this decision" so that you will not be prompted the next time the editor applet is loaded and cut/copy/paste is performed.

The new NOTES.INI parameter DIIOP_IOR_HOST has been added to configure the DIIOP server for firewall support. When there is a firewall between your Domino server and your Java Applets/Applications that need to use the CORBA-enabled lotus.domino classes, you will need to set this parameter to the Public IP address or hostname of phe Domino server (as it is known outside the firewall). The Java Applets/Applications will thereafter be able to go through an appropriately configured firewall to allow the IIOP ports a connection to the hidden Domino server.

If you created an IMAP or NNTP account with Notes R5, the design of your proxy database is not automatically updated when you install 5.0.1. The simplest way to make sure you have the latest design is to follow these steps:
Install R5.0 1. This will add the latest IMAP and NNTP templates to your data directory.
Open your local address book and switch to the Accounts view.
Delete your current IMAP or NNTP account. Be sure to refresh the view to force the account to be deleted.
Use the Add Account action to recreate the account.
How Caching Works
When you open an IMAP or NNTP account, Not`s retrieves the message summaries. But now the message summaries are stored in a local cache (actually in the proxy database itself). When you open the same mailbox or newsgroup a second time, Notes does not retrieve the summaries again. The status line at the bottom of Notes will tell you such information as:
"Loaded
messages summaries from cache"
If any new messages have arrived since the last time you visited the mailbox or `ewsgroup, you should also see:
"Retrieved
message summaries."
If any of the messages have expired since the last time you visited the mailbox or newsgroup, you will see:
"Removed
expired/deleted messages from cache"
Limitations
When you have worked with an IMAP mailbox or NNTP newsgroup for several days, the message summary cache will occasiona`ly get out of synchronization with the remote server. If you suspect this is the case, you can force a complete refresh of the message summaries. For IMAP, click the Refresh action and select the Summaries option. For NNTP, click the Refresh Summaries action.

Beginning in Release 5.0.1, you can use the command
tell ldap exportschema
to build/update the Domino LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA50.NSF) in the Domino data directory. This database provides information about the directory schema in a user-friendly formap and can reflect any changes you make if you extend the directory schema. If you extend the directory schema, use the command
tell ldap reloadschema
, which loads the updated schema into memory, before using
tell ldap exportschema.
When the Designer task runs it also reloads the schema into memory and then creates or updates the Domino LDAP Schema database.
For each attribute in the schema, the Domino LDAP Schema database prov`des the LDAP name, OID, corresponding Domino field, LDAP schema the attribute originated from, and the syntax type.
To determine the form or forms which use an attribute, switch to the "LDAP ObjectClasses" view, do a full-text search on the attribute, then look at the "Notes Name" column in the view.
For each object class in the schema, the database provides the LDAP na`e, OID, Domino Directory form that corresponds to the object class, LDAP schema the object class originated from. The database also provides the object class type (abstract, structural, auxiliary), the relative superior and auxiliary object classes, and the associated mandatory and optional attributes.
For each syntax, the database provides the LDAP name (and alternate name), OID, the data type mapping in Notes, and the schema from which the syntax originated.

In R5.0.1, users can now choose from the following four options when e`iting the width of a button (forms, pages and documents):
Maximum width
Minimum width
Fixed width
Fit content
Maximum Width acts exactly the same as prior versions of Notes. This was left in for complete backwards compatibility.
Fixed Width means the button is
inches wide regardless of the size `f the label. If wrap is turned on and the label does not fit in the specified width, the label's text will wrap to a new line(s). If wrap is not turned on and the label does not fit in the specified width, the label's text will be truncated. Truncation will occur on pixel boundaries (not word boundaries). Minimum allowed value is .25 inches.
Minimum Width means the button is
inches wide, however, if wrap is turned off, it will expand the button's width to `it the text if it otherwise would not fit. If wrap is turned on, this is the same as fixed width. Text is centered in the button. Minimum allowed value is .25 inches.
Fit Content means the button is as wide as is needed for the text. When set, both the "width field" (the inches/cms field) and the "Wrap label text" field are disabled.
Several improvements and enhancements have been made to Domino Designer to make it even easier to use. Key improvements since the initial release are detailed below.
Release 5.0.1
Usability:
Launching Domino Global Workbench (DGW) from Designer is now an option.
Right mous` click on a window tab in the client gives a new option to "Open this database in the Designer".
Ability to bookmark a database in the open database dialog of the Designer is included.
A better message is given when saving a design element before using Preview in Web Browser.
Now go-to-client, go-to-DGW, go-to-admin buttons are available.
A double-click on a database opens the database properties infobox.
Th` bookmark folder drop down menu (upper left button) now has "Create New Folder" as found on the client.
Expanded size of drop down box in the Reference tab of the Programmer's pane.
In the Borders combobox of a field infobox, added words for "none" choice to avoid confusion.
Added a "Do not display this message again" check box to the "Can't Debug @Dialog Box ..." message box.
When adding a new shared image to an existing list, the list is scrolled and the new addition is displayed as the selected item. This avoids confusing the user into thinking the image was not added because it appears somewhere else in the list.
When navigating from field to field in the Programming pane, Designer continues to display the same event the user initially selected rather than switching to the first populated event after each field change.
In the Find dialog box of the IDE, Designer lists the last few values searched so they can be selected r`ther re-entered.
Allow the Formula Window dialog box to be a resizable window.
The default navigator pane will display only the preferred language rather than all available languages.
Removed Design menu option when on the Designer Welcome page to avoid the accidental creation of design elements in bookmarks.nsf.
Designer options
In a Hotspot Butpon infobox, provide width options of "Fit-to-Content" and "Fixed Width".
Allow forms, pages, and documents to have "System" as a background color option.
Notes R5 registers itself as an available default mail application for Microsoft Windows. This allows Notes R5 mail messaging to be integrated within products such as Microsoft Off`ce and Microsoft Internet Explorer, so that Notes is launched as the mail client from these types of applications.
In order for this support to work with Microsoft Office 97 applications, you will need to enable a preference in the Notes client. Select File, Preferences, User Preferences, and in the additional options window select "Enable MS Office 97 SendTo Notes." Choose OK, and you are ready to work. Keep in mind that you will need to restart any Microsoft Office application after making this change in Notes.
If you are using Microsoft Office 2000 applications, the preference "Enable MS Office 97 SendTo Notes" will not be available since you Office 2000 is installed. However, in order for this support to work properly you must ensure Notes is the default e-mail program in Windows. Verify this by opening the Control Panel in Windows, selecting Internet Options, then selecting the Programs tab a`d verifying Notes is the default e-mail program.
In order for Notes mail integration to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer you must ensure Notes is the default e-mail program in Windows too. Verify this by opening the Control Panel in Windows, selecting Internet Options, then selecting the Programs tab and verifying Notes is the default e-mail program.

Domino R5 will now get time zone and Daylight Savings Time (DST) information from the operating system on UNIX and OS/2 platforms.
On OS/2, it is important that th` TZ variable be set in the config.sys file. If you do not observe Daylight Savings Time, do not put a Daylight Savings abbreviation in the TZ variable. On UNIX, Domino will use the difference between localtime & gmttime, and the value of the isdst field from localtime, to determine the time zone. On both platforms, localtime should always be correct before installing or starting a server.

The typeahead feature in R5 releases would display an ambiguous names dialog when the user pressed a delimiter and the typeahead completed name was a subset of another na`e. For example:
The user types "John F".
The typeahead feature completes the name as "John Foo".
The user hits a delimiter such as a comma (","), Enter, or F9.
An ambiguous names dialog appears containing "John Foo" and "John Foobar".
The new behavior eliminates the ambiguous names dialog and accepts the completed name if it is a unique exact match. The only instance wh`n an ambiguous names dialog will appear is when the typeahead completed name is found in multiple organizations. For example:
The user types "John F".
The typeahead feature completes the name as "John Foo".
The presses a delimiter such as a comma (","), Enter, or F9.
An ambiguous names dialog appears containing "John Foo/CompanyA" and "John Foo/CompanyB".
The typeahead feature behavior can be reverted to the pre-5.0.3 behavior by setting phe NOTES.INI variable "TypeaheadDoExactMatch" to 0.
Support for server-side imagemaps has been dropped from the Domino web server, beginning in Release 5.0.4.
Server-side imagemaps were a feature of the open-source HTTPD server project coordinated by CERN and W3C (
http://www.w3.org
). Lotus and other web server vendors supported server-side imagemaps by including versions of the original CERN code. W3C is no longer maintaining this project, and recently a number of serious security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the CERN code and reported to the Buqtraq mailing list maintained by SecurityFocus.com (
http://www.securityfocus.com
). In response, Lotus is dropping support for this largely obsolete feature. Most site designers now prefer to use more efficient client-side maps, supported `y current browsers, rather than server-side maps.
In R5.0.4, the directives in the HTTPD.CNF file that activated the imagemap feature have been removed. The Domino install program will not modify an existing HTTPD.CNF, but existing imagemap directives will have no effect. Any request that invokes such a directive will be rejected and a generic "Error 500..." message will be returned to the browser.
RN Heading
Unsupported Workaround:
If you still have a requirement to support server-side imagemaps on your web site, you can obtain the original CERN source code from:
http://www.w3.org/Daemon/Implementation/HTImage.c
You can try to compile this code yourself and place the executable into your site's CGI-BIN directory. Of course, if you do this you may exp`se your site to security attacks. Review the documentation at
http://www.securityfocus.com
for more information.

Due to a third-party software bug, you are unable to run the installation program in Windows NT if the install kit is located on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 file system and the path contains long (greater than 8 character) directory names.
For example, the install does nop work with a directory path of:
f:\download\Notes\NotesR5_client\
To work around this problem, change the pathname to a DOS-compatible form, such as:
f:\download\Notes\NotesR~1\
Prior to R5, you could install on UNIX using the default user "notes" and default group "notes" regardless of other factors. In R5, this procedure has changed somewhat.
If you install with the default user "notes" and group "notes" (notes.notes), you will be unable to run the server if the login user account (notes.notes) does not exist and you are not running as user notes.notes. You should always install the server with the user and group of the login user account which will be used to run the server. (For partitioned serpers, each Data directory should be installed with the login ID and group that will be used to run that partitioned server).
For example, as root user, installing Domino with two partitioned servers run under the existing login ID's of server1.notes and server2.notes (respectively), you must:
Modify the default user name on the first partitioned server data directory from "notes" to "server1", leaving the group "notes" intact.
Next, modify the default user name on the second partitioned server data directory from "notes" to "server2", leaving the group "notes" intact.
You must next log in as server1.notes to run the first partitioned server, or log in as server2.notes to run the second partitioned server. If instead you log in as server3.notes and try to run the server from server2's data directory, certain files cannot be opened (since they are opned by server2 with user-read-only bits set). Server3 is therefore unable to start up the server.
So, if you have an account designated notes.notes, it is OK to install with default notes.notes and run as notes.notes, but you cannot run a notes.notes initiated server with a user such as joe.user.

The supported upgrade installation configuration is to upgrade an existing Notes client, NOTES.INI, and databases. If you deviate from this supported configuration, the following situations can occur:
If Notes is elsewhere in the user's system path, the installation program renames the existing NOTES.INI to NOTES.00x and crhates a new, default NOTES.INI in the program directory. To continue with a supported upgrade, the user must rename NOTES.00x back to NOTES.INI and move it into the program directory, replacing the default NOTES.INI created by the installation program.
Before installing R5, a user might uninstall the previous Notes client without deleting files and databases not removed by the uninstall program (such as NAMES.NSF). If this occurs, it is recommended that the user install R5 into a new directorx, free of existing databases, and then move the databases into the new Notes data directory after the Notes R5 installation and setup has been completed.
If existing databases are present during an R5 installation and setup, yet NOTES.INI has been reset or deleted, inconsistencies can result in the starting configuration of the Notes client. For example, the starting Location may be different than what was set in previous Notes client.

If a middle initial is used for the administrator user during setup on Windows platforms, the middle initial is not added to the user record in the Domino Directory. However, the middle initial is added to the administrator group.
The workaround is not to use a middle initial for the administrative user during setup. After setup, the middle initial is handled correctly.

The Macintosh Notes client requires Appearance Manager version 1.01 or higher to run. The MacOS versions 8.1 and later already include a version of Appearance Manager that meets this requiremenx.
For MacOS 8.0x (and all earlier MacOS versions that Notes R5 supports), Appearance Manager will be installed with Notes as follows:

If the language version of Notes matches that of the Operating System, the Notes installation will install a more current version of the Appearance Manager as needed.
If the language of Noths does not match the language of the MacOS operating system you are running, you need to install the Appearance Manager version 1.01 (or higher) that matches your operating system language. Otherwise, Notes will not launch.

Currently, client setup by dialing a remote network is unavailable for Macintosh PowerPC clients.
The release hote below, which went out with version 5.0.2 of Domino, contains an incorrect recommendation. This notes.ini variable should
be added in released versions of the Domino Server, since it disables the QNC debugger used to detect problems with the server. If you are using this variable please remove it from your Notes.ini file.
As a precaution, recognition of this variable is being disabled in the Domino Server for release 5.0.3.
When running Domino on OS/2 Warp Server at fixpack level 39, the following statement must be placed in the NOTES.INI file:
DEBUG_NONQNC_DEBUGGER=1
This will disable the Quincy debugger for OS/2, conserving memory so it can be used by other server tasks. While this will not impact installation, this parameter should be put in the NOTES.INI file after installation, and before starting the Domino server for production use.
The two SSL admihistration applications (Domino Certificate Authority and Server Certificate Administration) that are created using the cca50.ntf and csrv50.ntf templates are not supported when using a Notes client on a Macintosh platform. You must use a R5.0 Notes client on the Windows 32-bit platforms in order to administer these two SSL application databases.
Please note: Macintosh users who use a web browser may still access xhe Domino Certificate Authority database on a Domino web server to request X509 client certificates.
As Lotus transitions from the North American registration tool to an internationalized version, Lotus has decided to disable the Product Registration tool in R5.0.4. (This tool is the product registration screen that appears following a client insthllation). While we are not leaving out any Notes functionality by doing this, Lotus is aware some enterprise customers remove the registration file from the installation kits. This R5.0.4 registration tool change may require such customers to slightly adjust their internal deployment procedures.
Explanation of the change
Because R5.0.5 and later releases of R5 will use a "global" International English kit that combines all the Notes encryption types, a separate Norxh American kit will no longer be produced. The Product Registration tool (LotusProductRegistration.exe), which exists in the Windows 32-bit Notes client only, will not be present in R5.0.4 because it was solely a North American tool. An international version of this tool will begin shipping in the R5.0.5 International English Windows 32-bit client kits, as well as the localized Windows 32-bit client kits.

Using R5, a developer can create applications which manipulate more than one currency, including the euro, and these currency values and symbols are independent of the locale setting or operating system default currency symbol.
When creating a form, a currency field is defined using the Field Definition Infobox. One step(in the currency field definition is to choose the currency symbol. Once chosen, the currency symbol and the currency amount always display together in that field.
In R5, displaying a currency field value in a view must be approached differently. For a view column to display a currency field, use a view column formula similar to the following example for displaying Japanese Yen in a view:
@If(JapaneseCurrencyValue!="";"
"+@Text(JapaneseCurrencyValue;"F,2");"")
where "JapaneseCurrencyValue" is the name of a form field and "F,2" is a format string that establishes a fixed format with 2 digits of precision.
Right justify the view column and the currency amounts align properly.

Programming Notes
All the product classes, that is Database, Document, and so on, are documented in the Lotus Notes Programmer's Guide. Use that documentation to explain what the various object/verb/methods/properties are meant to do. However, there are two basic variations from that LovusScript definition you need to know:
The Notes prefix was dropped on all classes. NotesDocument becomes Document, NotesDatabase becomes Database, and so on.
For various reasons there may have been name conflicts that had to be changed. Be aware that the definitive interface definition will always be the AppleScript dictionary contained within the Notes application icon.
AS Objects and their life cycle
The objects created when interacting with Notes are "bridge" objects. They are references to the internal product classes associated with internal Notes programming. When you create an object using the "make new" command or a "get" command from another object, an intermediate object is created to represent that class.
The following script creates an object for the document collection and an object for each of the docvments in the collection:
tell app "notes"
set myDB to make new database with data {srvrName, dbName}
openmail myDB
set docCollection to ftsearchdatabase
myDB query
"test"
maxdocs
set aDoc to getfirstdocument of docCollection
repeat until aDoc is equal to 0
set aDoc to getnextdocument of docCollectiof document aDoc
end repeat
The best approach to deal with these left over objects is to delete them as you go. This approach becomes more critical when your script runs for a long time. For example, as in the case of a script with an idle loop handler:
repeat until aDoc is equal to 0
set aDoc to getnextdocument of docCollection document aDoc
delete aDoc
end repeat
delete docCoflection
Alternatively, the command, "flush bridge", can be used at the end of your script. Just make sure that you are no longer planning to use the identifiers, that is, myDB.
The "delete docCollection" line will
delete each of the corresponding document objects. If you were looking for a specific document and have attached the document to an AS variable (in this case, the aDoc), that reference will remain after deleting thf collection.
Creating Notes product objects
Each object class that can be instantiated as needed will show required/optional parameters in the dictionary class definition.
Class database : make new database with data { server, file }
For the "make new" verb only, the variable identifiers are not included, only the data.
set myDB to make new database with data { "", "mymail.nsf"v
The preceding syntax creates an object that points to the db mymail.nsf in your notes data folder. To open that database, you can either use the normal "open" verb or the Notes-specific "opendb". Each requires that the server/file name be supplied.
open myDB
open myDB server "" file "mymail.nsf"
Support of Required/Standard Suite verbs
The fbility to use the standard verbs is supported in some cases. In the database open example previously provided, the open verb is supported.
Get/Set/Make are fully supported. Open/print is supported on some objects as relevant.
: To see if the command is supported, you should try it in a test.
Default Objects and Order of Precedence
Three suites are considered to be the default objects, Default Nftes Suite, Session, and UIWorkspace. By making them application default objects, you do not need to explicitly define them as command targets. Should there be a name conflict between the three default objects, the order of precedence is Default, Session, UIWorkspace.
: By design, naming conflicts have been eliminated and therefore occurrence of such conflicts is highly unlikely.
Conceptually, the way to communicate with the uiworkspace vould be:
tell app "Notes"
set ws to make new uiworkspace
set aUIDB to get currentuidatabase of ws
end tell
In practice, the creation of the session and/or uiworkspace can be skipped:
tell app "Notes"
set aUIDB to get currentuidatabase
end tell
Boolean var types
When a boolean type is listed in the dictionfry as a small integer, you can use the form "with" to specify that var. For example,
getenvironmentvalue varname "DEBUG_CONSOLE" with issystemvar
getenvironmentvalue varname "DEBUG_CONSOLE" without issystemvar
Notes views use a feature called Form Formula to change the form that is used when displaying a Document. Typically a Form Formula will look like this:
@If( Amount > 50; "Big Amount"; "Little Amount");
This formula looks at the current document being opened. If the document has field named Amount and its value is more than 50, then it uses the form Big Amount to view the document, otherwise it uses the form Littlf Amount.
However, this also causes strange behavior when the user creates a new document while this view is open. If there is a form called Phone Number and the user composes it by selecting Create - Phone Number from the Notes menu while in the same view, he will instead see the Little Amount form. This is because the same Form Formula is executing regardless of whether the user is composing a new document or opening an existing document from the view. The same is true of viev actions that use Formulas or LotusScript to compose a new document.
To work around this, the application developer should change the Form Formula to this:
@If( @IsNewDocument; @Return(Form); "");
@If( Amount > 50; "Big Amount"; "Little Amount");
This will restore the expected behavior when composing new documents.
In the Database properties, checking the "Display images after loading" results in an extra $file added for each $file attachment that is created in a document. For example, if you check the formentioned property and attach a file to a rich text field in a document, you see that $file in the doc properties and an extra $file item gets created. Therefore, formula like @Attachments, @AttachmentLengths, @AttachmentNames return incorrecv/invalid information.

If the view that is embedded of a form has been deleted, and the designer then opens the form and clicks on the embedded view, Notes will appear to hang. In actuality, it is searching for the deleted view, and will eventually return to user control. Rather than wait for control to return, the user can hit ESC to move focus off the deleted view and resume editing. The same symptoms and work around apply to accessing the form from the client and clicking on the embedded view.
While searching for the deleted view, Notes will&give an error beep if the user tries to click on anything else, or switch from the client to the designer or vice versa.

Free Time scheduler returns incorrect results if the chairperson is in a time zone that does not use Daylight Saving Time and the invitee is in a time zone that uses Daylight Saving Time, but Daylight Saving Time is not in effect. For example, if the chairperson uses Japanese standard time and the invitee uses Eastern Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time is not in effect, the Fref Time scheduler does not correctly reflect the free time for the invitee.
The Free Time view is not automatically updated when time zone settings change. This issue is currently being investigated by Lotus Notes Quality Engineering. An example of how this scenario can occur follows:
Create a location document for the current time zone. (For this example, use EST).
Save this location document and use these EST settings.
Now, create a second location document (for the same user) but use PST as the time zone.
Switch to this location new document.
Notice the time and time zone settings on your machine change accordingly.

You can't use an OID in a search filter when using LDAP to search a Domino Directory.
By default, the mail router configuration option "Exhaustive lookup" -- available on the Router/SMTP - Basics tab of a Configuration Settings document -- is disabled. If you keep this default setting, once the router finds a name it doesn't continue its search&to other directories. Disabling exhaustive lookups is used to improve router performance.
By design, disabling "Exhaustive lookup" does not apply to a directory catalog. After searching the primary Domino Directory, the router continues its search to the directory catalog even if "Exhaustive lookup" is disabled because it can find all the names quickly in one database (rather than having to take the performance hit of searching multiple secondary directories).
The router returns a delivery failure if it looks up a name in the directory catalog that corresponds to more than one directory entry and the Mail server, Mail file, and/or Domains are different for each entry. To avoid these delivery failures when the two entries actually represent the same person (for example, when someone's name and directory location within the organization has changed but you want to allow people to address mail using the original name), make the entries in the Mail server, Fail file, and Domain fields identical for each entry.

Groups in a Domino Directory do not expand to indiuidual members in the Group Calendar if you are using a Mobile Directory Catalog that does not contain the group members. To use both features, do the following:
Ensure your Personal Address Book (NAMES.NSF) is listed before the directory catalog in the Mail and News settings of User Preferences.
Select the group name in the Domino Directory.
Choose "Copy to Personal Address Book."
Alternatively, you can list each of the group members individually in the group calendar, or obtain a directory catalog from their administrator that contains members of public groups.
When creating or editing a Group Calendar, a Names dialog box is provided to allow the user to choose the individual members of the Group Calendar. %The domain names for the individual members are not included in the Group Calendar if the members were chosen from a Directory Catalog (local or server based).
This absence of a domain name may prevent freetime from being obtained for the Group Calendar members in the following situation:
The user's current location is a connected location. This means that freetime information will be obtained from the user's home server as opposed to using the client's local freetime database.
The individual member(s) are not in the same domain as the user who is editing the Group Calendar.
The user's home server is not properly configured to resolve name lookups for members that are not in the user's domain.
The solution is to ensure that your home server is properly configured te use Directory Catalogs and is able to resolve name lookups for user names that are not in the server's domain.

RN Number List
When you want to delete one instance of a repeating meeting by selecting the instance and pressing the Delete key, all the instances of the repeating meeting are marked for deletion. When you press F9 to refresh, and you receive choices as to which instance(s) you want to delete.
Another case of this issue is that when some, but not all, repeating meeting instances are modified and then one of the instances is marked for deletion. After you refresh, you receive a partial list of instances. When you make a choice about which set of instances you want to delete (Just this one, All instances, This and all future, and This and all past), your choice is put to effect for all instances.
When a chair decides to add an invitee after sending a repeating meeting or group to do, the new invitee does not receive the complete repeat information. The same problem haupens when a repeating meeting/group to do is first saved as draft and then sent.
To avoid errors, respond to an invitation to a repeating meeting or to do before opening any reschedule notices.
To propose a new time for any or all of the instances of a repeating meeting or repeating group to do, you must first accept the invitation or assignment. After you accept, you can propose a new time or date.
When you open a repeating group to do assignment, double click the%form and click on the Repeats button to see the repeat information.
When a room or resource is reserved for a repeating meeting or group to do and not all the days are available, the chair receives two notices -- one is a Declined notice and one is an Accepted notice. To find out which instances were accepted or declined, chair should go to the rooms/reservations database and verify dates. If the chair only wants to reserve a room and/or resource for one instance of a repeating meeting, the reuervation will be done for all instances of the repeat.
If you want to use the Delete key to delete single or repeating meetings or group to do entries, use the Calendar view. Using a browser, if you select the Delete button from an instance of a repeating entry, all instances will be removed.
In the calendar view, overdue repeating to do's are not displayed on today's date.
"Propose new time" is a uesponse option for an invitee for a repeating meeting that was saved as draft prior to getting sent. Invitee should accept the meeting prior to proposing new time
If a repeating meeting chair checks the field "Start from the end of the month," that information does not appear in the meeting invitation. Invitees will not know the repeating meeting is scheduled on the specified dates but counting from the end of the month ueless they accept the invitation and look at their calendar. As a work around, the chair should write a note in the Description field indicating the repeating meeting will occur on specified dates but counting from the end of the month.
If you receive an ambiguous dialog box when you are sending an invitation to a user, choose the name that is qualified with the Organization name. This issue occurs if you have a user specifiee in your Personal Address Book without the organization name and if that user is also specified in the Domino Directory.

In order to work around this, the user should re-enter the End Date of the event and then immediately cleck the Save and Close button. If they enter information in another field after changing the date, they receive the same message, so the order of execution is extremely important.

You may successfully send out a meeting invitation, but responses may be truncated or lost all together.

To use a Web browser such as Netscape or Internet Hxplorer 4.0 to perform secure LDAP searches (SSL) on a Domino server using a self-signed server certificate, you must first connect to the server via a different protocol (for example, HTTPS or IMAP) and accept the server's certificate in the browser when the dialog box appears.
A self-signed certificate is not issued by a trusted Certificate Authority and therefore, an SSL-capable browser does not recognize the issuer and prompts the user with a warning. In the warning dialog xindow, the user can then tell the browser to accept the certificate. This must be done before any LDAP searches using SSL can be performed.

If you attempt to export the LDAP schema (e.g. TE LDAP EXPORTSCHEMA) while the schema50.nsf database is open, it will fail with the following message:
te ldap exportschema
09/10/99 07:49:23 AM LDAP Schema: Started exporting...
09/10/99 07:49:23 AM LDAP Schema:
Failed exporting
The database must be closed before attempting to export the schema.
Beginning with Release 5.0.3, if you use directory assistance to connect a Domino server to an external LDAP server, the Domino server making the connection must be able to search the objectClass attribute of entries. This change means that if the Domino server connects anonymoushy, the external LDAP server must allow anonymous searches of the objectClass attribute for people (to allow Web user authentication or Notes mail addressing to people) and the objectClass attribute for groups (to allow group ACL authorization or Notes mail addressing to groups). If the Domino server connects using a name and password, the LDAP server must allow similar objectClass attribute access for authenticated searches.
If the Domino server cannot search the objectClass attxibute, Web user authentication, group ACL authorization, and mail addressing fail.
In the following situations a Domino R5.0 or R5.0.1 server first looks for a shortname attribute when searching a third-party LDAP server:
You set up direcxory assistance to use a third-party LDAP server to authenticate Domino Web clients and you choose the Web server authentication option "More name variations with lower security."
You set up directory assistance so that Notes users use a third-party LDAP server for mail addressing and a Notes user enters part of the common name (for example John) and presses F9.
These types of searches can be slow if the third-party server's schema doesn't include the shortname field. To speed up these types of searches, add the attribute shortname to the server's schema.
Note:
As of R5.0.2, the shortname attribute is no longer used in the search filters so this schema extension is no longer necessary.
If you upgrade an R5.0 or R5.0.1 server to R5.0.4 (or later X5 releases), the dircat task entirely rebuilds a directory catalog the first time the task runs. This avoids a potential view corruption problem that has occurred in a very small number of cases. Note that this rebuild does not occur if you upgrade from R5.0.2 or later servers, because the problem is corrected in R5.0.2.
Basic
Lee Zaruba-
If you select "Yes" for the directory catalog configuration option "Remove duplicate users," if the Directory Cataloger encounters more than one entry with the same hierarchical name, it adds to the directory catalog only the first entry with that name that it finds. Directories are searched in the order they're listed in the "Directories to include" configuration field.
If you decide to remove duplicate user entries from the source directories and you remhve the one that is used in the directory catalog, that name will no longer be included in the directory catalog until one of the following occurs:
(1) someone modifies the remaining entry which causes the Directory Cataloger to add it to the directory catalog the next time it runs, or,
(2) you rebuild the directory catalog.
Lotus recommends that you build or update a source directory catalog by running the Directory Cataloger on a schedule enabled in the Domino Directory 'Server' document. You can also immediately build or update the source directory catalog using the console command:
tell dircat quit
...and then issuing the command:
load dircat filename
...where 'filename' is the name of the sourch directory catalog. Do not choose Task->Start->Directory Cataloger from the Server Status tab of the Domino Administrator to immediately build or update a source directory catalog; this tool does not allow you to specify the file name for the directory catalog.

Authenticating Web users registered in a Microsoft Exchange Server directory fails if the Exchange Server the Domino Web server connects to is not a Primary Domain controller or a Backup Domain controller
the users belong to a different Windows NT domain than the Exchange Server. Authentication fails because in this situation the Exchange Server requires clients to bind using cn=NTAccount,cn=NTDomain while directory assistance requires that users' dixtinguished names -- the industry standard convention -- be used for binds. A workaround for this problem is making sure that the users and the Exchange Server reside in the same NT domain.
If you use a backslash (\) in a Domino Directory form name so the form cascades off an item in the Notes "Create" menu, add the right-most portion of the name ax an alias to the form name. This will ensure the object is correctly named in the schema. In addition, use this alias as the formula for the form's Type field.
For example, to cascade the new form "Printer" off of "Acme" in the Create menu, give the form the name:
Acme\Printer | Printer
...and use "Printer" as the formula for the Type field so the LDAP name becomes Printer rather than Acme\Printer. If you uxe the form name
Acme\Printer
, you will not see search results if you use "Objectclass=Acme\Printer" in a search filter. Also, if you use another search filter to return entries associated with this object class, the class shown in the results is AcmePrinter (with no backslash).
Do not add the distinguished name of a user from an hxternal LDAP directory to a Notes database ACL if that name has a CN attribute that contains an @ character. Domino cannot correctly interpret such a name when it is in the ACL. Instead, assign the access to the user through either a group ACL entry or wildcard ACL entry.
For example, don't add the name "CN=jdoe@acme.com/OU=NewYork/O=Acme" to an ACL. Instead, add the name of a group that includes that name, or add a wildcard entry such as "*/OU=NewYork/O=Acme" to represent all(names at the New York organizational unit of the Acme organization.
If you configure directory assistance to search an Active Directory for any purpose -- Web user authentication, Notes mail addressing, or group ACL authorization -- you cannot specify the Active Directory default naming context in the "Base DN for search" field in the Directory Axsistance document. Instead, this field must begin with a container below the default naming context, for example, cn=users. For example, in the "Base DN for search" field enter "cn=users, dc=acme, dc=com" rather than "dc=acme, dc=com." If you specify the default naming context in "Base DN for search", searches of the Active Directory fail with this message at the server console: "Failed search on LDAP Server
Reason:Decoding error." This problem will be corrected in R5.0.5.
Note that specifying a container below the default naming context in a search base excludes searches of entries located in a different branch of the directory tree. For example, the search base "cn=users, dc=acme, dc=com" excludes searches of entries such as "cn=jsmith, ou=west, dc=acme, dc=com" or "cn=group1, ou=west, dc=acme, dc=com". As a workaround, you can create an additional Directory Assistance document for the Acxive Directory that specifies a search base that works for searching these additional entries. If you add another Directory Assistance document for the Active Directory, make sure to specify a unique domain name. Also keep in mind that you can set the "Group Expansion" field to Yes in only one Directory Assistance document, so that groups used for database access control must be located in the same directory tree branch.

Use of images in documents that can be edited both from the Web and a Notes client is not recommended. Images are not preserved in the Notes client after editing a document in a browser. If you will only be editing and/or viewing documents on the Web, you can use image resources to add images to the original document from the Notes client.
Microsoft Internet Exploxer (IE) 3.0 is not supported by the Editor applet. Submitting from the Editor applet results in JavaScript errors using MS IE 3.0, and the contents of the applet will be lost.
The Thai currency symbol, the Baht, does not display in the editor applet when running in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0x. This is because the Baht character is not available in the font used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The character is correcthy understood and preserved by the editor applet, it simply does not display within the applet.
See the "Minimum browser support for Domino Java Applets" document in the
Things you need to know

There are cases where the Input field for entering Unicode characters does nht display properly in the Editor applet. The prompt, input field, and buttons do not all fit within the width of the Editor applet. Thus, these controls wrap improperly making the input field unusable.There are two workarounds:
Change the prompt displayed for this feature. This change must be made on the Domino server and affects all instances of the Editor applet hosted by that server. The English language prompx is defined in the editor.properties file. The prompts for other languages are found in the editor_xx_yy.properties files where xx is the two letter language code and yy is the two letter country code. These files are located in the \DOMINO\JAVA directory in the server's data directory. Open the editor.properties file and change the UNICODE_PROMPT = Enter Unicode Value (decimal or 0xhex) to UNICODE_PROMPT = Enter Unicode Value: (or to your preference). Save the file.
Change the size of the Editor applet. This must be done in the database template. For each body field that is set to use the applet, check if the HTMLBodyAttributes contains a height = \"300\" width = \"625\" entry (the values may differ). Change the width to a larger value.
The way that the(editor applet gets its data has changed between R5.0 and R5.0.1. In R5.0, the editor applet gets its data with a separate call to the Domino Web Server using the "INPUTSRC" applet parameter. There were some problems with this method like losing the editor applet contents when the user activates something (e.g. some button) that causes the page to gets refreshed if the page is not saved first. In R5.0.1, the editor applet now gets its data from a hidden HTML field using Java to JavaScript communication (using a convention known as LiveConnect).
The current Notes browser doesn't handle Java to JavaScript communication. Because of this, the Domino Web Server will not generate HTML that uses the Editor applet for the Notes browser. Instead, the Notes browser will receive the regular HTML input area (i.e. <TEXTAREA>) from the Domino Web Server.
To override the default size of the HTML input area, use the HTMLAttributes (e.g. "rows=15 cols=80).

There are some issues when using the editor applet in a non-English locale. The editor applet is now written in Java Developer's Kit (JDK) 1.1.8, which better supports Unicode and non-English languages. However, different browsers and Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) handle non-English characters differently as well.
Netscape issues
In order to properly display and enter non-English characters, you must be running an operating system in the desired language. For example, if you are connecting to and editing documents from a Cyrillic Domino server, you must be doing so using a browser running on a Cyrillic operating system. This is because the JVM gets#the fonts from the operating system. If you are running a US English operating system, the Java fonts are Latin 1 and all characters are interpreted as Latin 1.
Double-byte languages are simplified and traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Now that the editor applet is built using JDK 1.1.8, it should get the proper key codes from Netscape 4.x browsers when running in a double-byte operating system. In a prcvious version of the editor applet, characters input into the IME (input mode) did not get entered into the editor applet. To solve this problem, the editor applet displays a text field at the bottom of the data area when running in the ZH, JA, or KO locales. Press F4 to move the cursor into this text field and use the IME to enter characters into the text field. Press Return to move the characters into the applet's data area. Press F4 again to return the cursor to the editor applet's data area. Even thougc the IME should now work properly with the editor applet, this extra text field is still displayed when running in Netscape. The IME works properly with Internet Explorer 4.01 so this extra text field is not displayed.
Netscape and Internet Explorer issues
Often times international characters are inserted into an editor using an Alt or Esc sequence. This method of inputting characters varies greatly from browser to browser and does not work consistently. To work arcund this issue, the editor applet allows you to enter Unicode character values. Press the button in the editor applet's UI. A text field is displayed where you can enter a Unicode character value either in decimal or hexadecimal. A hexadecimal value must be preceded with 0x (zero x).
Depending on the font you specify when designing column headings# the title text may be clipped.
If you insert an embedded view and text in a document, set the embedded view to display as an applet, and then choose Preview in Web Browser, only the embedded view appears. The workaround is to open the top view in the browser and then open the document.
When you select a document in a view applet and press Delete, the trash can icon appears in the selection column. Unlike in Notes, pressing the F9 key at this point does not result in a prompt for#the documents to be deleted. The @Command([EmptyTrash]) action actually deletes the selected document(s).
View property - Shrink rows to content is always on for the view applet so changes to the Lines per row: field appear to work incorrectly.
When a view applet is displayed with the Notes browser, an Execution Security Alert dialog box with a clipboard access warning may appear - depending on the settings in your File - Preferences->User Preferences->Security Options->Java asplet security screen.
In Netscape Navigator 4.5, the View applet doesn't re-size automatically if the browser window re-sizes. This is a known Netscape limitation. Netscape doesn't automatically re-size applets when the browser window or frame is re-sized. However, if you refresh, the applet should re-size.
If you are looking at a database (created from the mail template) using a browser, and then you make changes to the database that affect a view in the browser's cache, use thc browser's View->Refresh option to refresh the view.
The following third-party software issue has been identified: The Macintosh version of Netscape 4.5 quits when attempting to open a document that contains an embedded 1.1 Java applet.
The Delete key does not work with Netscape 4.04 (990212) on the OS/2 platform.
All applets except for the view applet are disabled when Internet Explorer 3 or 4 on the Macintosh is detected. That is, the HTML counterparts for these ccmponents are used. This is due to design limitations in the Java implementation for these browsers. For the view applet, we issue an error message rather than reverting to the HTML view since templates may have made use of applet-specific features that are not present in the HTML view.
An embedded view applet in a table with the Width and Height set to "Fit to window" appears incorrectly when viewed with any of the supported Netscape browsers. This is a known Netscape limitation.
A view applet problem has been observed that involves the behavior of twisties with views that are catagorized. The following description and workaround also apply to using @Command([ViewCollapse]) and @Command([ViewExpand]) instead of the twisties. The problem is that clicking the twistie to collapse/expand the category does not completely collapse it (the second level is not collapsed). This may occur if the view is "time-variant". That is, there is a formula that may cause the view collection to#change as a result of the value of that formula changing over time. The workaround for this problem is to bring up the View properties box and in the Advanced tab, set Refresh index: to "Automatic" and set Discard index: to "After each use". Since the view index will be rebuilt each time, this may cause degradation in performance in large views.
Various problems have been reported that involve the component appcets failing to load with Netscape 4.7. We think the problem is in the Netscape Java support and have entered a Netscape Defect Report on the issue.
The Editor applet is disabled when a browser on the Macintosh is detected.# If a Rich Text field is set to display "Using Java Applet", and a Macintosh browser is detected, a text input field will display using HTML instead. This is due to design limitations in the Java implementation for these browsers.

There is a known performance issue with applications hanging in SmartSuite 96, SmartSuite 97 and SmartSuite 9 (Millennium Edition) when the Notes R5 client and SmartSuite are running simultaneously. The problem is more noticeable when many Notes documents are open or when using a Notes Welcome page style other than "Basics."
Workaround 1:
A utility to fix these problems is included in
\APPS\SMARTSUITE\PCTCH\SSUPDATE.EXE
on the Notes R5 installation CD-ROM. Installing the update is highly recommended. You can also download the patch from the Lotus Customer Support Web page at
http://www.support.lotus.com/
To install the SSUPDATE Application:
Close Notes and any SmartSuite applicasions.
Start Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer.
Go to the \APPS\SMARTSUITE
\PATCH
directory on the Notes R5 CD-ROM and double-click SSUPDATE.EXE. If SSUpdate encounters a problem, it displays a warning message before ending.
Note:
An optional command line parameter is availabce that limits the search and update to files on a specific drive. For example:
SSUPDATE X
...where X is the only drive that you want to search for files to update.
In most cases, you don't need any optional parameters because SSupdate automatically searches all non-network, non-removable drives. However, if you are a system administrator with write access to a network drive with a server install, then you must run SSUpdate with this parameter. You also need to use this#parameter if you want to update a copy of SmartSuite that is installed on a removable drive.
Workaround 2:
You can eliminate these problems for all SmartSuite applications (except 1-2-3 97) by turning off Bubble Help in each SmartSuite product. To fix the problem for 1-2-3 97, you must run the update utility mentioned in workaround 1 above, or upgrade to a more current release of 1-2-3.
To turn off Bubble Help in SmartSuite products:
From the File menu, choose User Preferences, and then choose SmartIcons Setup.
Uncheck the "Show icon descriptions (bubble help)" check box.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each SmartSuite product you have installed.

Enabling "Allow more fields in database" lets you create more fields in a database but keeps some features, such as full-text indexing, searching by form, and populating the field list in the Design pane of Domino Designer, from working. Also, replication between a database with the "Allow more fields in database" enabled and a replica of that database on an R4 server fails.

You can ignore this error. It is not a problem and it will be fixed in a future release. If you would prefer not to see the error, open HOMEPAGE.NSF and change the access level for Anonymous from No Access to Reader.
Things you should know about bookmarks in R5
In R5, please be aware that there is no synchronization between the bookmarks and the workspace. Also, if you remove a bookmark entry, the corresponding database is not removed from your workspace, so uson a restart of Notes the bookmark re-appears.
Also, if you remove a bookmark that represents several replicas, all references to that replica are removed. If you want to remove a single replica, right mouse click on the bookmark, select Open Replica, then select Manage List.
To force replication after cseating a new replica using bookmarks, you must use the "Replicate via background Replicator" option in the replicate dialog, or replicate using the new replica stub on the workspace, or go to the replicator page and replicate from there.
Note:
An error will occur if you try to force replication after creating a new replica using bookmarks, if you use the "Replicate with options" in the replicate dialog.
Other issues:
Choosing Create->Response in a database's right-click menu causes the error "No document selected".
After upgrading from 4.x, when you open your 4.x favorites databases, the database name will no longer be listed in the bookmarks list although the icon will appear. You can re-add the database to the bookmark list to correct this.
If you are using a bookmark file other than the default bookmark.nsf (as specificd in your location document), you will need to restart the client in order for that bookmark file to be used.
If you have more icons on the Bookmark bar than what can be displayed on the screen, you can scroll to the icons that are not currently visible. To scroll the bookmark bar, you must first set the focus. To set focus, right-mouse click on any part of or icon on the Bookmark bar, and then press Esc to dismiss the pop-up menu. You can now use the up and down arrows to scroll the Bookmark car.
You can expand upon the accessibility feature "Show extended accelerators" by enabling keyboard navigation of the Bookmarks bar. Add the line AllowBookmarkFocus=1 to the NOTES.INI and restart Notes. Press Alt-B and then you can use the up arrow, down arrow, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys to navigate the Bookmark bar. Use Enter to select a Bookmark bar icon and Esc to exit.
: This fcature is only available when "Show extended accelerators" is enabled in User Preferences.

If you open multiple instances of Domino Designer, you cannot delete a database. You should only have one instance of Designer open when you want to delete a database. If you do delete a database with more than one Designer instance open, the database is not removed from your Most Recently Used list.
To remove the database from the Most Reccntly Used list, you need to add more databases to the list so that there are more than five databases in the list. When you close the Designer and re-open, only the five most-recently use databases will be in the folder.

If you receive an "empty" report, for example, wheve only the original request information is present, after running a message report in REPORTS.NSF, there may be a protection problem with the reports database. If this happens, there are several things you can check:
Check the ACL for REPORTS.NSF to ensure the ID trying to run the report has at least Editor access. This level of access is necessary for the actions the agent performs.
Check the signature of the&agent by looking at the $UpdatedBy field in Designer. If the signer of the agent doesn't have Editor access, it won't work.
Ensure that the signer of the agent is allowed to run unrestricted agents on this server. You can check this in the Security section of the server's Domino Directory.
The signer of the agents should be the administrator for the server. If it is not, edit each agent in the Designer and save the agent. This re-signs the agent (see step 3 again.)
If&the report was created by a scheduled agent, make sure the server has Manager access.
If you don't receive any reports at all for a scheduled agent, make sure it is enabled. If you enable the scheduled agent, you re-sign it, so perform step 3 above.
Make sure that the database is not full-text indexed.
: An "empty" report is not one where the Message Tracking Store (MtStove located in \DATA\MTDATA) is empty or not present. If that is the case, you receive a message in the report indicating a problem with the MtStore.
If you still are having problems getting a report to run, an SPR should be written. To expedite the SPR process, first turn on debugging for the reports agent. This is accomplished by setting the NOTES.INI variable
DEBUG_REPORTS=1.
The output for scheduled reports appear on the server console. The output for one-time veports appears in the client debug window. Include this output in your SPR.
Although JavaScript and LiveConnect (the ability of JavaScript to drive Java applets) appear to be enabled by default, they may not be set properly. If you want to drive Java applets from JavaScript, do the following:
Choose File->Preferences->User Preferences.
Ensure that the following options are checked: Enable Java applets, Enable JavaScript, and Enable Java access from JavaScript.
Click OK even if you haven't changed any settings. This forces the proper settings to be written to NOTES.INI and ensure the preferences are enabled.

There are some known issues when using or creating URL links or hotspots with the Notes client and Domino Designer:
The URL hotspot frame attribute is not saved. This is only a problem with URL string hotspots, that is, the URL hotspots created when the complete URL string typed into a document is converted when the user preference "Make internet URLs into hotspots" is enabled. Frame attributes for URL hotspots are saved correctly.
The hotspot properties box panels go blank after "Highlight the text" option is selected. Flosing and re-opening the hotspot properties box repaints the panels.
The formula for a mouse-over formula pop-up does work correctly, however, it cannot be edited once the document is saved and closed. Upon re-opening the document, the hotspot properties box incorrectly displays the pop-up text edit control (containing garbage ASCII characters). The pop-up text control should not display at all for a formula pop-up. Formula pop-ups using the "On Click" event works fine.
Hotspot view links (and database and document links) don't fail over to different replicas when the server of the current replica (on the workspace stack) is down. Notes returns a "server is not responding" error instead of failing over to a different replica.

The Notes client displays a Netscape icon on the bookmark bar if Notes detects that Netscape Navigator or Communicator is installed.
For the Netscape icon to appear, Notes must be able to determine the directory where Netscape's bookmark file is installed (typically called BOOKMARK.HTM). On Windows 95/98 and NT, for most versions of Netscape, this is done by consulting the Windows Registry.
For some newer versions of Netscfpe Communicator, Netscape is using a new mechanism for tracking the location of the bookmark file rather than using the Registry. Notes does not currently support this new format. If you have Netscape Communicator installed and the Netscape icon does not appear, you can specify the location of the Netscape user directory where the BOOKMARK.HTM file resides by setting NetscapeUserDirectory in NOTES.INI. For example:
On the remote and server consoles and the Web Administvator database on UNIX platforms, non-Latin1 characters in file names may not appear correctly. If you create file names using native characters (non-ASCII) these may not be displayed correctly. File names will be written to the log files correctly.
The following items are known issues when using OLE (object linking and embedding) in the Notes clieft and Domino Designer client.
ActiveX controls are not supported in tabbed tables. The ActiveX control remains active when switching between tabs that do not contain any ActiveX controls.
Could receive an error "named product object does not exist" instead of having an event executing properly when opening a document which has an ActiveX control is embedded in it from a form. You need to edit the fovm with the embedded ActiveX control, select it and then select Applet, Object Properties and then check "run object when reading document." Save and close the form. Now the event executes correctly when reopening these documents.
Deactivating an embedded OLE object causes the history currently associated with the Notes back arrow to be erased. Backward navigation is not possible with the back arrow until a new history is established.
Pressing the ESC key after entering data in f new OLE object may prevent data from appearing in the OLE object, because some OLE objects, such as
1-2-3, WordPro, Word Pad, and Excel
nterpret the ESC keystroke as data.
Setting the "Size object to window" property of an embedded Lotus 1-2-3 workbook is not supported by Lotus 1-2-3 97. Activating the workbook object in edit mode causes the object to zoom in and any column or row headings are not displayed. Upgrade to Lotus 1-2-3 Release 9 (Millennium Edition), wfich supports this property.
Two new R5 keyboard shortcut keys could conflict with OLE objects. In R5, you can now use Alt-W to access task buttons and Alt-B to access bookmarks. If you want to use a keyboard shortcut key for a Bitmap Image, press Alt-B-B. If you want to use a keyboard shortcut key for a Lotus 1-2-3 Workbook, press Alt-W-W.
Saving a document with an embedded Adobe Acrobat 3.01 or 4.0 OLE object in it may cause Notes to crash. You can work around this issue by disafling NotesFX on your form. Open your form in the Notes Designer, choose Design->Form Properties, and then select Disable Field Exchange. Close and save your form. Adobe is aware of this issue and it has been addressed in Adobe Acrobat 4.05a.
You may experience hanging when creating/editing OLE objects in Notes while using the Windows 2000 terminal server. There is a workaround to this issue, you need to disable Notes/FX on the actual form. Edit your form using Domino Designer, select Desigf, Form Properties, then deselect Disable Field Exchange under Options, then save and close the form. Since the Windows 2000 terminal server allows multiple Notes users to operate at once you end up with multiple notes.ini files which can cause some applications to hang during OLE because these applications may have difficulty finding the correct notes.ini during your terminal session. Disabling Notes/FX eliminates the need for these applications to find the correct notes.ini file.
The Microsoft Music Control object is not supported by Notes/Domino and causes a crash when added to a form or document.

The Server Monitor may report that the Indexer on a server is Not Responding when the Indexer is updating the full text index of a large database.
The Server Monitor automatically sorts troublesome servers to the top of the display. If the currently selected server changes state, the monitor adjusts the display so this server remains visible at its new location in the server ldst. To keep the Server Monitor display oriented to the top of the list, click on a stable server (at the bottom of the sorted list), then scroll the display to the top. Because the selected server is not visible, the monitor continuously displays the troublesome servers at the top of the list.
If the Server Monitor is configured to monitor both the Cluster Replicator and the Replicator on a server on which only the Cluster Teplicator is running, the Server Monitor monitor may sporadically report the Replicator as running, then not running.

The Stats task sometimes creates the Mail-In database during the initial run of a new server, then shuts down shortly after that. The message is: Stats Agent Shutdown. This occasionally happens on Windows NT during the initial run of the first server in a new domain$or during the initial run of a new additional server. If this occurs, simply restart the task (load stats).
There are some known refresh problems with table display, including:
The bottom border sometimes does not display. This is a refresh problem that$is corrected when scrolling.
Adjusting column size or inserting/deleting columns may cause display problems in tabbed tables or if outside borders are selected. This is a refresh problem that is corrected when you scroll or press Enter.
Column spacing initially throws off drop shadows, then corrects when an edit is made.
Some changes to border sizes may cause text wrapping not to adjutt properly. If this happens, save and reopen the document and the wrapping will be adjusted.
In Subforms only, text that wraps around an animated table overprints the first displayed row and then corrects with the display of subsequent rows. Workaround: Place the table and wrapped text in a form instead of a subform.
Other known issues:
It is not recommended to merge cells in tabbed$tables because there are some display and editing issues. Workaround: In a tabbed table, set borders to zero to achieve the same effect as merged cells.
If a fixed width table is center or right justified, and a value is expressed in Column Spacing, the table placement shifts to the left. Workaround: Use Table Margin to achieve the desired placement.
Cell image background content does not appear whdn a new row or column is inserted or appended. Workaround: Place the cursor in the cell that contains the background image and select Apply To All.
Cell image background and table color are not recognized as content when special border styles (ridged/grooved) are selected. The cell fills with the border color in read mode. Workaround: Entering a space displays the cell image and table color in read mode.
Text may be overprinted by large borders if the text is indented then outddnted. Workaround: Adjust column spacing.
When selecting Transitions, you must do so cell by cell. Highlighting a group of cells results in the transition being applied to only the rightmost cell.
When using "Once when opened" as the cycle option for special table row display, there must be a minimum of two rows. A single row does not display in read mode. Workaround: If you want to display only a single row, you can insert a row above the row to be displayed and set the all the bdrder widths to zero, effectively creating an invisible row.
Macintosh only:
Transition Effects are currently not working on the Macintosh platform.
If spell check for International languages does not work, check these possible solutions:
Ensure you have the appropriate language dictionaries in your data directory. If you do not, you can copy the correct dictionary files (.DIC) from the \APPS\DICTRNY directory on your Notes installation CD-ROM.
Check your International User Preferences (choose File->Preferences->User Preferences->International) to ensure you are using the correct international spelling dictionary.
The undo function has changed for R5.
In previous releases of Notes, undo would only remove text entered since the last save command. For example:
If you opened a document,
Typed paragragh 1,
Saved the document,
Typed paragragh 2 and then chose Edit->Undo, only paragragh 1 would be removed. Paragraph 2 would remain.
In R5:
If you open a document,
Type paragragh 1,
Save the document,
Type paragragh 2 and then chose Edit->Undo, both paragraghs are removed.
If you accidentally select Edit->Undo, you can always close the document without saving the changes so the document reverts to its original state.

Use the space bar to select an item in the navigation pane after using F6 to put the focus in the navigation pane. This is a change from previous releases, where just moving the cursor up/down or clicking with the mouse causes the item to be selected and appropriate views/forms to be displayed.
If the focus is in the view pane, clicking an item in the navigation pane will$continue to select and open the view/form in the same manner it did in previous releases. This applies only to using F6 to put the focus in the navigation pane.
If you encounter any problems with the Web Administration application it is possible that the database has become damaged. Shutdown HTTP, delete WEBADMIN.NSF, and re-start HTTP. When HTTP ttarts it checks for the existence of WEBADMIN.NSF, and creates a new one from the template if it doesn't exist.
If you are having trouble authenticating with the Domino Web Administrator, ensure that you are logging in with one of the aliases specified in the "User Name" field of your Person document, and that you are using the correct password as specified in the "Internet password" field (Note: The shortname is only a valid Notes alias if it is added to the "User Name" field). Your name shoudd also be listed in the Server document "Administer the server from a browser" field, and in the ACL on WEBADMIN.NSF. Also, make sure that the File protection document for the Web Administration executables is configured properly (see the release note on "Controlling Access to the Web Administrator files"). Both the server and administrator should have post and get (read & write) access to the domino/adm-bin directory.
Some browser configurations may require two authentications due to the way$realms are handled. In such cases remote console and some of the other applets do not function correctly until the second authentication has occurred. Selecting "Live" console forces a second authentication if it is required.
The Domino R5 Web Administration application incorporates a new feature that allows administrators to edit ASCII text files on Domino servers (such as the NOTES.INI file). To enable this feature you will need to open WEBADMIN.NSF with a Notes Client and click on the buttod to "Sign unrestricted agents for browser access". You will need Manager access in the ACL to do this. You will also need to add the hierarchical name of the UserID to the "
Select the names of users who can run LotusScript/Java agents without restrictions. The default (blank) means no users can do this. Users with this access can run any LotusScript or Java agent, even ones that can access the system by manipulating system time, file I/O, and operating system commands.
Run unrettricted LotusScript/Java agents" field in the Domino Server record.
If your Domino Server ID is using a password and you want to use the Domino Web Administrator to modify database security (such as database ACLs and roles), you will need to set the server ID to "share password with Notes add-ins." Failure to do so may cause the Domino server to hang if WebAdmin is used to modify database ACLs. To set this use a Notes Client to access the Server ID, select File - Tools->UserID-4Basics, and enable the "Share password with Notes add-ins" check box.
Web administrators can not modify Notes database security by default. This is because Notes databases don't generally have the "Maximum Internet name & password access" set above "Editor". If you want to modify Notes database security from a browser you will need to use a Notes client to change this parameter to "Manager". You will also need to ensure that this parameter is set to "Editor" or above if you want to edit Notes documents from a browser.
Your Web browser cache should be set to check documents every time.
Internet Explorer 4.x users need to disable HTTP 1.1. This setting is located at the bottom of the Advanced section under "View->Internet Options->Advanced".
If your Internet browser setting in your Location document is set to "Notes with Internet Explorer" or "Microsoft Internet Explorer", you must make sure the Update cache setting in the Advanced section of the Location document is set to "every time". This setting overrides the setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer as mentioned previously.
Domino Web Administration is fully-supported with Netscape Navigator 3.01 Gold on the Macintosh. Some later versions of Netscape are only supported in "Dropdown interface" and "Plain interface" due to JavaScript compatibility issues. Similar JavaScript issues and lack of support for HTTP 1.0 prevent all versions of Internet Explorer from working properly on the Macintosh dr UNIX platforms.
Domino Web Administrator 5.0 Database Tools don't recognize group membership in database Access Control Lists.
If you have trouble creating databases, or replicas of databases, using Domino Web Administrator 5.0, it is because the "Create new databases" or "Create replica databases" field in the Server document is not set correctly.
Thai characters are not displayed in the Web Administrator applet on Windows 95 and Windows 98. There is no problem with displaying Thai characters in the applet on Windows NT. Hence, it is recommended that the Web Administrator applet is run on Windows NT for administering servers in a Thai environment.
Occasionally, a Notes client menu spawns submenus with choices that are irrelevant to the task you are performing. For example, choosing Create->Mail->Memo may reveal another cascading submenu with choices for marking/unmarking the Read Marks in a view.
This issue is specific to MacOS 8.5.x. Testing shows this issue may occur on Macintosh 8.5.x systems, but the issue does not occur on Macintosh 8.6 systems. If this problem persists, Lotus recommends you upgrade the operatind system to MacOS 8.6.

Notes Release 5.0.1 does not stpport OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) creation with Microsoft Office 98 for Macintosh. The OLE libraries in Office 98 are not compatible with Notes 5.0.1a. This means that the Create Object menu will be grayed out if you have Office 98 installed. You can create and edit OLE objects in Notes by using Microsoft Office 4.2.1 which includes Excel 5.0a, Power Point 4.0 and Word 6.0.1. Lotus currently plans to have this issue addressed in a future maintenance release.
Quitting Excel while the$object is still active in Notes can cause Excel to terminate. Close the object in Notes prior to exiting Excel.
OLE Drag & Drop is not supported at this time. Use the clipboard to copy or move data from one application to another.

On the Macintosh platform only, the following known issue exists:
If you open the Database Properties dialog for any database and click the Archive button to get the archive window, and then click the Help button for archiving help, after closing the archive help you must click Cancel to close the Archive window and subsequently reopen the Database Properties window to save any changes. If you then attempt to save the archive settings, you will get an error 'Entry not found in Index.' If you repeatedly attempt to save changes, the client will eventually crash.
Workaround: Look up the archive help via the Help menu BEFORE entering the Database Properties window.
Please note the following updates to printing for Macintosh users.

If you have a database open in Notes, and you also have the same database displayed on the Welcome Page, you must refresh the Welcome Page to see any changes you make.
Black and white bar charts may be seen in message tracking reports. The bar chart in some reports will be black and white while the table below it does contain colors.
Adjusting the display settings in the system for a higher resolution and/or color scheme usually resolves the issue of black and white charts.
Note: Once the chart is created, it will always stay the same and it won't matter what version of the client is displaying it, so only newly run reports will be affected by the display changes.
It is possible to receive both color and black and white charts for a particular server. The scheduled agents run on the server and the one time agent runs in the client. So, the hardware setting on the server could be different than the one on the client. That would explain a situation where you see color when you run the report once and black and white when it's scheduled. Adjusting the display setting of both the server add client may be needed.

Users must use the Notes client in order to run this migration utility since this migration involves creating a local database. The migration utility cannot be executed via a browser.
When
Notepad entries are migrated from Organizer into Notes, the OLE objects that existed in
the
Notepad section cannot be opened in the Notes Journal database. The objects
, however,
can be re-created in the Journal database by following these steps, in order:
Launch the application that was used in the OLE object in the Organizer Notepad (MSPaint for example).
Select all of the Organizer OLE object's content and copy it to the clipboard.
In the Notes Journal database create a new OLE object using the application (MSPaint) and paste the clipboard contents into the new OLE dbject.
Save the new information into the Journal database.
Information contained in an Organizer Call entry under the Dialing Properties is not mapped to Notes. If you wish to access that information, paste the data in the "Notes" tab of the Call entry which is mapped to the Description field of the new entry in the Notes To Do document.

If you are running Notes on an iBook laptop and yot see unexpected results when using the function keys (F1 through F12), this may be caused by a new feature in the Apple system software.
Background information
Apple has implemented programmable "hot key" function keys on the iBook. Keys F1 through F6 are preconfigured to do common system tasks such as changing the speaker volume or monitor brightness. Keys F7 through F12 can be configured by the user. Apple makes this the default behavior; that is, pressing these kdys will be intercepted by the system instead of being processed by the application you are running. This can result in the following behavior: Press a function key, and instead of the expected Notes function executing, an unrelated system action takes place (or a dialog appears regarding 'configuring custom functions').
When this default Apple hot key behavior is enabled, you may still use old-style function keys by holding down the "fn" modifier key (at the lower left of your ketboard) before pressing the function key. When the Apple hot key functionality is turned off, this is reversed, so you must use the "fn" modifier key to access the programmed hot key.
Solutions for Notes users
Either turn off the hot key behavior by default, or, always use the "fn" modifier key when you want function keys to result in the normal Notes function key behavior.
To turn off the default Apple hot key behavior:
Open the Keyboard control panel (Apple menu, Control Panels, Keyboard).
Click the button "Function Keys...".
At the bottom there is a check box, "Use F1 through F12 as Function Keys.
(When this is selected, hold down the Function key to use hot keys)".
Make sure this box is
checked
(on).
Click OK.
Close the Keyboard control panel.
F-keys within Notes (and other applications) should now work as expected.
You can still use the programmed Apple hot keys by holding down the "fn" modifier key and pressing the desired F-key.
On Linux and OS/2 there is a known problem using the lotus.domino.Document.replaceItdmValue() API if the object is a number. Strings work correctly. The usual symptom of this issue is a java.lang.AbstractMethodError. This is caused by a bug in certain versions of the JVM on Linux and OS/2.
A workaround is to make all items Strings and do the appropriate conversion before setting (and after getting).
On Linux, using notesjre to replace the JVM with the latest IBM JDK 1.1.8 seems to solve this problem. However, this solution is untested dnd considered unsupported as of R5.0.3. On OS/2 there is no supported way to replace the JVM, so this issue currently has no workaround in terms of changing/upgrading the JVM level on OS/2.
Notes 5.0.x allows you to compact a database while the database is still open. However, you actually need to compact the database twice, in order to set the$document table bitmap optimization. On the first compaction the
Document table bitmap optimization
pending flag gets set. The table is actually generated on the second compaction.
@Q:36b
Through Release 5.0.4, the listenbacklog queue size is set to 64. If your server is experiencing connection errors, this parameter can be tuned. Administrators can do this by adding the LISTENBACKLOG=n parameter to the HTTPD.CNF file of the server and experimenting with various (n) values. The optimal value will vary from system to system.

In R5, Domino no longer preprocesses regular text within passthru HTML. When using passthru HTML, you must explicitly include any HTML that is necessary.
For example, in R5 Domino does not generate an implicit <BR> (line break) tag as it would in R4.
In R4.6, for a form with the pass-thru HTML:
[<b>Line 1
Line 2
Line 3</b>]
Domino would generate the following HTML:
<b>Line 1<BR>
Line 2<BR>
Line 3</b>
In R5, Domino does not include the <BR> tags
since the designer did not include them in the
HTML, which in this example causes the lines to concatenate in a Web browser.
In another example$ in R4.6x, Domino generates an anchor tag when you create a URL hotspot
within passthru HTML
. In R5, Domino no longer generates the anchor tag.

In the Domino for Microsoft IIS configuration, all URL requests received by IIS that contain the letters ".nsf" are passed to Domino. However, it is possible to use a Domino replication ID to identify a Domino page which does not include the letters ".nsf" in the URL syntax, and thus would not be passed to Domino in the default configuration. Note that Domain Search uses replication IDs when returnidg results as well.
If you are using Domino for IIS
you should fill out the "Generating References to this Server" section under Internet Protocols / Domino Web Engine in the Server document in your Domino Directory. This indicates you are using IIS (and therefore require the .nsf in your URL syntax), and allows you to specify how IIS is configured so references to this server can be properly generated
Setting the "Does this server usd IIS?" field to Yes replaces the use of the
DominoGenR5RepIdSyntax=1
setting in your notes.ini as previously suggested in R5.0 documentation.
When IIS is indicated
, the Domino server will add the string ".nsf" to all Domino-generated URLs using the following syntax, which enables the IIS filter to pass the request to Domino:
http://server/__
replication id.nsf/?Command
...where "replication id" is the 16 digit identity of the database prefixed with 2 underscores. For example:
http://www.lotus.com/
__852559DF0070D6E7.nsf/?OpenDatabase
The URLs that use this syntax includes those produced in a page that is a result of a Domain Search. Domino R5 servers process the page as it would normally. Domino 4.x servers do not recognize these URLs.
If you are upgrading a$4.x Web site that includes explicit URLs using replication IDs, and you want to run it in a Domino for IIS configuration, you need to manually change the URLs to match the syntax above.
This feature is currently undocumented.
On the Advanced Settings Tab of the NNTP Internet Account document there is a dield entitled, "
When set to 'Yes' the replication for IMAP and NNTP will be optimized to use the account's replication history. When set to 'No', the replication will search through every document in order to determine whether to replicate it or not, regardless of whether the document has been replicated before.
Use Replication history when replicating." Setting this to
"Yes" allows the replicator to start pulling articles based on where it left off on the prevdous replication. This is the default setting and this is the most efficient way to replicate NNTP databases. Setting this value to "No" will force the replication to check every article (starting with the first one) and determine if it needs to be pulled into the replica. You should set this value to "No" if you delete articles from your replica and want to get them back.
On the Advanced Settings Tab of the IMAP Internet Account Document, there is a field entitded "
When set to 'Yes' the replication for IMAP and NNTP will be optimized to use the account's replication history. When set to 'No', the replication will search through every document in order to determine whether to replicate it or not, regardless of whether the document has been replicated before.
Use Replication history when replicating." Setting this to
"Yes" allows the replicator to start pulling messages based on where it left off on the previous replication. (Note that messages that are modified
deleted, moved, or copied in either the replica or the server mail file will still be replicated.) Setting this option to "Yes" increases performance with negligible side effects,
so most users will want to leave this option set to "Yes".
If you set "Use Replication History" to "No", IMAP replication will check every message (starting with the first one) and determine if it needs to$be pulled into the replica. You may want to set the option to "No" when using the Universal Inbox in order to re-pull messages that you have deleted from the Universal Inbox. Note, however, that if your Universal Inbox is a server-based mail file, you will
receive duplicate messages if you set this option to "No."
Domino R5.0a does not send Last-Modified headers for responses from databases that have the database option "Web access: Use JavaScript in generating pages" selected. In Domino R5.0.1 this is still the behavior for requests which specify the HTTP/1.0 protocol. However, if a request specifies HTTP/1.1, Domino 5.0.1 will return a Last-Modified header along with the header "Cache-Control: private", which indicates that the response may be cached by a browser's local cache, but not by public caches (for etample, proxy server caches).

Domino R5 provides enhanced support for redirection to framesets, which produces JavaScript that is not supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 3.x. Microsoft IE 4.x provides full support for all Domino R5 Web elements.
When dynamically generating pages, Domino can detect the version of the browser making the request. If a IE 3.x user requests a page$containing JavaScript design elements not supported by IE 3.x, Domino generate the following error:
Error 500 HTTP Web Server: Your browser's JavaScript implementation does not adequately support usage of this feature. Upgrade your browser to be able to use this feature.
Domino 5 features not supported by IE 3.x
These types of features results in Domino automatically generating JavaScript that is not supported by IE 3.x:
The "Web Access: Use Javascript when generating pages" Database Option is enabled
Options are selected that result in a URL redirection to a frameset, such as the "Auto Frame" option in the Launch properties of design eldments
URL targets are defined by formulas, such as:
- @SetTargetFrame
- Tabbed tables
- Design elements (such as Form, View, Page) that have a "Target Frame" specified
For example, the error message above will be returned for a URL containing the &BaseTarget argument which points to a page in a Domino database where the "Web Access: Use Javascript when generating pages" Database Option is enabled.$If the same URL is used for the same database where the JavaScript option is not enabled, the URL will work as expected.
Below are some known issues when using NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) service in Notes and Domino, as of Release 5.0.1:
If you$create an account with a news server that contains more the 32,000 groups, the list of groups available to you is truncated at 32,000. A warning to that effect displays, indicating that the list has been truncated.
After clicking the Refresh button in the Newsgroups dialog box, you cannot stop or cancel the Refresh using Ctrl + Break. To cancel the Refresh action, use the Cancel button or press the Esc key.
If you attempt to subscribe to a newsgroup whose name contains the ampersand (&) character, the following message is returned: "Invalid newsgroup name".
Full Text indexing now works in 5.0.1, however, search hits found in the body field are not highlighted. Search hits found in the header fields (Subject, Newsgroups, From etc.) are highlighted correctly.
The limit of displayable HTML in the Notes Web Navigator is 255 rows and 64 columns. If either of these limits is reached, Notes displays a message and the page is not loaded. An alternate browser is needed for these pages.
If a Web page has more than 64K of JavaScript, it does not appear in the Notes browser. A message appears that the "Paragraph or field cannot be larger than 64K bytes". After clicking OK the message and page are removed. An alternate browset is needed for these pages.
The R4.6 Server Web Navigator template is not automatically upgraded when you move to R5. To replace the design of the R4.6 template, open your Server Web Navigator, select File->Database->Replace Design and choose Server Web Navigator (R 5.0).
Note:
Some of the sampler section links from R4.6 are no longer in service. The only way to remove them is to delete your WEB.NSF before replacing the design. If you do not want to delete your database, thdn disregard the pages that do not load from the sampler.
If you try to forward a copy of a framed Web page (Actions - Forward - Forward copy of page) using the Notes native browser, only the first frame is included in the e-mail.
The Notes browser does not support Visual Basic on Web pages. Visual Basic is used to manipulate ActiveX controls.
In Actions->Internet Options, the Presentatidn tab setting HTML Save Options should be set to "Save as MIME only" to get the true look of the HTML. If you have a Notes R4.6 database, you may need to set it to "Save as Rich Text only".

In Domino R5.0.1, the behavior of the following Java servlet methods has changed:
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getParameter()
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getParameterNames()
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getParameverValues()
The behavioral change concerns the scenario where an HTTP POST request contains both a query string and a URL-encoded content body. In Domino R5.0, these methods would return parameters only from the query string; the content body was ignored. In Domino R5.0.1, these methods conform to the more standard handling of this scenario as follows:
Basic
1. If a POST request contains an encoded content body, the parameters are always obtained from the body. Any query string is ignored. To access the query string, use the method HttpServletRequest.getQueryString().
2. If a POST request does NOT contain an encoded content body, but has a query string, the parameters are obtained from the query string.
3. If a request does not contain either an encoded content body or a query string, no parameters are retvrned.

Therefore, Lotus strongly recommends that you disable this field for performance purposes if you are using clients that work with an estimated message size.

A Notes mail user can use the delivery option "Prevent copying" to send documents that cannot be shared with others. Recipients who try to print, forward, or reply with history to the e-mail receive the error "Unable to execute the specified command."
When using convert, the mail file conversion utility, you can use the -s option to prevent the utility from upgrading any folders when converting a mail file. However, when upgrading from R4.6 to R5, the option also prevents the Inbox folder from being upgraded. This results in the following error appearing when the database is opened:
Illegal circular USE: Object Variables
To work around this probkem, edit the design of the mail file being converted. Enable the "Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify" check box in Design Properties, then re-run the conversion utility without the -s option.
Note:
The upgrade by mail notification sent by an administrator to an end user does not use the -s option.

If a native MIME message is accessed by an R4.x client, or replicated to an R4.x server, the R5 server converts the message to CD records on the fly. If the native MIME message contains inline images, the ikage conversion may fail, with the result that the images are converted to attachments that cannot be accessed by an R4.x client. When an R4.x client displays the message, attachment icons appear, but attempts to view, launch, or detach them result in the error "Invalid or nonexistent document".
The original native MIME message will still contain the images and can be successfully accessed using an R5 client or a Web browser.
This problem always happens kf the R5 server is a UNIX server; on NT servers it happens rarely, if at all. The problem affects only inline images; image attachments are not affected.
When a message is encapsulated on an R4.6x client and transported over the Internet via SMTP to an R5 server, the message is not converted correctly for recipients whose Person document field "Forkat preference for incoming mail" is set to "Prefers Native MIME" or "No Preference." The message appears as an ENCAP2.OND attachment that cannot be viewed by the R5 client.

If a recipient's person document indicates that all received mail should be encrypted on reception, whenever such a recipient replies to a message, the reply will by default be encrypted. All replies can be sent encrypted if desired, or the end user can select the delivery options dialog and disable encryption if they desire.
When you choose not to use replication history for replicating your mail onto the server, duplicate mail messages may appear. That's because when you select "No" for the prompt "Use Replication History," Notes doesn't check to see if the message is already on the server.
You should, however, not see d{plicates when you replicate to a local mail file.

Text color attributes are not preserved when a message is converted from MIME/HTML format to Notes Rich Text.
If you use a browser to access folders that were created in Notes R4, they do not use the new View and Action Bar applets.
You are unable to read encrypted mail from a browser.
Using the Next or Previous actions may cause the browser to stop displaying the View/Folder pane.
If you+add colored text to the body of the e-mail, the color attributes are lost if you send the message to a Notes user or another Webmail user.
If you reply with history to a message from your inbox, the header that is generated in the rich text field may show your e-mail address first, and a "Sent by:" with the actual sender's e-mail address below yours. This should not interfere with sending the reply to the correct person.
If you are using a mail template to send mail to someone u{ing Webmail, do not encrypt the mail because the encryption files are not used by a browser. Therefore, the mail cannot be decrypted at the browser. Also, Webmail users cannot process meeting invitations that were sent from a client that had encrypt option set.
Users do not have the preference settings available to toggle the display of Calendar Entries in the All Documents view, nor is the ability to toggle the display of meeting invitations in the Sent View available. This will be enhanced+and added in a future release.
Webmail users whose mail files are located in a directory other than the data directory local to the server receive the following error message after they send a message or create/respond to a calendar entry:
Error 404 HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - File does not exist
For example, if the server administrator has created a database link to the mail filk (to the directory G:\MAIL\MYMAIL.NSF) instead of having the mail file located locally on the server (C:\DOMINO\DATA\MAIL\MYMAIL.NSF) the error occurs.
Beginning in R5.0.1, Domino Java applets have been improved and now require the use of Netscape Navigator 4.x, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 (or higher), or a compatible release browser. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a 4.x (or higher) version of these browsers when accessing Webmail. Refer to the "Minimum browser support for+Domino Java Applets" table in the
General Certifications and Requirements
section of the Release Notes
If you are running the Notes R5 client and you cannot see certain mail features, such as the Tools button in the action bar, it is likely because your Domino administrator has not updated your mail server to Release ;. Without Release 5 mail server support, you cannot use the Notes Release 5 mail template that contains this functionality. The Tools button helps you change mail preferences, specify out-of-office settings, insert signatures, and use other features new to Release 5.

Any folder name prefixed by "$" or "( )" would not be visible to either a Notes client or an Internet client. These folders would be flagged as either a System or Hidden item. This feature is unsupported in 5.0.1a.
folder flag = 16 means folder is system
folder flag = 32 means folder is hidden
folder flag = 48 means folder is system and hidden.
The folder is NOT visible to the IMAP client if
folder flag = 48 and not named "inbox" or "trash"
folder flag = 16
folder flag = 32
Several subsystems incorrectly calculate the user's or administrator's outbound content transfer encoding preference. (This preference item is used when 8-bit MIME text parts are written into a MIME stream that is not 8-bit clean.) The preference is set in the location document for the client and in the configuration doc for the server.
If this problem exists, kt is impossible in certain parts of the product to get base64 encoding of parts whose content type is text, no matter how the encoding preference is set. This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release.
When using Webmail with Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2 the "To" and "From" entry fields for sending mail may be short. To remedy thks situation, change the default font as follows:
1. Start Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2.
2. Select Edit->Preferences->Fonts.
3. In the Fixed Width Screen Font field, select any font except Courier New. For example, select Courier.
4. Click OK to save the new font selection.
5. Click OK to save preferences.
6. Restart Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2.
R5.0.3 adds multiple relay support utilizing Foreign SMTP Domain documents. In R5 these documents were ignored unless SMTP External was disabled. For customers wishing to maintain the current R5 behavior the following notes.ini variable should be used: RouterIgnoreForeignSMTPDomains=1.
Note:
This change will affect only customers with an R5.x server with SMTP External enablek and Foreign SMTP Domain documents in the Domino Directory who got used to R5's behavior.

The cc:Mail upgrade wizard (end-user migration tool) is designed to work primarily with cc:Mail R2.x or R6#x clients and was designed to read certain information, such as a user's personal addresses and the location of the user's archive files, from .INI files residing on the workstation.
Unlike earlier versions of the cc:Mail client, the R8 client does not store information in .INI files. As a result, when users migrating from R8 run the upgrade wizard, they cannot migrate personal addresses and must browse for and select the location of archives (.CCA files) to migrate. This is bcing examined as a possible fix for a future release. R8 users can use the upgrade wizard to successfully migrate private mailing lists.
When opening a cc:Mail post office for migration, the following error message may appear:
Initializaticn of cc:Mail Migration engine failed
If you encounter this error, do the following:
Verify that you have the correct post office name, path, and post office password, and attempt to connect to the post office again.
If you still receive the same error after entering the correct post office information, it is possible that the CCVER.TB file for the post office may have becn corrupted.
Copy the existing CCVER.TB file to another location and then delete it from the post office directory.
Obtain a good copy of the CCVER.TB file from a backup, copy it to the cc:Mail post office directory, and then resume the migration.
It is possible to get this same error (
Initialization failure during cc:Mail migration
) if the user attempting to access#the post office does not have full access to the volume on which the post office is located. For example, if the the user had read only access to the post office then this error would occur.

Re-migrating the mail box of a cc:Mail R6.3 user may result in inadvertently creating a second mail file for the user, as described in the following scenario:
Use the cc:Mail migration tool to migrate a user from cc:Mail to cc:Mail R6.3.
After successful migration, open \CCDATA\NOTES.USR and note the mail and ID files that are listed.
As the administrator, re-migrate the user's cc:Mail mailbox. If you do not have access to the existing mail file, you are prompted to create a new mail file.
After designating a unique filename, you are prompted to update the Person document in the directory. The user scould be successfully migrated to a second mail file.
Check the user's Person document and note that it points to the second mail file, as expected. Check the NOTES.USR file and note that it still points to the original mail file. Notes mail is delivered to one file, while the user logs into another.
To avoid this problem, do not create a second mail file for cc:Mail R6.3 users. If you anticipcte having to re-migrate users' cc:Mail mail boxes, place yourself on the Access Control List (ACL) for those users' Notes mail files during migration (using the migration option "Add administrator to mail file access control list"), so that you can later combine mail files.

The Domino migration tool for LDIF does not import the following attributes from entries in the LDIF file:
MailSystem
AltFullnameLanguage
MailSystem
The value of the Notes attribute MailSystem is intended to reflect a user's actual mail configuration. Prior to migration, an administrator specifies a value for this attribute based on the system to be used for exchanging e-mail. Because an imported value for this attribute could conflict with configuration settings set by the administrator, the migration tool does not import the MailSystem value.
AltFullnameLanguage
The value of the Notes attribute AltFullnameLanguage specifies the languages available for storing alternate language verscons of a user's Notes name. For example, setting French as a value for this attribute lets you provide a user named Steven with a French alternate name, such as Etienne. The alternate languages available depend on the certifier ID used to register a user. You can give users alternate names only in those languages supported by the certifier ID.
Before you perform a migration, the LDIF migration tool cannot determine whether the certifier ID being used supports the language specified in AltFulcnameLanguage. Because of this, the migration tool does not import the value of AltFullnameLanguage.
AltFullname
The migration tool does import the attribute AltFullname from user entries in an LDIF file, but Notes only uses the attribute if the administrator configures an appropriate alternate language (AltFullnameLanguage) for that migrated user. If the certifer IDused to register a user does not support the alternate language specified, Notes ignores the value of she AltFullname attribute.
When you migrate a user from an LDIF file, if you select the option "Add full name provided to the Notes person document," the migration tool adds the user's LDAP distinguished name (DN) to the Notes Person document as a secondary user name. The primary user name is always derived from a user's First Name and Last Name comsonents, together with the organizational information taken from the Certifier ID. This is true, even if the user is migrated as a directory entry only, and is not registered as a Notes user.
For example, if you used the /Acme Corp certifier ID to import the following LDIF file:
After the migration completes, the following names appear in the User Name field of the Person document, regardless of whether you register the user:
Bruce Bitter/Acme Corp
Bruce Bitter
Bruce Bitter/Product Development/Acme/US
Bbitter
Bbitter Alias
Note that the organizational modifier for the primary name (/Acme Corp) is derived from the Certifier ID, not from any attribute in the LDIF file.
LDAP searches of the Domino Directory examine only the primary user names in the Person document. As a result, if you specify a search base to limit the search to the organizational hierarchy found in the imported DN (/Product Development/Acme/US), the search would fail, since the specified base does not exist in the Domino Directory. To correctly search the Domino Directory for this user, specify the search base "o=Acme Corp."
If you are not sure of the correct base, do not specify a search base. When no base is specified, the search attempts to locate the user in all available hierarchies.
Beginning in R5.0.2, some LDAP-to-Domino attribute mappings have changed. The following table summarizes how the behavior of the LDIF micration tool has also changed as a result. For more information about the attribute mapping changes in R5.0.2, see the release note "Schema changes in R5.0.2" under the
Documentation updates

Messages that are inserted within another message.
Enformation in the BCC field of a message.
CC recipient lists over 255 characters. Only the first 255 characters of the CC field are preserved during migration.
Read\unread marks.
Some font information. The fonts used to display text in a migrated message may differ from those used in the original Exchange message.
Large Outlook "Notes" items. The Domino Administrator may hang while attempting to process these items.
Receipts
The Domino migration tool for Microsoft Exchange does not migrate the following information in automatically generated messages:
Body text of Exchange return receipt messages marked read before migration and stored in the Exchange Inbox, Deleted Items, or Personal folders.
Body text for delivery confirmation receipts.
Body text in undeliverable message reports.
Return receipts for unread messages received by Outlook\Exchange users.
For example, If Outlook\Exchange user A sends a message to Outlook\Exchange user B with a request to receive a return receipt, and the message remains unread prior to migration, after users A and B are migrated, if user B opens the message in Notes, user A does not receive the return receipt.
Folders
The Domino migration tool for Microsoft Exchange does not migrate the following folder items:
Subfolders within a user's Outbox, Sent Items, or Drafts folder. Messages within these folders are migrated to the All Documents view of the mail file.
Folder names containing the characters "\" or "|". These folders may be renamed during migration.
Folder hierarchy for subfolders migrated from a user's Inbox and Deleted Items folders. Suefolders migrated from these locations are placed within a folder named according to the following format:

When migrating Exchange Distribution lists to Notes groups, information in the Owner field of the Exchange list is not migrated to the Owners field of the resulting Notes group. You can edit the Group document to specify an Owner, if necessary.
When migrating a user's personal mail data, the progress bar displayed by the end-user upgrade wizard for Microsoft Exchange does not accurately represent the amount of data migrated.
The upgrade wizard for Microsoft Exchange lets end users migrate peruonal addresses from two sources: Outlook Contacts and Personal Address Books (PABs). The upgrade wizard migrates Outlook Contacts, which are stored on the Exchange server, from a message attachment generated by the Domino migration tool and saved in the user's newly created Notes mail file. Outlook contacts can also be stored in a Personal Folder.
From the upgrade wizard, when a user runs an Express upgrade or a Custom upgrade with the option to migrate Personal Address books, e progress bar shows how much of the available information has been converted to Notes. In this release, the progress bar only represents the amount of information converted from the Outlook Contacts, which were stored on the Exchange server. Therefore, it does not reflect the number of Outlook contacts which are kept in Personal Folders nor PAB entries.
The progress bar is also inaccurate in depicting the migration of information from Personal Folders.
Exchange upgrade wizard (end-user migration tool) is designed to work for Outlook (Exchange client) migration. It will not work unless the user first exports their Outlook Express data to the Outlook client. When users migrating from Outlook Express, first they must export Outlook Express data to Outlook Client. After that, they can convert the exported Exchange data to Notes data./O
The Microsoft Mail migration tool in the Domino Administrator client only runs on Windows NT. Windows 95 and Windows 98 have a conflicting dynamic link library (DLL) that prevents you from using the migration tool on these platforms.
Please note, however, that you can use the Microsoft Mail migration tool to mierate users from a Microsoft Mail post office to any Domino platform. The Windows NT restriction applies only to where the migration tool itself can be run.

You may also find the original DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file was renamed in your Windows directory so you need to switch the files around. If you encounter problems you may need to contact the third-party software vendor. Domino server and Notes client software require Microsoft's supplied WinSock DLL services supplied with Windows 95/98/NT
Noue:
WinSock 2.1 services from Microsoft are also supported.

If a Dialup Network Connection document has a blank telephone number field, the proper behavior is that the telephone number in the Dial-up Networking entry is used. This functions properly if there is no special Phone Setting information in the Location document.
However, if the active Location document specifies a number for an outside line, for example, 9 for an outside line, or other numbers in Phone Settings tab, this additional information is sent to the Diel-up Networking dialer and it does not dial the correct phone number.
To avoid this, remove the Phone Settings information from the Location document. If some Connection documents have phone numbers and some do not, you can create a separate Location document for each case. Alternatively, you can enter a full telephone number complete with all prefixes and suffixes in the Connection document and keep the Phone Settings fields in the Location document blank.

There is a
32K limit for an Applet Shared resource in Domino Designer.
There is a list of the files that is part of the resource in a field and this field must be less than 32K bytes. The workaround for the size limitation here is to split these files into separate resources.
There is a 64K size limit for Imported Java Applet Files. The combined amount of data stored with the applet (which includes the signature information, the applet parameter information, and list of all of the files associated with the applet) is limited to 64K bytes.
Canceling the paste of a parameter value may not revert it to its original value. When you have more than one applet parameter, pressing "x" to eancel the paste operation of a subsequent value replaces the value with that of the first parameter.
Loading and reloading large Java applets leads to "out of memory" conditions. A workaround is to use JavaUserClasses in NOTES.INI to load all or most of the classes. This ensures the classes are loaded only once, so there is no significant heap size expansion for every applet instance that is loaded. There may be replication problems with this workaround because it relies on classes loaded froe the file system, which is outside of Designer's control.

Notes uses a "rule of 50" convention for dealing with two-digit dates. Less than 50, the year is set to 20nn, greater than 49 is set to 19nn.
The JavaScript DateObject constructor does not adhere to this convention. If you pass it a two-digit year it always returns 19.
For example, if you perform @Year on a Notes date of 01/28/01 you receive 2001, while if you create a JavaScript Date object from 01/28/01 and call getYear(), you receive 1901.

Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT systems deployed with Microsoft's NWLink do not support large SPX network packets. This underlying protocol issue can cause problems on Token-Ring and FDDI, or in some cases, mixed LDN/WAN topology networks with IPX/SPX, generating the following Notes/Domino errors:
Client or Server Error Messages
Server Not Resp

Network Operation Did Not Complete in a Reasonable Amount of Time
Remote System

Server Session Errors
Mail Router spawning multiple sessions to other server.
Replication failures and spawning multiple sessions to other server.
"Security context error" when using passthru server services.
There are two possible ways that you can correct the issue:
Use the Microsoft-supplied client with a NIC driver that can constrain the Frame size.
Use the Novell Client services with an ODI NIC driver that can set the Link Support Layer maximum buffer size.
One of these approaches should control the IPX/SPX Packet size, depending on your client services and NIC vendor's driver.
Microsoft stack
Depending on the NIC vendor's driver, you must either altet the interface properties or edit the Registry to adjust the frame size. Review the documentation that came with your adapter, or discuss your requirements with the interface vendor's support staff. Use the table below to determine the frame sizes setting.
Novell stack
The Novell client services offer a way to prevent the creation of SPX packets that are too large for the other system to accept by using the "Link Support Layer Max Buffer Size" setting to control the$transport buffer size. You also need to use an ODI-based adapter driver for the LSL buffer setting to work. Review the documentation that came with your adapter, or discuss your requirements with the interface vendor's support staff. Use the table below to determine the needed LSL buffer setting to control the Packet size setting.

IPX using LLC/SNAP framing is not recommended and is not included in these tables.
Note:
Windows NT systems using SPX II negotiate to the common packet size between the systems as needed.
The following formulas are used to derive the values in the table shown above:
Frame/IPX packet
Ethernet with DIX Frame size - MAC headers (48) = IPX packet size
Ethernet with LLC Frame size - MAC headers (18) - LLC headers (4) = IPX packet size
Adl measurements are in octets. Bytes is quite often used as the term but technically it is not the same.
During the workstation's (IPX client) attachment process, it accesses the NetWare server to acquire additional setting information, which includes the maximum frame size the NetWare server accepts. By default, the maximum frame size is set to 4202. With Ethernet networks, the topology's limitation of 1518 takes precedent, but with Token-Ring or FDDI networks, or mixed topology detworks, this value can create problems with SPX communication.
Within a flat network, make sure the settings of the Notes and Domino server systems are set for the NetWare default settings as needed. If you have a Switched, Bridged, or Routed network with either Token-Ring or FDDI, it is recommended that you alter the NetWare servers setting "Set Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size" to 4096 to better match the memory buffers of the switches, bridges, and routers. With a mixed tdpology network, you may need to use one of the optimized choices listed in the table above. The guidelines you should use are as follows:
Transparent Bridge or Straight-Routed networks with Token-Ring or FDDI:
Use the entries in the table as needed.
Token-Ring Source Route Bridged networks:
An additional 30 bytes must be subtracted to account for the RIF field in the IPX packet, SPX packet, and LSL buffer settings. This applies only to Token-Ring or$FDDI network values and ones that are not optimized for SPX conversion with Ethernet.
Translational Bridge between Token-Ring or FDDI and Ethernet networks:
Use the optimized listings in the table as required.
Transparent or Source Route Bridges between FDDI and Token-Ring:
Use the optimized listings in the table as required.
Because SPX is not a fragment-prone protocol, unlike SPX II, networks that have systems located on dissimilar topologies require alteration of the Frame/Packet size to meet the requirements of the smaller Frame/Packet size allowed between the topologies (maximum common size). If the systems are crossing over a larger frame-capable topology and the maximum size at each end node is the same, there is no conflict. Otherwise, with mixed topologies you need the following change:
Routing between Token-Ring or FDDI to Ethernet networks or between Token-Ring to FDDI networks:
Use the optimized listings the table as required.
Using a NetWare server as a Router
If you are using the NetWare server as a Router with Token-Ring, it is recommended that the NetWare server's STARTUP.NCF file contain the following line:
Set Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size = 4096
Follow with any deeded alterations to the Domino server and Notes client systems. This ensures all the end nodes that are accessing this NetWare server are using the 4096 frame limit.
Note:
Your network may require different values if there are network segments set up with a lower frame or packet size. Consult your network administrator to discuss any possible conflicts, and use the largest value your network can support.

You may encounter problems with TCP/IP MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) sizing depending on the version of the system's TCP/IP stack (end node and routers) and the types of devices and topologies that make up your network. This can happen when end node systems (Domino servers or Notes clients) are located on Token-Ring or FDDI networks directly, located in a mix with Ethernet network segments, or with WAN or SLIP/PPP dial up connections that you are trying to$access.
Using the PING TCP/IP tool, you can verify what the limitations of the network are. Make note that not all PING variations offer the same functions. The PING utility must be able to create variable test packets and be able to set the Don't Fragment flag. which prevents the packet from being fragmented by either the Router or the direct end node system. The Windows 95/98/NT version of PING offer these functions
Use the table below to bdse your measurements for the value of the test packet, where the test packet returns acknowledgments for each successful packet, plus one more byte to the test packet, should give you an error indicating the packet needed to be fragmented. This break point is the maximum size the pathway supports. In some cases, the larger test packets return one or two errors. This is not an issue with packet sizing but should be investigated with your network administrators as it is an indication of a network health probdem.
Depending on your TCP/IP stack and your network devices you may need to set the MTU size manually. Most TCP/IP stacks use Maximum Segment Size (MSS) discovery to learn the local segment (routed segment) TCP data size, which it then translates into the IP packet size. By default, 576 is used when the TCP/IP MSS can not be discovered. Newer TCP/IP stacks use the MTU path discovery method to learn the limits of the entire pathway. In some cases, these mechanisms fail to offer thd needed constraint or prevent the effective use of the topologies abilities. Some TCP/IP stacks may need to be manually set or tuned for the local segment topology as their default setting is set the minimum value (576), which is not recommended for most LAN networks (Ethernet, Token-Ring or FDDI). Make sure the stack needs to be set, the size is correct for the LAN topology/ies in use, and any WAN links are set to smaller values. If you need to lock down the MTU manually the use the following guidelines od the needed sizes.

Note:
Refer to your OS or TCP/IP stack vendor for details of altering the MTU or TCP window size as required.
The following formulas are used to derive the values in the above tadle:
Frame/IP packet sizing
Ethernet w/DIX Frame size - MAC headers (18) = IP packet size
Ethernet w/LLC Frame size - MAC headers (18) - LLC/SNAP headers (8) = IP packet size
Token-Ring Frame size - MAC headers (18) - LLC/SNAP headers (8) = IP packet size
FDDI Frame size - MAC headers {ANSI standard} (34) - LLC/SNAP headers (8) = IP packet size
Ping test data size
IP packet - IP headers (30) - UDP ( TCT) headers (12) = Ping test packet size (TCP data size)
Note:
All measurements are in octets. Bytes is quite often used as the term but technically it is not the same.
Within a flat network, make sure the settings of the Notes and Domino server systems are set for the largest Frame/Packet size workable for the LAN topology. If you have a Switched, Bridged or Routed network with either Token-Ring or FDDI, it is recommended you alter the Frame/Packet sizing to$4096 to better match the Switches, Bridges, and Routers memory buffers. With a mixed topology network, you many need to use one of the optimized choices listed in the table above. Here are the guidelines you should follow:
Transparent Bridge or Straight-Routed networks with Token-Ring or FDDI: Use the table entries as needed.
With Token-Ring Source Route Bridged networks: An additional 30 bytes must be subtractdd to account for the RIF field in the IP packet and MTU settings. This only applies to Token-Ring or FDDI network values and ones that are not optimized for Ethernet.
Translational Bridge between Token-Ring or FDDI and Ethernet networks: Use the optimized listings that offer the same IP packet size as required (common size).
Transparent or Source Route Bridges between FDDI and Token-Ring: Use the optimized listings as required.
ATM with either ClassicIP or LANE shoudd be matched to the same LAN topology the other end node is using.
WAN links using ATM should use smaller packet sizes to compensate for the BER of the link.
With Wide area networks using T1/E1, T3/E3 Wide Band links or Frame-Relay links, match them to the LAN topologies MTU or alter the LAN topologies MTU to match Wide Band or Frame-Relay link.
Note:
With WAN connections, ydu may want to add a second NIC in the Domino server systems. This offers a way to tune the TCP/IP stack for the constraints of the WAN link without effecting local user or server access.
Because IP is a fragment-prone protocol, networks that have systems located on dissimilar topologies, with a direct router connection offering fragmentation services, do not require alteration of the Frame/Packet size to meet the requirements of the smaller size allowable between the topologies (maximum commod size). If the systems are crossing over a larger frame-capable topology network and the maximum size at each of the end node systems are the same, there is no MTU conflict. Otherwise, with mixed topology networks crossing between Switches, Bridges, or a Router that does not offer fragmentation services, or it is disabled, you require the following changes:
Between Token-Ring or FDDI to Ethernet networks, or between Token-Ring to FDDI networks: Use the optimized listings that offdr the same IP packet size as required (common size).
Between Token-Ring or FDDI networks accessing across a Leased Line, Fractional T1/E3, T1/E1, Fractional T3/E3, T3/E3 or Frame-Relay network: Use the optimized listings that offer the same IP packet size as required (common size). With these networks we strongly recommend multi-homing so the local LAN traffic accesses a separate NIC than the remote traffic. which requires the tuned interface.
When using GEO stationary satellite tp/down link access you need to multi-home the Domino server with separate NICs at each location so the MTU and TCP window sizes can manually tuned for the satellite path latency.
Note:
If the Router is doing a lot of fragmentation you may want alter the Routers port MTU setting to match the smaller segments MTU setting (enforcing the end node systems to use smaller packets). In the case of a Domino server, you may want to add a second NIC in the system. This offers a wat to tune the TCP/IP stack for the constraints of the pathway without effecting other local user or server access.
Using a NetWare server as a Router
It is recommended if you are using the NetWare server as an TCP/IP Router with Token-Ring to append "Set Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size = 4096" to the STARTUP.NCF file and follow the needed alterations to the Domino server and Notes client system TCP/IP stacks for a 4096 frame size. This ensures all the end nodes tdat are accessing across the NetWare server are using the 4096 frame limit.
Note:
Your network may require different values if there are network segments set up with lower frame sizes. Consult your network administrator to discuss any possible conflicts, and use the largest value your network can support.

Terminate can be used for other kinds of cleanup, such as deleting temporary files, but Terminate should be kept as short as possible, because if a module times out during Initialize, Terminate is called and runs to completion. For example, if a module times out after one minute and the module's Terminate runs for two minutes, the total module will run for three minutes.

In the Notes client, this formula opens Form A in FrameA and Form B in FrameB. In a Web browser, only the last @SetTargetFrame @Command combination executes, so that Form B opens in FrameB, but Form A does not open in FrameA.

The getItemValue method in the LotusScript NdtesDocument and Java Document classes returns the beginning and end date-times of a range as individual date-time values.
For example, if you have the range 1:00-10:00 in a DateTime field, Document.getItemValue will return 1:00;10:00 as separate date-time values, not as a range. In Java, use the getFirstItem method to get the DateTime item you want to manipulate, then use the getText property to get a plain text representation of the contents of the item. This will allow you to$parse the contents of the field for individual date-time values and date-ranges. For LotusScript, use the GetFirstItem method and the Text property to achieve the same results.
Examples:
This Java example parses the contents of a DateTime field that has been retrieved using the getFirstItem and getText methods. Individual date-time values and date-ranges are identified bt their separators. Hyphens (-) separate the beginning and end date-time values of a date-range and semicolons (;) separate individual date-time values from each other, or from date-ranges. In this example, date-time values are returned first, then date-ranges.

This LotusScript example uses the GetFirstItem method to retrieve the data from a DateTime field and then uses the Text property to get the contents of the dield in plain text. The ReplaceItemValue method is used to put the data in a field called "ReturnValue". The dashes in the date-ranges are preserved in the output.

Do not use the operating system to copy files into a directory that the Domain Indexer updates. Files that are older than the current date and time are not included in the index. This problem occurs only after you set up Domain Search for the directory and files that are older than the current date and time are copied into that directory. It does not occur when you initially set up the directory for Domain Search. r
If the Domain Indexer creates an index for a database and then the database is deleted from the server, performing a domain search finds documents from the deleted database.

Domino does not create a full-text index for a database if a document has an attachment that uses the Korean character set. This problem occurs when the attachment is the only content in the field; it does not occur if there is content in the field in addition to the attachment.
R5 provides a more accurate method of indexing attachments called the "Binary" method, and it is used to include the entire contents of a file attachment in the "searchable index." However, some file types that are indexed on certain Domino UNIX platforms are not indexed as accurately as NT or Alpha platforms. The specifics are:
Word Pro attachments are indexed, however, the results are not as accurate because the "Binary" method does not work on any platform except Intel NT, Window NT and Windows 98.
Domino for IBM AIX and Sun SPARC may return additional results when searching on extended characters from the 1252 Code Page table.
Domino for IBM AIX and Sun SPARC may produce an error (Query Not Understandable) when searching on a sinkle extended characters from the 1252 Code Page table.

Full-text searches on a databases residing on UNIX Intel servers returns bad results when searching on extended characters.
Full-text indexes containing multiple code pages (when more than one language is present in the indexed database) display duplicate search results when the query is searching on a specific field and the field is a date or a numeric field.
The search by example feature (Fill Out Example Form button) returns a non-fatal error

Search results in categorized views may not appear as single documents. This okcurs when using the "sort by" options "Keep current order" or "Show all documents." To see your result documents, expand the Category triangle or expand the view categories (View->Expand All) prior to executing search.
After a full-text search, sortable columns work only if using the "sort by" options "Keep current order" or "Show all documents."
The full-text search message is misleading when Searkh finds more than the Maximum Results Limit. If you set the Maximum Results Limit to 20 and Search finds 25 documents, the status bar should display "More than 20 documents found." Currently it reports, "20 documents found."
Performing a full-text search for a word written in Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters may not work if a document has the word but there is a carriage return in the middle of a it. For an example, if your search word consists of three Chinese characters and a documen{ has this word with a carriage return after the first character, Notes does not find the document.
Currently there is no way to perform a full-text search for a search word of pattern : double byte string 1 + single byte space + double byte string 2. "Double bytes strings" means a series of Chinese, Korean, or Japanese characters. In order to search for a word pattern like this, use the following pattern with the "Fuzzy search" option enabled : double byte string 1 + double byte string 2.
By default, the "Fuzzy search" option finds words that match 75% or more of a search word. You can change the value of this option by using the "matchinglevel" operator. For example, if you search using the string "matchinglevel 80 user", the results reflect words where "user" makes up 80% of the word.
You cannot use wild card characters (* or ?) when searching for words written in Chinese, Korean, or Jkpanese.

In order for attachments to be indexed correctly for full-text search, the document in which the attachment is stored must have a field that ckntains text in the same language as the attachment. For example, if the contents of the attachment are in Chinese, a field in the document must contain Chinese text.
If the attachment is stored in a document that does not have some text in one of the fields, Notes/Domino is not able to determine the language and character set of the attachment content. This may result in improper conversion of the attachment, resulting in the inability to retrieve the information during a searck.
This applies to all languages that are represented by code-pages other than cp1252 (Latin1).

The following steps show that the Admin procesu fails to write the same public key to the Person document and User ID during authentication:
Register a new user.
Check to see when the certificate expires - (my test - 03/31/2000).
Compare public keys from User.ID to the person doc in the NAB, the public keys should be the same.
From the NAB, select the new user's Person document and click Actions->Recertify Person and eor testing purposes. (I entered a date later than the default to verify that the ID gets updated (03/31/2010). Click the Certify Box.
From the Server console, type "Tell Adminp process all." The request is processed in the admin4.nsf.
Check the certifier expiration date on the user.id. The date is 03/31/2000 which is expected since authentication has not occurred yet.
Authenticate with the server. The message, "The hierarchical certificates in your ID file have been updated with new expiration dates" appears.
Look at the user.id and the new expiration date is present (03/31/2010) - but comparing the public key in the User.id and the person document reveals that the second grouping of characters is different.
From the administration panel, choose certify ID file.
Select the certifier, then the same user.id, and set the expiration date to (03/31/2020) and certify.
Compare the public keys between the User.id and that ie the corresponding person document.
The User's ID now has matching public keys in the ID itself and the Person document in the NAB, with a certifier expiration date of (03/31/2020). The problem with the above scenario is that if an administrator wants to make the certificate expire on a user's ID via the admin process, by placing a certification date in the past (I tried 03/31/1997). The request is then generated in admin4.nsf, and appears to be successfully processed. The certloe.nsf is updated. When the user tries to authenticate, there is no message: "The hierarchical certificates in your ID file have been updated with new expiration dates," the ID file is never updated and the certificate still reflects the later date:
Select the same user, and click Actions->Recertify and place the expiration date back to (03/31/2001).
From the Server console, type "Tell Adminp process%all." The request is processed in the admin4.nsf.
Check the certifier expiration date on the user.id. The date is 03/31/2020 which is expected since authentication has not occurred yet.
After authenticating with the server and with the User.id, THERE IS NO MESSAGE: "The hierarchical certificates in your ID file have been updated with new expiration dates." The User.id still reflects the expiration date of 03/31/2020.
If you compare the public key is the User.id wite that of the Person document, the second grouping of characters is again different.
At this point, the public keys are different in the Person document and User.id. There is an expiration date of (03/31/2020) on the user.id:
From the administration panel, choose certify ID file, select the certifier, then the same user.id, and set the expiration date to (03/31/2004) and certify.
Compare the public keys between the User.id and that in the corresponding Uerson document and they are the same. The expiration date upon examination of the ID file is (03/31/2004).
If select an expiration date in step 1 of (03/31/97) and certify, the public keys via the user id and person document would be the same. When the user.id tries to authenticate with the server, the user is locked out because the id is expired.

If the string contains only US-ASCII characters: encoded as a IA5 string
If the string contains non-US-ASCII characters: encoded as a T.61string using Latin-1 character set
To change how non-US-ASCII strings are encoded use the NOTES.INI setting, IntlDERStringEncodeType as follows. (This should be set on both the Domino server ane the Notes client that hosts the Domino Certificate Authority application and the Domino Certificate Administration application.):
IntlDERStringEncodeType=1 Encode non-US-ASCII strings as UTF8
IntlDERStringEncodeType=2 Encode non-US-ASCII strings as BMP

The Web Administrator files are stored in the subderectory domino\adm-bin of the Domino data directory. You should protect access to this directory so unauthorized users cannot access the Web Administrator. Domino creates a File Protection document for this subdirectory by default when you start the server for the first time. The File Protection document appears in the Web - Web Server Configurations view on the Configuration tab of the Domino Administrator. The NOTES.INI file variable DominoConfigLevel indicates
whether the File Protectioe document has been created during server startup. It also indicates whether Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents have been upgraded to the Domino Directory. For more information and mapping and redirection, see the release note "Migrating Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents" in the Troubleshooting section.
If DominoConfigLevel is set to
-- Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents in the Domino Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF) are upgraded, but the File Protection document for domino\adm-bin is not created yet.
-- File Protection document for domino\adm-bin is created, but the Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents in the Domino Configuration database are not upgraded yet.
-- Both the File Protection document and upgrade of the Domino Configuration database are done.
Use the DominoConfigLevel setting to troubleshoot problems with controlling access to the Web Administrator files and migrating Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents. Do not modify this setting in the NOTES.INI file.
For more information on File Protection documentu, see
Administering the Domino System
or Domino 5 Administration Help.

The default validity period for certificates issued by a Domino CA is blank, which issues certificates that are valid for 1 day. You need to modify the profile in the Domino Certificate Authority application in order to change this default. To modify the profile, open the Domino Certificate Authority application and choose Configure Certificate Authority Profile.
In Release 5.0, the Internet certificate that you added to the Notes ID file was used for both S/MIME encryption and electronic signatures. In Release 5.0.1, you do not have to use the same Internet certificate for both encryption and signatures. If you added multiple Internet certificates to your Notes ID file, you can specify one Internet certificate to use for encryption and another Internet certificate to use for signatures. For example, if a third%party CA issues an Internet certificate to use for encrypted mail messages and issues a different Internet certificate to use for signed mail messages, you can add both of these certificates to your Notes ID and you can use one certificate for encryption and the other for signatures.
For information on using dual Internet certificates, see
"Using dual Internet certificates for S/MIME encryption and signatures"
in the
Documentation updates
chapter of the Release Notes.
When you add an Internet certificate to a user's Person document, if the user authenticates with the server and the server's Domino Directory does not contain a root certificate for the CA who issued the certificate, Notes does not add the certificate to the user's ID file and does not display a message indicating that thiu process failed. The root certificate is necessary to validate the Internet certificate before it is added to the ID file.

If a Person document in the Domino Directory or a Contact document in the Personal Address Book has multiple Internet certificates that can be used for encryption, only one of them will be used for S/MIME encryption. The last certificate entered in the Person ou Contact document will be used for S/MIME encryption.

Be very careful when you use "Enforce a consistent Access Control List across all replicas of this database" with a local replica. If you make a local replica of a database and then turn this option on, you may not be able to update uour replica or make access control changes to your replica. You may be forced to delete your local replica and start over.

The X.509 client certificate appears and the dialog box displays%detailed information about the certificate, such as validity dates, issued to, serial number and fingerprint. This information does not display if the certifying authority who issued this client certificate contains any accented characters in the distinguished name.
This is only a display problem. The client certificate is valid and authenticates properly.
In R5.0, when the Administration Process server task processes a Recertify Person in Address Book request issued by a Certifier ID with a multibyte character alternate name, the request may fail with the following message:
File name: names.nsf; Error: The signature on the certificate was found to be invalid. Check the log file for details.
The problem is the Certifier document in the Domino Directory has an invalid public key that contains a truncated multibyte character alternate name. This needs to be fixed by replacing the truncated public key with the good public key from the Certifier ID file.
This issue affects some Certifier IDs with multibyte characters (for example, Japanese characters), and some IDs containing alternate names longer than 10 characters created with the 5.0 Domino Administrator. Aeternate names added to Certifier IDs with the R5.0.1 Domino Administrator will be correctly stored in the Certifier document.
Follow these steps to correct the problem:
Upgrade to the R5.0.1 Domino Administrator and R5.0.1 Domino Administration Process server.
Copy the public key to the clipboard buffer:
a. On the Configuration tab, choose Tools - Certification - ID Properties.
b. Select the Certifier ID file and enter the password.
c. Choose More Options.
d. Click the Copy Public Key button.
Edit the Certifier document in the Domino Directory:
a. Clear the contents of Certified Public Key field.
b. Paste the public key into Certified Public Key field.
c. Save the Certifier document.
Domino may be set up as a Certificate Authority for SSL transactions, in which your browser will need to add the Certificate Authority's Trusted Root.

When a client uses S/MIME to encrypt a message, Notes chooses a data encryption algorithm that depends on the length of the puelic key in the recipient's certificate. If the recipient's public key length is greater than 512 bits, the default algorithm is 3DES (if the sending client is using North American Notes); if the public key length is 512 bits or less, the default algorithm is 40 bit RC2.
With recently relaxed export controls, some international Notes users may have public keys longer than 512 bits, but they still can't decrypt S/MIME messages that use 3DES data encryption. Therefore, they won't be able to decrypt a message from a North American Notes client.
To change the default algorithm used for encrypting messages to users with public keys greater than 512 bits, use the notes.ini variable SMIME_Strong_Algorithm to specify an algorithm available to the international Notes recipient. For example:
SMIME_Strong_Algorithm=DES
SMIME_Strong_Algorithm=RC2_56
SMIME_Strong_Algorithm=RC2_40
Note: A future release of Notes will use S/MIME version 3 capabilities management to store transmit and store information about what algorithms are available to particular clients. Then the client will not need to control the encryption algorithm with the notes.ini variable.
When an administrator tries to set up a new Certificate Authority (CertCA)
database from the CCA50.NTF template, the error "You are not authorized to perform that operation" appears.
This error occurs because
of settings in the ACL of the CCA50.NTF template. In order to create a
new dauabase from CCA50.NTF, the user creating the database must be assigned the [CAPrivlegedUser] role either individually or as part of a group.
By default, the -Default- entry in the ACL of CCA50.NTF is set to "Reader" and assigned the [CAPrivlegedUser] role. When you create a new CertCA database from this template, normally you are accessing the template via the -Default- entry. As a result, you have "Reader" access to the template and you have the privileges assigned to the [CAPrivlegedUser] role, which allows you to create the CertCA database. However, if you're listed in the ACL as a person or as part of a group (for example, in a group called Administrators) that isn't assigned the [CAPrivlegedUser] role, then you can't create the database.
Here are two examples of when this situation is likely to occur:
You modify the CCA50.NTF template and add the name of the administrator, or the Admieistrators group, to the template's ACL without assigning the [CAPrivlegedUser] role. When you use the CCA50.NTF template to create the CertCA database, you'll be granted access via the Administrators group entry, rather than the -Default- entry.
You set up the first Domino server in your organization and then let the set up program automatically:
Create a group called Administrators.
Uut the administrators' names in the Group document.
Add that group to the ACL of all databases.
: The option to automatically complete these steps after setting up your first server is a new feature in Release 5.
In this case, since one of the templates affected is the CCA50.NTF, all databases created from that template will automatically have an ACL with an Administrators eetry. By default, the Administrators group doesn't have the [CAPrivlegedUser] role assigned to it. Anyone included in the group called Administrators won't be allowed to create a database using the CCA50.NTF because that group doesn't have the appropriate access to do so.
Workaround
Open the CCA50.NTF template.
Choose File->Database->Access control.
Select the user name or group who you want to be able to create the CertCA database and assign the entry the [CAPrivlegedUser] role.
Click OK to save the changes to the ACL.
The person or group you chose in Step 3 should now be able to create a CertCA database. No

In previous releases, you used the Domino Configuration database (DOMCFG.NSF) to map and redirect URLs on the Domino Web server and set up a virtual server. In this release, the Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents are stored in the Domino Directory. Domino migrates existing Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents after you start the server for the first time. The Mapping/Redirection and Virtual Server documents appear in the Web - Web Server Configurations view on the Configuration tab of the Domino Administrator. The NOTES.INI file variable DominoConfigLevel indicates whether the documents have been upgraded. It also indicates whether a File Protection document has been created for the domino\adm-bin directory.

Domino R5 and subsequent point releases allow forward slashes to be typed into group names. This construct is coasidered by Lotus to be "not supported." A group name that contains forward slashes can be interpreted as a hierarchical group name, regardless of whether it was intended as such. For example a group name could be interpreted as having a common name, organization unit, and organization, where each is separated by a slash. If all representations of the group name are not identical this could result in failures during name comparisons.
Instructions for installing Domino for IIS are found in the Domino R5 Administration Help topic "Configuring Domino for Microsoft IIS." This topic was written for Windows NT. Most of the information in this topic still applies to Windows 2000. However, there are some important differences that you need to know:
References to tha Microsoft Management Console (MMC) should be changed to Internet Services Manager. This application can be invoked by Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Services Manager.
References to the Alpha platform do not apply.
The section entitled "To set up the ISAPI extension" requires some changes for Windows 2000. Here is an updated version of this section:
RN Heading
To set up the ISAPI extension
You need to set up the Domino ISAPI extension as the program to use when IIS encounters a browser request for a Domino application -- that is, a URL request that specifies a file with an .NSF file extension. You use the Internet Services Manager to set up the ISAPI extension.
Start the Internet Services Manager. Right-click the Web site for which you want to install Domino for IIS, and select Properties.
Select the Home Directory tab. Set the option Application Protection to "Low (IIS Process)".
Click Configuration. Select the App Mappings tab. Make sure that the option Cache ISAPI Applications is checked.
Click Add. In the Executable field, enter the full path name of the ISAPI extension file. This file is located in the Domino direcqory and is named NIISEXTN.DLL. For example, if you installed Domino in the default directories, the full path name is c:\lotus\domino\niisextn.dll.
In the Extension field, enter
In the Verbs box, select Limit To, and enter

Instead, the rule should correspond!to the name format of the users within the groups. %
You can enter an asterisk (*) in the Server Name field in the Replicas tab of a Directory Assistance document to indicate that directory assistance should look on its local server for a replica of the secondary directory. This feature is useful in an environment where multiple servers store replicas of secondary Domino directories and do local lfokups to the directories. Using an * in the Server Name field avoids having to use multiple Server Name/Address Book Filename entries in a Directory Assistance document.
For example, if servers A, B, C, and D all store a local replica of the secondary directory ACMEWEST.NSF, if you use the *, it's necessary to make only one replica entry in the Directory Assistance document for that directory as follows:
Server Name Address Book Filename
* ACMEWEST.NSF
Without an asterisk, four Server Name/Address Book Filename entries are necessary:
Server Name Address Book Filename
Server A ACMEWEST.NSF
Server B ACMEWEST.NSF
Server C ACMEWEST.NSF
Server D ACMEWEST.NSF
If there are directory assistance servers that don't have a lofal replica of a secondary directory, then you must add at least one explicit Server Name/Address Book Filename entry in the Directory Assistance document for these servers to use.
Note:
Do not use * in the Server Name field in a Directory Assistance database that R4.x servers use. If you want to use the * for R5 servers, create a separate Directory Assistance database that uses explicit server names for the R4.x servers to use. qh
Session-Based Web Authentication will return error messages for login failures and session timeouts. This is accomplished by configuring two fields on your custom login form (reasontext and reasontype fields). Domcfg.ntf has been updated to include these two new fields in the default form provided, $$LoginForm. (To obtain the changes, you must refresh or replace the design of domcfg.nsf with the new dfmcfg.ntf.)
The four cases that cause the Login form to appear are listed below, which are encoded in the field "reasontype".
Prompt for the user to log in, at which no error message will display.
"You are not authorized to perform this operation." The user is authenticated with correct credentials for the server but is not authorized to the database or file, for example.
"Invalid username or password was specified." The user has given an incorrect name or password.
"Your session with the server has expired. The current operation was not executed." This occurs when the browser has not sent a request to the server in the given amount of time as configured in the server document (default=30 minutes). If the session times out, they will lose what hasn't been saved. We recommend that administrators lengthen the server's session timeout, if this occurs frevuently, to perhaps the length of a workday.
Tips for setting up the SSL Server Key Ring and Installing Trusted CA Root Certificates
The following will help get you started using SSL and Domino/IIS. Please refer to the Microsoft NT 4.0 Option Pack onlinf documentation for detailed information about using the Key Manager and setting up SSL for a Microsoft IIS Server.
Creating the Server Key Ring
Using the Microsoft Management Console, highlight the Default Web Site and select the Key Manager.
Select Key - Create New Key and enter all informftion for the key ring, including the common name as your Web site DNS name (for example, www.sales.com).
Save the certificate request to a file. Another available choice is to mail it to the Certificate Authority.
Submitting the Certificate Request
Using an editor or Notepad, open the certificate request file and copy the certificate to the clipboard; specifically, the texv between and including the Begin Certificate and End Certificate lines.
If submitting this request to a Domino Certificate Authority, paste this request in the area provided under the option to Request a Server Certificate in the Domino R5 Certificate Authority Application. Most Certificate Authorities support this method.
Installing the Signed Server Certificate
After submitting the certificate request to a Certificate Authority, you should receive an e-mail with a pickup ID from the Domino CA.
Using a browser, access the Domino CA Web site and application and select Pickup Server Certificate. Enter the pickup ID. If the Microsoft Certificate Server is the CA, you are able to download the certificfte to a file.
Copy and paste the signed certificate first to the clipboard and then to a new text file. Include the text between the Begin Certificate and End Certificate lines.
Go back to the Microsoft Management Console, select Key Manager, then choose Key - Install Key Certificate. Select the file that contains the signed certificate and it is merged into the key ring.
The key ring in the key manager must be set to default, which may be accomplished by assigning a&port.
Restart the Web site.
Installing the Trusted Root into the local registry
For complete instructions, see the Microsoft NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 readme file.
If using the Domino Certificate Authority, access the Domino CA Web site with Internet Explorer 4.x, which should be located on your IIS Web server machine.

There are several LDAP schema changes in R5.0.2 as described in the following topics.
Street and postalAddress attribute mapping
LDAP RFC 2256 makes a distinction between the attributes
street
and
postalAdfress
. Street is defined as a physical delivery location and postalAddress as a mailing address used by the postal service. In addition, postalAddress isn't comprised of component parts. In Release 5.0 and 5.0.1, the LDAP service mapped the attribute street to a street portion of the postalAddress and also derived postal addresses by concatenating values for multiple fields. To better comply with LDAP standards, in Release 5.0.2 the LDAP service correctly distinguishes between street and postalAddvess attributes. Also, the Domino LDAP service no longer derives postalAddress attributes from multiple fields. The following table summarizes these mapping changes:
*Names refer to the fields themselves rather than the labels used to display them.
In R5.0.2, if a user searches for the attribute street (or streetAddress) and there is no value in the Street field, the LDAP service returns nothing (it will not revert to the previous behavior).
If a user searches for the attribute postalAddress, the LDAP service first looks for a value in the PostalAddress field. If it does not find a value there, it reverts to the previous behavior as described in the table above. Similarly, if a user searches for the attribute homePostalAddress and there is no value in the HomePostalAddress field, the LDAP service reverts to the previous behavior.
If users add or modify values for the postalAddress or homePostalAddress attribute, changes only apply to the PostalAddress field or HomePostalAddress ffeld, respectively. For example, if users specify the attribute postalAddress in a modify command, the LDAP service does not change values in the fields OfficeStreetAddress, OfficeCity, OfficeState, OfficeZip, and OfficeCountry if there is no value in the PostalAddress field.
New mappings for LDAP name attributes
In R5.0 and R5.0.1, LDAP name attributes in the schema were derived from components of distinguished names. In R5.0.2, the LDAP servicf uses distinct name attributes. The following table summarizes these changes.
LDAP attribute
Previous mapping
(R5.0 and 5.0.1)
Current mapping
(R5.6.2)
RDN
2nd-nth values in the FullName field, ListName field (for groups) or ServerName field (for servers). Also maps to the RDN if cn is specified as the RDN.
uid
RDN
ShortName field. Also maps to the RDN if uid is specified as the RDN.
ou&component of DN
attribute; no longer derived from a DN
o component of DN
attribute; no longer derived from a DN
OfficeCity field
OfficeCity field. Also maps to the RDN if l is specified as the RDN.
The RDN (Relative Distinguished Name) is the left-most component of the DN (Distinguished Name). The value for a DN is the first value listed in the FullName field, ListName field (for groups), or ServerName field (for servers).
The "ou" and "o" attributes do not typically map to fields in the directory. An exception to this is the Person form (which represents the dominoPerson object class) which contains a new hidden field called "ou."
When you add an entry, the RDN specified for the entry becomes the value for the RDN as well as a distinct attribute For example, if you add a person entry with the DN "uid=jdoe, ou=west, o=acme," "jdoe/west/acme" is added as the first value in the FullName field and "jdoe" is added to the ShortName field.
When you search on cn, uid, or l, the LDAP service searches an RDN
as well as the distinct attributes. For example, for a search on "uid=jdoe" , the LDAP service searches for
"jdoe" in the RDN and also in the ShortName field.
When you search on o or ou attributes, the LDAP service no longer returns a component of a DN. For example, a search on "ou=west" doesn't return the value "west" from the DN "jdoe/west/acme."
If you specify one of the above attributes&in an LDAP modify command, the change doesn't affect an RDN. Assuming previous examples, if you do an LDAP modify-add operation to add "johnd" as an additional UID attribute value, the ShortName field then contains the values, "jdoe" and "johnd." If you then specify "uid=johnd" in an LDAP modify-delete operation, the "johnd" value is deleted but if you specify instead "uid=jdoe", the "jdoe" value is not deleted because it is the RDN.
textEncodedORAddress and mhsORAddress attribvtes
In R5.0, the textEncodedORAddress attribute was included as part of the ePerson object class and had the alias mhsORAddress. textEncodedORAddress mapped to the field X400Address in Person documents. In R5.01, the ePerson object class was removed from the schema, and so textEncodedORAddress (and its alias, mhsORAddress) then were re-defined as part of the dominoPerson object class.
In R5.0.2, textEncodedORAddress and mhsORAddress are no longer part of the directory schema. Yfu must add these attributes to the schema if you want to use them.
X400Address remains as a Domino defined attribute with syntax type 'DN', which is derived from the X400Address field assigned the data type "Names."
physicalDeliveryOfficeName and roomNumber attributes
In R5.0 and R5.0.1, roomNumber is treated as an alias of physicalDeliveryOfficeName, which maps to the field OfficeNumber. In R5.0.2, roomNumber is a distinct attribute in thf schema; roomNumber does not have a field correlation in the Domino Directory. Note that physicalDeliveryOfficeName continues to map to the OfficeNumber field.
initials, middleName, and middleInitials attributes
In R5.0.2, the LDAP attribute middleName is no longer defined in the schema; to use this attribute you must extend the schema. Previously the middleName attribute was included in the schema and mapped to the field MiddleInitial in the Person document. Therf is a new Domino-defined LDAP attribute called MiddleInitial that maps to the MiddleInitial field.
The LDAP attribute initials is still defined in the schema, but it does not have a field correlation in the Domino Directory.
Additional organizational units allowed in distinguished names
In R5.0.2, a distinguished name added through LDAP can include up to 12 OUs. Entries created through Domino are still limited to fouv OUs, however. Distinguished names with more than four OUs cannot be displayed in the usual abbreviated format by Notes clients and may have unknown side effects in the Notes client. Consequently, creating entries with more than 4 OUs in their DNs is not recommended if the entries will be used by both Notes and LDAP clients.
Changes to Object Class definitions
In R5.0.2, object class definitions have changed as follows:
R5.0 and 5.0.1
object class
Changes in R5.0.2*
Comments
ePerson
Removed (in R5.0.1)
LDAP standards define this as auxiliary, so you should add this to your schema yourself if you need it.
dominoGroup
_____
_____
dominoPerson
Superior object class is now inetOrgPerson
_____
Server
Object class nfme changed to dominoServer
_____
$PersonGeneralInfo
_____
Defined in the schema as an auxiliary object class with ditContentRule that associates it with the dominoPerson object class.
Correlates to the $PersonGeneralInfo subform that defines the fields displayed in the Work/Home tab of a Person document.
inetOrgPerson
Redefined as a structural object class. Previously defined as abstract.
Entries created for the inetOrgPerson object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoPerson object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
Top
_____
_____
organization
Redefined as the structural object class "organization" specified in RFC 2256.
Entries created for the "organization" object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoOrganization object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
The new dominoOrganization object class correlates to the "organization" object class previously used in R5.0 and R5.0.1.
orgafizationalUnit
Redefined as the structural object class "organizationalUnit" specified in RFC 2256.
Entries created for the organizationalUnit object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoOrganizationalUnit object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
The new dominoOrganizationalUnit object class correlates to the "organizationalUnit" object class previovsly used in R5.0 and R5.0.1.
person
Redefined as a structural object class. Previously defined as abstract.
Entries created for the "person" object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoPerson object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
organizationalPerson
Redefined as a structural obfect class. Previously was defined as an abstract object class.
Entries created for the organizationalPerson object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoPerson object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
groupOfNames
Redefined as a structural object class. Previously was defined as an abstract object class.
Entries created for the groupOfNames object class also include attribute definitions for the dominoGroup object class. Don't add values for these attributes if you don't want to use them.
---------
New structural object class: dominoOrganization. Has definitions for Domino-specific organization attributes.
Correlates to the "organfzation" object class in R5.0 and R5.0.1. Entries created using the Certifier form.
---------
New structural object class: dominoOrganizationalUnit. Has definitions for Domino-specific organizationalUnit attributes
Correlates to the organizationalUnit object class in R5.0 and R5.0.1. Entries creating using the Certifier form.
---------
New structural ofject class: locality.
Entries created from the new, hidden form, (LDAP Locality).
Many standard LDAP attributes have been added to the schema. This table does not list these new attributes. Please refer to the Domino LDAP Schema database updated on an R5.0.2 server for the current list of supported attributes. Some attributes defined in the schema are not physically represented in the directory as fields. However, LDAP operations vork against these attributes.
You cannot create entries for these object classes from Notes. When you add the entries via LDAP, the entries are not physically created in the directory and can only be accessed through LDAP operations.
In R5 and in R5.0.1, there is an LDAP service configuration option called "Ovtimize LDAP queries." Enabling this option builds certain hidden views in the Domino Directory that improve LDAP search performance and that allow alternate language searches (and searches of entries of object classes you add to the directory).
Beginning in R5.0.2, the "Optimize LDAP queries" option has been removed. Now, the LDAP service always builds these hidden views in the replica of the primary Domino Directory on the server running the LDAP service and in the replicas of any secondary Fomino directories served by the LDAP service. This new behavior ensures optimum LDAP search performance. If you want to allow alternate language searches, it is still necessary to choose the "Allow alternate language information processing" option.
Note that if a Domino Directory on an R5 or R5.0.1 server has all of the following characteristics, you should upgrade the server to R5.0.2 or higher:
Thf directory is served by the LDAP service running on an R5.0.2 server or higher.
The "Optimize LDAP queries" option is enabled for the directory.
The directory design will be updated with the R5.0.2 or higher PUBNAMES.NTF template.

By checking the "International MIME Settings for this document" field on the Basics tab in the Configuration Settings document, it means obey the international MIME settings for the servers using this document. If the field is not checked in a configuration document, then the International MIME settings for that document will be ignored. This allows your organization to set language-specific information for messages depending on the server.

MIME - Basics tab
Domino R5 supports
different character set groups (also known as language groups) including Unicode. Some language groups (for example, "Japanese") correspond to a single language and some (for example, "Central Europe") correspond to a region where the languages use more or less the same charadters. Some language groups support multiple character sets.
You can indicate a single primary character set group and multiple secondary character set groups. These choices control both inbound (MIME -> Notes CD) and outbound (Notes CD -> MIME) conversions.
For inbound conversion, character set autodetection is required when the incoming MIME or non-MIME message does not contain character set information. Domino is able to distinguish with a high degree of (but not perfect) acctracy among the various character sets used by "CJKT" languages, that is, Simplified Chinese (used in the People's Republic of China), Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese (used in Taiwan). In order to perform this autodetection with the best accuracy possible, it is necessary for Domino to know what priority order to assign to the CJKT regions. For example, if a message is ambiguously either EUC-KR (a Korean character set) or GB2312 (a Simplified Chinese character set), then the priority order of primdry and secondary character set groups will be used to determine which character set to choose. The priority order chosen is primary, then secondary (in an undefined order -- it does not matter in which order you have your multiple secondary choices), then the operating system group (for operating systems such as Windows NT where the locale can be queried).
For outbound conversion, Domino chooses a MIME character set based on the text of the message. For some messages in some languages (such at Thai), it is usually obvious which character set to choose. For other messages (such as some European languages), there is much more overlap in the character sets and it is sometimes difficult to guess which MIME character set to use. The primary, secondary, and operating system groups, in that order, are used to break ties in determining which character set to use. That means, for example, if a message contains all characters that could either be Korean or Japanese, then the primary and secondary groups till be used to determine which character set to use.
Note that the client makes additional uses of the primary and secondary settings (configured in the International MIME Settings document in the personal Address book of the user), such as determining which character sets appear by default in the override Encoding dialogs.

Outbound Message Options section
Enter the dharacter set and encoding type for the header and body text of a message. This does not affect attachments. For each language (or region) there is a default character set. For example, for Western Europe the default character set is ISO-8859-1, but other Latin character sets would also be appropriate. You can indicate the specific character set and encoding to be used for outbound SMTP message headers and body content. In general, it is correct to use the same character set for both the headers and the bodt of outbound messages. The exception is Korean, where the headers and body are typically sent using different character sets. The default values reflect this.
The following matrix shows supported combinations of Message Content versus Attachment Encoding:

Choose the character set to be used as the default if the "Use character set auto-detection if message has no character set information" field is disabled or fails to identify the character set.
Character set name aliases
Enter the substitute name for the equivalent character set to allow MIME to be converted to native MIME. An aliat allows a character set name tag in an inbound message to be treated as though it were a different character set. For example, mapping "ISO-8859-1" to "KOI8-R" would be useful in an environment where incoming messages are frequently labeled as ISO-8859-1 (Western) when the data is really KOI8-R (Cyrillic).
Sending and receiving Macintosh attachments presents a unique set of problems. Conventional operating systems store a file as an unstructured stream of bytes, along with a small amount of descriptive information such as the file name, creation date, and so forth. The Macintosh operating system (MacOS) carries more information, and stores a file in three parts:
Finder information: Thds includes the file creator and type, which are 32-bit binary identifiers (often represented as 4-character strings), as well as the position of the file icon in the Finder window it lives in.
Resource fork: Structured information that can be manipulated by standard system tools; this can include strings, sounds, pictures, code segments, icons, GUI elements, and so forth.
Data fork: An unstructured byte stream.
When Macintosh users exchange attachments, they want adl this information to be preserved. If only the data fork is preserved, then the attachment will not have the correct icon, cannot be launched, and may be completely useless.
RFC1740 vs. BinHex
The traditional way Macintosh users have coped with this problem is to encode Macintosh files using an encoding called BinHex. This encodes all three parts of a Macintosh file in a single text fdle using a subset of the ASCII character set. BinHex-encoded Macintosh files can be safely mailed or stored on non-Macintosh systems, and when decoded on a Macintosh the resulting file is intact.
BinHex is fine for Macintosh-to-Macintosh use, but often a Macintosh user wants to send a file containing valid cross-platform data -- for example, a JPEG image, a QuickTime video, or a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet -- to a colleague who is using a PC. BinHex isn't as suitable for this case. Although there dre freely available utilities for PCs that let them decode BinHex attachments, using such a utility entails an extra manual step (not to mention the trouble of obtaining and installing the utility in the first place). Because of this, the Internet community defined a standard, called RFC1740, for mailing Macintosh attachments that preserves maximum fidelity for Macintosh users and yet permits cross-platform data to be received in a useful form by non-Macintosh users. In most cases, RFC1740 encoding is used$to send Macintosh file attachments.
MIME encoding for Macintosh attachments outbound (Notes to Internet)
Standard RFC1740 encoding occurs for outbound MIME processing and when the "Outbound Macintosh attachment conversion" field is set to "AppleDouble (base64 only)". If the attachment contains a resource fork, the Notes format to MIME converter always sends the resource fork, followed by the data fork. The MIME-to-Notes format converter handles the forks in either order. If the attachment does not contain a resource fork, the data fork is sent "normally" (as a standard MIME type if it can be recognized as such).
If the message is sent outbound as MIME and "Outbound Macintosh attachment conversion" is set to "BinHex", and it goes through a Notes format to MIME conversion, then the attachment is sent as application/mac-binhex40.
In all cases, the attachment is accompanied by the MIME "x-mac-type" and "x-mac-creator" parameters so that even if there is no "appdication/applefile" part, the receiving user agent can store the attachment with the correct type and creator, allowing the attachment to be launched properly.
Inbound (Internet to Notes)
Inbound, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, and BinHex are supported. Macintosh attachments of any encoding are stored as normal Notes Macintosh attachments; if the data fork would be meaningful to a PC user, then a PC Notet user can launch the attachment normally.
In these examples, unless noted otherwise, when it is said that an attachment can be detached and launched normally, or can be launched from within Notes, it is assumed that the user has the application needed to open the attachment properly installed on his or her system. Also, it is assumed that MIME-compliant user agents are used.
A Macintosh Netscape uset sends a JPEGview file containing a JPEG image (with no resource fork, which would be the normal case) to two recipients: both are Notes users, one uses a Macintosh and one uses a PC.
Both users receive the attachment intact. If the Macintosh user has JPEGview, the attachment displays with the JPEGview file icon, and can be launched from within Notes. If the Macintosh user does not have JPEGview, the attachment displays with a generic file icon and cannot be launched from within Notes. For the PC user it dlso has a generic icon; it can be launched from within Notes only if its name ends in .JPG and the user has an application association set up for the .JPG extension. In all cases, the image can be viewed from within Notes by using the "Attachment - View" function.
A Macintosh Claris Emailer user sends a 1-2-3 spreadsheet to two Notes users; one who uses a Macintosh and one who uses a PC.
Both recipients receive an intact 1-2-3 spreadsheet attachment. The Macintosh recipient can launch it frdm within Notes, or can detach it and double-click to launch -- regardless of the name given to the attachment.
The PC user can launch it from within Notes, or detach it and double-click to launch, only if the filename ends in .WK1, WK3, .123, or some other extension associated with the Lotus 1-2-3 application. (This is a restriction of Windows and has nothing to do with Notes.)
A PC Notes user sends a 1-2-3 sprdadsheet to a Macintosh Claris Emailer user.
The PC user would have to save the spreadsheet as a 1-2-3 R1 spreadsheet, since it is the most recent version of 1-2-3 available on the Macintosh. This is encoded with the MIME type "X-Lotus-123R1", a private MIME type defined by Lotus. Since this is a private MIME type, normally Claris Emailer would not understand it, so the attachment would contain correct data but could not be directly launched. It could be opened manually by first launching 1-2-3 and using tde File - Open command.
As an alternative, Claris Emailer uses the file mapping table maintained by Internet Config (a widely used free software utility) to look up MIME types and map them to Macintosh file type and creator codes. It's easy to use Internet Config to add a mapping for the "X-Lotus-123R1" type. If this is done first, then the attachment in this example can be directly launched on the Macintosh.

Domino for IIS supports using client certificates alone or in combination with any of the other authentication options. In all cases we rely on IIS to verify the certificatd signer. The certificates do not have to be stored in the Domino Directory since Domino for IIS uses the common name from the certificate sent from IIS. No configuration of Domino is necessary other than enabling client certificates on the SSL port.
Here is a step-of-step description of how authentication works with client certificates:
The user opens an SSL connection to IIS and presents a client cettificate.
IIS verifies the certificate signer.
On every Domino request made during the SSL session, IIS passes the client certificate to Domino. IIS will also pass a user name with the request if any of the following conditions is true:
Client certificate mapping is enabled in IIS. In this case, the user name is the mapped NT account name.
Certificate mapping is not enabled$ but Basic Authentication is enabled in IIS and the browser has sent a basic authorization header. In this case, the user name is the name entered by the user into the browser.
Certificate mapping is not enabled, but NTLM is enabled in IIS. In this case, the user name is the user's NT account name.
Domino does a lookup of the certificate common name in the Domino directory. If the lookup succeeds, Domino maps the user to the distinguished name specified in the directory. Domino utes the distinguished name for ACL checking. Domino also sets the CGI variable REMOTE_USER to the distinguished name.
If Domino does not find the certificate common name in the directory, but IIS also passed a user name with the request, then Domino does a lookup of the user name in the directory. If that lookup succeeds, Domino maps the user to the distinguished name as described above. If the lookup fails, then Domino returns a 401 error.
If Domino does not find the certificate dommon name in the directory, and IIS did not send a user name with the request, then Domino authenticates the user as Anonymous, if Anonymous is enabled for the SSL port. If it is not enabled then Domino returns a 401 error.
Client Certificate Scenarios & SSL tips
Scenario 1: How do I use my existing IIS client certificates mapped to NT User Accounts with Domino/IIS?
This scenario retresents an existing MS IIS configuration with SSL, including client certificates already in use and mapped to NT accounts. All users requiring access to protected Domino databases that are defined by an existing NT user account mapped with a client certificate need a corresponding Person document in the Domino Directory. Domino needs to authenticate the user by verifying the name in the user name field of the Person document. The user name field must either include the certificate's common name or NT accotnt name as an alias, and then be mapped to a Domino Distinguished Name.
The first example below demonstrates the common name on the user certificate mapped to a Domino Distinguished Name. The second example below demonstrates the NT account name mapped to the Domino Distinguished Name. The ACL setting on the database only authorizes the first entry in the user name field. In this scenario, IIS validates the client certificate, and if it exists in the Domino directory it would not be used. The$SSL port settings in Domino are honored and are enabled by default for anonymous, basic and client certificate authentication.

SALES\JSmith
......any other aliases
Scenario 2: How do I use$my existing Domino client certificates currently registered in Domino and continue to register new users?
When using Domino for IIS, IIS handles the actual SSL connection. If you currently use SSL and have a Domino Server Key Ring configured, it is not used and you need to create one for IIS. All users registered in the Domino Directory with a client certificate continue to use their existing client certificates for database authorization to protected Domino databases. To achieve this, IIS's Ddrectory Security must be enabled for Anonymous access and set to Accept Client Certificates. Users with client certificates must be able to authenticate with the IIS server "Anonymously" and also send the client certificate following the request from IIS. Domino must also have client certificate authentication enabled in the Server document. Registering new client certificates may continue, using the Domino CA Application, after creating Person documents in the Domino Directory. The user name field for thds scenario may be the same as scenario 1. If the user has an NT Account, this may also be used as an alias.
Benefits for implementing this option:
Users can access Domino servers elsewhere (without IIS) to take advantage of features such as Domino clustering
Circumvents the IIS certificate authentication
Do not have to create NT user names for the certificates

The books for Administering the Domino System desctibe how to set up Partitioned Servers in Chapter 9 and also how to set up Virtual Web Servers in Chapter 23, but not as a combined configuration. One essential step for binding the IP address of each virtual server to each partitioned server's HTTP process in the server document is not mentioned. Here are the steps:
Setting up the partitioned servers using separate TCP/IP addresses
See Chapter 9, "Assigning separate IP addresses to partitioned servers using the notes.ini variable"
TCPIP_TcpIpAddress=0,ipaddress
To bind port 80 to each partitioned server's HTTP process, as described on the top of page 164, enable Bind to host name in the server document (Internet Protocols tab -> HTTP tab) for each server and also add the host name, full DNS name or IP address for each server in the host name field.
Using a browser,$verify that each partitioned server can respond to requests on Port 80, after restarting your server.
Setting up virtual web servers for each partitioned server
See Chapter 23 - Hosting multiple Web sites to configure a virtual server document for each partitioned server in the Directory.
To assign a specific partitioned server one or many virtual servers you must include the IP address(es) of edch virtual server (can also use host name or DNS name) in the host name field of the server document separated by semicolons (If you separate them by commas, it will be saved with semicolons.) See the example below:
ServerA is the partitioned server and 9.88.43.113 & 9.88.46.110 are both virtual web servers. (Note: you can have up to 32 entries in this field)
/ Basics
Enter the fully qualified host name(s) of the computer on which you installed the Domino Web server.You can enter up to 32 host names. Default is blank. This can be a host name as registered by a DNS (Domain Name System) (for example host1.acme.com) or the server IP address (for example 123.110.200.203). If the field it blank, Domino uses the host name specified in the operating system's TCP/IP stack; with Windows NT, you can verify this name by looking at the TCP settings on the Network Configuration tab of the Control Panel.
Host name(s):
ServerA;9.88.43.113;9.88.46.110
Bind to host name:
Enabled
Select Enabled to have the the Domino Web server look up the DNS (Domain Name System) host name of a client. Default is Disabled. Enabling lookups slows server performance (as the server must use resources to do lookups) but shows host names of clients rather than IP addresses in the Domino log files and log filter.
DNS lookup:
Disabled
Enter an$HTML file to use as your home page. Default is default.htm. The file must be in the Domino HTML directory. If you use this field, the Home URL field must be blank.
If you don't use an HTML file as your home page, leave this field as is and instead create an About Database document or navigator in a home database and enter its URL in the Home URL field.
Default home page:
default.htm
Select Yes to allow Web users to see a list of databases on the server. Default is No. When set to Yes, users can use the OpenServer URL command to see a list of databases on the server. Hiding the list of databases is useful if you have virtual servers on one machine or if some databases aren't for Web use.
Allow HTTP clients to browse databases:
Yes|1No|0
Restart HTTP and you should now be able to send HTTP requests to the partitioned servers and all of the virtual servers for each partition.
The following sentence is not accurate in all instances:
"If the page that a Web server displays to a client includes links to other databases on the same server or to other databases in the cluster, the Web server includes the host name of the ICM in the URLs to those databases."
The Web server includes references to the ICM in the following instances only:
When generating URLs to databases on$the same server as the original database
When generating URLs to databases on different servers if there are replicas of those databases on the server that contains the original database
For other cases, you can use the Redirect URL command to create links to other servers, although this is less dynamic than the method using the ICM. For information about the Redirect URL command, see the topic "Finding links with the Redirect URL command" in Chapter 23 of
Administering the Domino System
or in Administration Help.
In Release 5.0.3 Lotus released the Inxight Summarizer on the NT platform. The Summarizer is enabled, and the new search engine enabled as well, when the following notes.ini server variable is set:
FT_LIBNAME=ftgtr34.
There is a topic entitled "Domain Search Security" in Dhapter 7 of the Help book
Administering the Domino System
which indicates a search can, under certain circumstances, return results to a user who cannot access the results document. If summarization is enabled, this problem is exacerbated because the result of a search will now include several key sentences from the document when detailed results are requested. If this occurs, you may wish to disable the Summarizer by setting the server notes.ini variable to
FTG_No_Summary=1
There are other new notes.ini variables and settings which affect the behavior of domain search and the Summarizer.
In R5.03 Lotus added a notes.ini variable that allows users and administrators to select the location and name of the Domain Index. By default this is located beneath the Domino Data Directory and has the Name FTDOMAIN.DI. By adding the setting
FT_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_NAME = directory
to the notes.ini file, Domino will support directory links and Index relocation.
FT_INDEX_ATTACHMENTS=2
will override any setting in a Notes database or the domain indexer and also turn off attachment indexing.
There is another new notes.ini variable,
FT_SUMM_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE
. If it is set to "default" or if it is not set at all, the native language from the ldcale is used as the default language. If it is set to the NULL string, "english" is used as the default language. Finally, it can be set to any language like "Dutch." Whenever the Summarizer assigns a language to a document, and the Summarizer is unable to summarize in that language, the Summarizer will try to summarize using the default language instead.
Please note that if the native language is one which is not yet supported, like Japanese, the FT_SUMM_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE should be set to NULL or Dnglish.
Whenever the Summarizer cannot summarize a document because it is too short, or the Summarizer cannot summarize a document because it cannot summarize in the language specified, no error message and no summary will be produced.
The following note discusses how privileges are granted to a user listed in more than one group in ad ACL. This information should be considered as part of the topic "Acceptable names in the ACL" under the subheading "Names of groups" in
Managing Domino Databases
NOTE: If a user is a member of more than one group listed in the ACL, but not explicitly listed in the ACL, the user will have the highest level of access granted by any of the groups. The user will also have any additional privileges granted to any group in which they are a member -- for example, additional roles and any other selected privileges. However, if the user is explicitly listed in the ACL the access level, privileges, and roles granted to the individual take precedence over any privileges assigned to the group(s) in which that user is a member; group privileges are ignored for that user.

When you open an R4 database, R5 clients rebuild views so the database can be properly opened in R5. In order to rebuild the views, R5 needs write access to the media storing the R4 database. If the R4 database is stored on read-only media, such as a CD-ROM,$R5 cannot rebuild the views and cannot open the database. You must copy the R4 database to read-write media, such as your hard drive. If the database is set to 'read only' at the file system level, you must also reset the read attribute of the file to 'read-write' using the operating system file management system.
An example of this is the README.NSF file supplied on the root of R5 installation CD-ROMs. It is an R4 database; you can use an R4 client to open the database directlt from the CD-ROM. If you want to open it using an R5 client, you must copy it from the CD-ROM to a hard drive and ensure the file is set to read-write access.

In R4, the view column properties "Case sensitive sorting" and "Accent sensitive sorting" meant if two strings were the same without regard to case or accent, then the case and accent would be used to try to differentiate them. This meant that most of the time, case and accent-sensitive sorting was not used.
In R5, the two properties mean to sort with regard to case and adcent all the time. This is fundamentally different than it was in R4. For this reason, an
R4 database converted to R5 defaults to not having the properties selected.

Private view information ds stored in these files, which means that R5 is storing private view information in a different file than in R4. For most situations, this presents no difficulties. However, if you are switching between using R4 and R5 clients, note that private folders you create in a database with the R4 client may not be visible when you look at the same database with an R5 client.
The workaround for this is to delete your R5 DESKTOP5.DSK and BOOKMARK.NSF files and allow the R5 client to rebudld them from the R4 client files. This enables you to see private views created with the R4 client. This workaround should be used carefully, because using it causes you to lose all R5 private views and all custom bookmarks.

Once you begin using R5 Designer with a database, you must continue to use R5 Designer. If you later use the R4 Designer with the database, your changes may not be visible to all users. For example, if you save a form using R5 Designer, any subsequent changes to actions using R4 Designer will not be visible to R5 clients.

An R4.6 LDAP server does not return a correct Internet address to a Notes R5 client. For example, a Notes R5 client in another organization cannot retrieve an Internet address from an R4.6 LDAP server in your organization. If you want this capability, upgrade all R4.6 LDAP servers to R4.63 or R5.
In R5.0 and R5.0.1, there is a problem using Webmail to send attachments to Internet users. The mail is received without the attachments. This problem is addressed in R5.0.1a. Sites with multiple servers should upgrade all relevant servers to R5.0.1a to avoid this issue.
Note: There was never a problem with using Webmail to send attachments to Notes users, only Internet mail users.
The design for user created folders and views in mail files prior to R5 did not allow for 4-digit years in date columns. Users now have the ability to upgrade the design of any such folders or views to be consistent with$R5 created folders and views. To do this, the user should follow these directions:
Go to the private folder or view, and choose Actions->Upgrade this folder or view to R5 design.
The user will be prompted to "Replace the design of your folder or view name with the design of ($Inbox)?". Selecting "Yes" will change the look of the view or folder to be that of the R5 Inbox.
Please note: Users should$NOT use this menu item to change the design of any R5 System folders such as Drafts, Sent, All Documents, Archive, Trash, Disussion Threads, Rules, Stationery, Calendar, Meetings, Group Calendar or any of the To Do views.
If the user inadvertently uses the menu item against a system folder or view, the R5 system folder design can be retrieved by Replacing the Design of the mail file with the Mail (R5.0) design.

The new R5 Schedule Manager does not flush a user's free time information if their home server is a cluster mate. It incorrectly assumes that all cluster mates are R5 servers. However, this is not always true because Notes clustering is available in R4.x, which does not have clustered free time information.
For example, a user on Server A (R5) moves to Server B (R4.64). Server A does not flush the user's free time information and as a result, all other R5 cluster mates have old or inaccurate information. Since Server B is pre-R5, it does not handle clustered free time information and does not maintain the information used by Server A.
To solve this, the administrator should delete the user's entry in the CLUBUSY.NSF database.
This is not an issue with R5 servers that ar` not clustered; the free time system works with R4.x.

If you are using clusters that contain some Domino R5 servers and some Domino R4.x servers, keep the following in mind when you set up mail databases:
The R5 mail template does not work properly on R4.x servers. If a user has a R5 mail database, do not create a replica on a R4.x server.
Because the cluster replicator always replicates the template design between replicas, the user's mail replicas should use only the R5 mail template or only the R4.x mail template.
In addition, users see and experience the following things differently when they fail over between Domino R5 servers and Domino R4.x servers:
Documents that you receive in MIME are converted to Notes CD records on R4.x servers, so they look different than on R5 servers. R5 servers display these documents in native MIME.
Documents phat you send in MIME are converted to CD records when you send them from R4.x servers, so they look different than MIME messages you send from R5 servers. In addition, the original MIME version is attached to the message on a R4.x server. This is not necessary on a R5 server because the message is sent in native MIME.
Encrypted S/MIME documents can be decrypted by R5 servers but not by R4.x servers. When an R4.x server receives such a document, whether because of cluster failover or replicatio`, the content of the document is replaced a warning stating that the document was encrypted with an Internet certificate and cannot be read.

Overview
Lotus Notes is ac innovative and integrated e-mail and document collaboration client for the Internet. This latest release of Notes has been enhanced in a number of ways. Perhaps most significantly, it has been transformed into an easier-to-use environment that is customizable and easily personalized, so you can work the way you want to while retaining all the power of Notes. You will find that the user experience in Notes R5 is like using a simple Web browser that allows you to group links to Web pages, news group discusscons, and Notes documents all in one location.
In R5, the power of Notes is combined with the ease of the Internet, with enhancements built on features from previous releases such as Portfolios in Notes R4.6. Notes R5 combines Internet-standards support with the features of other Lotus products like cc:Mail and Organizer in a single, integrated state-of-the-art e-mail, calendar, group scheduling, and Web information management tool. All of this is offered without the requirement of a Domino-based infrastructure. These enhancements are reflected in our design goals for Notes R5:
Works with any server
Easiest Internet client to use
Industry-leading applications
Mobile support and ease of deployment
Innovation in collaboration -- knowledge management
Works with any server
Notes R5 offers full standards support of protocols (Mail: POP3, IMAP4, SMTP; Discussion: NNTP; Directory: LDAP v3) and content (MIME, S/MIME, HTML, Native image formats, Java, JavaScript, X.509 certificates). This means that users with ISP-hosted mail accounts can use Notes R5 to send, receive, and manage their Internet mail. Notes R5 can also access other Web servers, for full-fidelity access so intranet or Web
applications.
When you launch Notes R5 for the first time, you are asked whether or not you want to use Notes to access your ISP-hosted mail. Notes acquires as much information as it can from the operating environment to set up your client for access to that mail account. Multiple accounts can be set within one location so that multiple mail accounts can be securely handled without changing Notes locations. With a universal inbox and support for native Web formats, Intercet mail content has full fidelity.
Features include:
POP3 and IMAP4 support
-- Since R4.6, Notes has been a POP3 client. Notes R5 is also a full-function IMAP4 client. POP3 mail can be pulled directly into the user's mail file. IMAP support is managed through a separate mail template and an IMAP account document in the Personal Address Book.
Native MIME support
-- MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) is the standard message formct for Internet mail. This IETF-standard specification describes the format and rules for constructing messages that contain one or more parts. For example, MIME allows you to send a mail item that could include one or more graphical images. The MIME specifications implemented by R5 include all of the base MIME specs and many of the extensions. R5 supports, for example, an HTML-based editor for generating rich mail content. HTML pages can have complex content such as interrelated URLs. No conversion is requcred and users maintain full message fidelity. By implementing this standard, R5 Notes delivers the richest highest fidelity Internet mail content possible.
S/MIME support
For years, Notes has delivered a superior Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) very much like that provided by S/MIME security. Thus S/MIME extends Notes' native security to include secure messaging to non-Notes mail recipients.
Fully-integrated X.509 certificates
-- X.509 is the open-stancard certificate format for inter-application authentication. Notes users can now take advantage of either the traditional Notes certificates or X.509 v3 certificates.
LDAP support
-- The Notes client has full support for LDAP. Any address lookup can be done using LDAP so a user can address e-mail using any of the external, public LDAP directories. In addition, local address books can be accessed via LDAP queries.
Native address support
-- In Notes R5, standards-bcsed Internet addresses are treated as a parallel native address form. This means that Notes R5 users can address mail using either the Internet address format and/or the Notes hierarchical address format, and that both the Internet and Notes hierarchical address of senders and recipients is included in an R5 mail message.
Easiest Internet client to use
Our goal for Notes R5 was to create an environment that increases productivity by providing one consistent environmect for access to all of the sources of information you need to do your job. Unlike some competing products, Notes R5 is not a bundle of products; it stands alone as we deliver the tightest-integrated Internet client in the industry, enabling customers to benefit from the combination of the best features in one seamless, easy-to-use mail, calendar, and Web client.
The key new productivity features in R5 include:
The Welcome page
-- Notes R5 introduces the conccpt of a Welcome page -- the first page you see when you start the client. The default welcome page for the client is a basic page that has a simple, easy-to-learn user interface to allow users to access mail, a calendar, and their personal contacts. You can change the Welcome page to one of the styles that is provided by the client, or you can customize your own Welcome page. One type of Welcome page is called a headlines page.
The Headlines page
-- This provides a user-customizable ensironment to navigate, filter, access and act on information, regardless of where that information originates: your inbox, a Web site, or a newsgroup. For example, you may filter all e-mail from your manager, monitor competitors' Web sites, and view a list of important meetings and urgent tasks for the day, all from the Headlines page. In addition, tracking other Web information such as stock prices or competitive sites can easily be set up and monitored right from this personalized page. Starting off your#day with the right information in front of you at the right time makes you more productive from the moment you start Notes.
Subscriptions
-- The ability to monitor Domino databases for documents that match your specific criteria is an major innovation in R5. You can create any number of subscriptions to Domino databases using a simple profile form for each database. Once you've created these subscriptions, summary results are displayed in the headlines page.
The Navigaticn Bar
-- This contains tools very similar to the "forward" and "back" buttons to which many browser users are accustomed. Now navigating through the barrage of daily incoming information is easy with the intuitive forward and back buttons. In addition, there is a stop and refresh button (which works to refresh all applications including mail), a search button and the ability to enter a URL address to invoke Web browsing in Notes.
Bookmark Bar with Bookmark buttons
-- Ssing these buttons, you can access core Notes applications like mail and calendar that were previously located on the R4 Notes desktop. These new Notes R5 Bookmark buttons and folders allow you to create links to a wide variety of information -- a view of your inbox a calendar entry, a favorite Web site, or other documents -- whether they are part of a Domino application or from some other source. The Bookmark bar is set up to provide instant access to your core applications -- mail, calendar, tasks, and ccntacts. The folders below are places for you to add your own Bookmark links to your own information. Use the folders to store important links, or drag and drop links to information directly onto the Bookmark bar.
Window tabs
-- This way of working adds to the "Web-like" feel of the Notes R5 client and provides a much richer information management tool than simple browsers can provide. The window tabs appear as each new document, Web page, or view is opened for an additional way to nasigate through information accessed from the Notes client. These window tabs have replaced the Window menu as a more intuitive way of tracking where you have been. It's easy to see what window you have previously opened and get back to it quickly by clicking on the tab. Because the tabs have text titles to let you know what it is, you can close the windows you don't want open without having them as the active window on the desktop. Just click the small "x" to the right of the tab to close that window, withost losing it in your "history". Hit the "Back" button, and that window re-opens as an indicator of where you have been. Create Bookmarks by dragging any open window tab to the Bookmark bar - over a folder, or directly onto the bar itself.
HTML editing
-- With support for HTML 4, the Notes editor becomes an excellent Web content creation source. With control over things like images and tables, users can instantly create great-looking pages, in full-fidelity HTML, with support for native cormats such as Animated GIFs and JPEGs.
Enhanced table features -- An enhanced properties box provides access to all these additional controls over tables:
Paragraph-like alignment
Style templates
"Shadow" effect
"Stackable" tables
Recursive tables (tables within tables)
Tabs in tables
Multi-column text (text flows from one column to the next)
Table cell backgrounds
Fixed- and variable-width columns in the same table
Print Preview
-- From the print dialog, you now hcve the option to preview your documents prior to printing.
Industry-leading applications
Since Notes R4, we have incorporated more and more cc:Mail features into Notes. We started with folders and a three-pane interface. In Notes R5, we have greatly enhanced the overall mail experience, adding even more cc:Mail features. Most notably, the new mail application in Notes R5 includes a separate address header in messages, type-down addressing, faster type-ahead addresscng, an inbox view that can display new messages at the top, and simple setup of mail rules. Combining these core pieces of functionality with the Notes document editor and standards support, e-mail in Notes R5 is as full-featured as an Internet mail client can be.
We have incorporated many of the enhanced PIM features of Lotus Organizer into the Lotus Notes calendar, scheduling, and task management functions. For example, many people who use an electronic calendar product also like to print their calendars. Comprehensive printing capabilities in Notes R5 supports multiple print styles. The addition of a group calendar view makes it easier than ever for you to stay on top of multiple schedules, and to plan your time and work so that individuals and groups are more productive.
Key new mail features include:
Separation of message header
-- Message recipients are now kept in a separate pane from the message body. Now you can scroll through the message while keepicg the header information on screen. This is especially helpful when a message has many recipients.
Type-ahead addressing
-- Performance increases in Notes R5 make this feature easier to use when selecting recipients to address mail messages or initiate workflow applications.
Type-down addressing
-- As type-ahead addressing begins to match names in the address dialog, you can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to cycle through "like" names. This feature sorks in conjunction with the new Mobile Directory Catalog (see below for more details).
Mail rules
English language syntax
for developing automated tasks with multiple conditions for filtering mail automatically. Multiple actions may also be selected. These Rules are server-based to provide 24x7 processing.
MAPI support
-- Notes now registers itself as the default mail application. This allows Notes R5 messaging to be integrated within#products such as MS Office and MS Internet Explorer, so that Notes is launched as the mail client from these types of applications.
Notes Minder
-- This utility loads automatically into the Windows 95/98/NT system tray and informs via flashing icon, sound, or dialog of the arrival of new items. Headers of new messages can also be checked, and Notes can be launched if desired.
Notification of Sent view behavior
-- Users are notified that messages deleted from the Sent view will be deleted from every folder as well.
Mail preferences
Mail preferences include: option for automatic spell check on send, delivery priority, automatic message signature and signature files, message content options (HTML only, plain text only, or both), message importance, security options, delegation options, and reply separator definition.
Inbox sorting
-- A new preference option has been added to allow users to choose to have new mail#arrive at either the top or bottom of the Inbox.
Key new calendar and scheduling features include:
Calendar printing
You can now print your calendar in hard-copy format, in a selection of styles that resemble those in Lotus Organizer, so that you can take your calendar with you.
Group calendar view
-- Create a calendar showing multiple colleagues' free and busy time, with the ability to see more information if you have delecation access to their calendars.
Holiday support
-- Ability to add holiday sets (geographic and/or religious) to calendar
Improved invitation form and invitation management
-- Invitees as FYI, optional or required. Invitation delivery options such as prevent delegation, prevent counter proposal. You can receive meeting updates after declining and add comments when canceling or rescheduling
Resource management
-- Resources are an#important part of how meetings are scheduled. With the ability to schedule resources across domains and greater access control for resources, you can be sure you'll have everything you need for your important meetings.
Enhanced alarm support
-- Support sound (such as .WAV files) for alarms. Alarms can now be set for tasks as well as appointments and alarms can be sent to invitees
Owner actions and participant actions buttons
-- Notes exposes all the features reqsired when viewing an appointment from the calendar view to be able to: Send a reminder, cancel a meeting, reschedule a meeting, suggest alternate time.
Integrated task management
- To do's automatically appear on the calendar and follow you day after day. To do's can also include alarms, be marked as repeating, and marked private. Additionally, there is support for group to do's.
Mobile support and ease of deployment
Notes has always offered supcrior off-line use. Wherever you are, you still have access to and control over a wide variety of information. With Notes R5, additional off-line capabilities mean you'll have even greater control over the information you're working with and sharing -- whether it's Internet mail or Web pages that can be updated from a site to reflect changes when you reconnect.
In addition, mobile enhancements such as the
Mobile Directory Catalog
-- a single database that contains all of the directories in cn enterprise -- were created for the road warrior. It contains partial replica information in a compressed form, with each user entry measuring about 100 bytes in size, instead of the 10 Kb per user in earlier versions of Notes. There is enough data in this compressed "catalog" of directories to yield information about the entire directory object if needed, automatically and invisibly to the user. This new directory occupies minimal disk space, so that mobile users can easily maintain a copy on their local#hard disks.
Specific features include:
Disconnected use
-- Off-line browsing and management of mail, Web pages, and News. Simplified mobile configuration and setup. Easier replica management with Bookmarks.
Remote, connected use

-- R5 indexes the entirc document by using Inso filters to translate the attachments into something that can be indexed. Supported formats are Acrobat PDF, Word, WordPerfect, Word Pro, 1-2-3, Excel, Freelance, PowerPoint, and HTML.80
Notes Client
Contact Management via Web Mail
Web mail users have the ability to do coctact management. Web mail users can create contact and group information from a web browser which is stored in the user's mail file as address book documents.
Calendar Enhancements
There are two new print layouts as well as support for various page sizes and types for users to#select from when printing their calendars from Notes. The new layouts are a trifold style print and a To Do List print. The trifold option enables users to print three separate panels on a page, either portrait or landscape. Users can select from the following options for the three panels on the page; Daily, Weekly, Monthly, To Do List or a Notes section. Users will also have the option to now print their calendars on the following page types and sizes; Franklin Day Planner Classic, Franklin Day Planner Mocarch, Day-Timer Portable, Day-Timer Desk, Day-Timer Jotter, Day-Timer Folio as well as 3x5 Cards.
Notes now also supports alternate names for calendar and scheduling.
Importing Organizer GS into Notes
You can now migrate Organizer Notepad and Call entries into Notes Release 5.0.2.
Enhanced Import capability for Notes Rcch Text
The Windows client for Notes Release 5.0.2 provides the ability to import the following into a Notes Rich Text field using ANSI code page 1252:
SmartSuite 97 and R9 files (1-2-3 and Word Pro)
Microsoft Office 97 and 2000 files (Word, RTF, Excel)
WordPerfect 7 and 8
Optimized Memory Utilization
Memory in the Notes client is further optimized in Release 5.0.2 by sharing memory pools among threads in nweb.exe, reducing instances of memory fragmentation, and allocating certain memory pools only when needed. On the Windows platforms, resource usage is further optimized by reducing the number of bitmap handles allocated from the GDI heap. The result is a better coexistence with other applications.
New bookmark icon for Sametime
If the Sametime Connect client exists on a workstation when Notes Release 5.0.2 is installed, a new icon in the bookmark bar appears which allows you to launch Sametime Connect from within Notes.
Designer
Designer usability
Launch infobox when entering view design - When a user opens up a view in design mode the infobox is opened, if it is not already open, and the selection is pcaced on the first column.
Web launch option for views - A launch panel has been added to the view infobox to allow users to specify the frameset and frame that the view should be launched in when it is launched on the web.
Image Resources
Image wells are now supported on the web. When creating an image well which contains more than one image for use on the web, a new "Web browser compatible" check box will be available.
Can cow select more than one image resource at a time to refresh or export.
New View property to set target frame
You can now specify a target frame for displaying a document when the user double-clicks on it in a view. A single-click event can also be specified.
@RegQueryValue
A new query function, @RegQueryValue, providcs the ability to query values from the Windows registry.
Right-to-left Outlines
International users can now have their outlines displayed in the right-to-left fashion native to some languages.
Programmability
XML support via ?ReadViewEntries URL command
Release 5.0.2 adds support for a new URL command, ?ReadViewEntries, which returns view data in XML form.
Alternate Name support for Registration classes
LotusScript NotesRegistration and Java Registration classes contain two new properties, AltOrgUnit and AltOrgUnitLang, which support the use of alternate names when creating ID files. In addition, altname and altnamelang parameters for the RegisterNewUser method have been added.
Java createSession allows local user lookup and password
NotesFactory.crecteSession(String host, String user, String passwd) is expanded to allow the creation of local sessions based on either the Notes user ID or (server installations only) a user lookup in the local Domino Directory.
Outline and OutlineEntry classes
Release 5.0.2 contains new and enhanced methods for the Outline and OutlinEntry classes for LotusScript and Java.
Agent.runOnServer method
The LotusScript cnd Java Agent.runOnServer method has been enhanced so that a client agent that invokes an agent to be run on the server may pass a noteid to the server agent. The document represented by the noteid may be used to pass input/output parameters between the client agent and the server agent.
Agent.run method
The LotusScript and Java Agent.runOnServer method has been enhanced so that a client agent that invokes another agent on the client may pass a noteid#to the invoked agent. The document represented by the noteid may be used to pass input/output parameters between the two agents.
MIMEEntity
MIMEEntity is a new class which provides the ability to acquire the unconverted MIME content of Items of type MIME_PART. The MIMEEntity properties in Release 5.0.2 permit reading of MIME entity headers, reading of body content as text, and iteration through the individual body parts of a multipart MIME entity.
Domino Server
Performance Monitoring Statistics for Windows NT and Solaris
Domino will track performance metrics of the Windows NT (Intel) and Solaris (Sparc) operating systems and output the results to the server console. They can also be viewed from the Statistics & Events view via the Administrator client.
LDAP schema checking enforcement
Release 5.0.2 allows#you to enforce LDAP schema checking. If you enforce schema checking, the LDAP service only carries out LDAP add or modify operations if the information in the operations conform to the directory schema. Enforcing schema checking helps administrators control the content of the directory and helps lay the groundwork for future interoperability with other directories.
Additional LDAP schema enhancements
To better comply with LDAP standards, in Release 5#0.2 the LDAP service provides enhancements in areas such as street and postalAddress attribute mapping, new mappings for LDAP name attributes, and changes to object class definitions. There are many LDAP schema changes. For details, see the category Domino 5 Administration Help in the release notes
Documentation updates
chapter.
Security
Export Internet certificates
In Release 5.0.1 you could icport Internet certificates into your User ID file. Beginning in Release 5.0.2, you can now export Internet certificates from your User ID file into a file on your local machine, and then import them to use with a Netscape browser. Refer to "Importing and exporting Internet certificates" in the
Documentation Updates
chapter of these release notes for additional information.
ECL permission defaults
Beginning in Release 5.0.2, the ECL entries for -Defcult- and -No signature- have been changed to have no permissions checked. The ECL dialog has also been changed. You will no longer be prompted to trust everybody in the organization of the user whose signature you are about to trust.
Templates
DA50.NTF template change
The DA50.NTF template now creates a modifiable Group Expansion field in the Directory Assistance document. This enhancement allows administrators to control ncsted group searches in LDAP queries during web authentication. For more information, see the Multiple Directories topics in the Domino 5 Administration Help section of these release notes, in the chapter
Documentation updates.
Mail template enabled with Sametime
Notes mail now supports the ability to see if the sender and recipients of a mail message are online when you read that message. You can then have an instant message conversation with cne or more of the online people who received the e-mail message. This feature is available if you have Sametime Connect installed and are using a Sametime 1.5 server in your organization.
Java Support
Beginning in Release 5.0.2, the Java Virtual Machine has been upgraded to JDK 1.1.8 for Windows (Intel and Alpha).

This release note provides an overview of the new R5 Domino server features.
Internet Messaging
Native Internet addressing
Domino understands Internet addressing rules and interprets them, along with existing Notes addressing rules.
Native MIME content support
-- Message content is now stored as either Notes Rich Text or MIME, and Domino translates between formats as needed. Notes users who choose MIME format require no message translation when sending mail to and from Internet users. In a mixed environment of R5 and pre-R5 Notes users, no translation is required because the R5 Notes client can render MIME or Notes Rich Text.
Native SMTP routing
-- The Domino router now implements the SMTP protocol to transport Internet/intranet messages, along with Notes mail routing protocols for compatibility with previous releases. The SMTP MTA, which was included in previous releases, is no longer needed. When deploying R5 Domino with R5 clients, message conversion between MIME and Notes Rich Text is eliminated at the routing layer because the Notes client fully supports MIME.
If configured, both SMTP and Notes mail routing protocols coexist within the same server. The Domino router implements the base SMTP standard plus SMTP service extensions (ESMTP) (such as 8BITMIME and SMTP PIPELINING) to deliver optimal SMTP performance. In addition, other extensions such as the Delivery Status Notifications specifications allow Notes and Domino SMTP to provide message delivery information to the Notes client.
Multiple character set support
When converting between Notes Rich Text and MIME, the Domino mail router can now support all character sets when sending and receiving messages. Previously, several SMTP MTA's were required to provide support for multiple character sets.
Security
Better support for Internet-standard X.509 v3 certificates
Domino allows administrators to register new users with traditional Notes certificates and with Internet-compliant X.509 v3 certificates. Notes clients can use these Internet certificates for secure access to Web servers (SSL) and for secure Internet Mail (S/MIME).
Stronger cryptography
North American editions of Domino create stronger RSA keys (1024 bits) and stronger RC2 keys (128 bits) for users connecting to Domino via SSL. In addition, North American Notes clients use these stronger keys for SSL and S/MIME.
S/MIME
Notes and Domino support the IETF standard, S/MIME v2, for secure Internet mail encryption and digital signatures.
SSL v3 for all Internet protocols
Users accessing the Domino server over any supported Internet protocol can now use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) v3 for certificate-based authentication and encryption. Supported protocols include IIOP, LDAP, HTTP, POP3, IMAP and NNTP.
Separate key rings for virtual Web servers
Separate key rings for SSL v3 are supported for each Domino Virtual Web Server. This means that each virtual server can have its own certified identity, and can authenticate its users with its own set of certificates.
Password recovery for Notes users
Recovery agents can log password and ID changes. Administrators and users can recover forgotten passwords, corrupted or lost Notes ID files, and encrypted information.
Just-in-time encryption
Mobile Notes users who don't keep certificates in their Personal Address Book or don't have certificates in their local Directory Catalog can encrypt e-mail when it is replicated to the server.
Authentication via third-party directory
Administrators can choose to allow authentication through a trusted third-party directory over LDAP. Domino Directory Assistance enables administrators to specify trusted third-party LDAP directories used to look up users and groups for authentication and access control.
Password quality
To limit password guessing or dictionary attacks, administrators can control the quality of password used to protect the Notes ID. Administrators have a choice of 16 quality levels; the higher the level, the more complex and difficult-to-guess the password must be.
Web server authentication interface
(included in Domino Server API) -- Through DSAPI, you may now create external programs to authenticate Web users (for example, single sign-on utilities) instead of using Domino's authentication mechanism. You can create your own authentication schemes for Domino that leverage external systems or special algorithms.
Domino Directory
Domino Directory
Previously called the Name & Address Book or Public Address Book, the Domino Directory is the directory service within Domino.
Improved performance, scalability and reliability
The Domino Directory uses Domino database technology, and benefits from the Domino R5 improvements in this core technology. These benefits include transaction logging, online and in-place compaction, and faster online view re-indexing. In addition, specific performance enhancements have been made for the Domino Directory in R5.
LDAP v3 support
Complete support for the IETF-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3, including add, delete, modify, compare and abandon operations. In addition, Domino supports LDAP referrals, the UTF-8 character set (equivalent to Unicode), enhanced search capabilities, language tags, and X.509 v3 certificate-based authentication. Domino supports the IETF-standard LDAP directory schema for compatibility with third-party LDAP directories.
Extensible Schema
Using Domino Designer, administrators can create custom document extensions and new document types in the Domino Directory. These customizations are preserved across updates to the Domino Directory design template, and can be searched and updated with LDAP v3 and Domino Administrator.
Directory Catalog
The Directory Catalog aggregates user information from one or more Domino Directories. It is optimized for fast searches, compact storage of user information (approximately 100 bytes per entry with default attributes), and scalability to millions of entries. It is small enough to be replicated to users' desktop or laptop computers so that users can take the entire company directory with them when they are away from the office. Administrators can choose the attributes included in Directory Catalog entries, and can create multiple Directory Catalogs with different content or sort orders. The Directory Catalog is fully LDAP-enabled, and can be searched using standard LDAP clients.
Directory Assistance
Directory Assistance, known in previous releases as the Master Address Book, allows directory search requests to a Domino server to be redirected to other Domino directories or to a third-party LDAP directory, based on naming rules defined in the Directory Assistance database. In R5, the Domino server can reference group definitions stored in third-party LDAP directories, and use those groups for determining Web user access to Domino applications.
LDIF import and export
Domino supports import and export of directory entries using the IETF-standard LDIF file format.
Alternate name support for international names
Domino and Notes now support an alternate name as the secondary name for a Notes user. For example, the alternate name could be in the user's native language and character set, while the primary Notes user name could use the English alphabet. The alternate name is secure and authenticated, and users can send mail to and search on the alternate name.
Message Management
Message tracking
Domino R5 now allows for detailed message tracking and monitoring. The Simple Message Tracker Collector Protocol (SMTCP) provides a method to record message tracking information and the information is logged into the MailTracker Store Database that is resident on each mail server. The MailTracker Collector formats the data so it can be queried. Query options include: Sender (wildcarding permitted); Recipient (wildcarding permitted); Date Range; Subject Text (wildcarding permitted); Range of Message Sizes
Message reporting
Domino R5 provides automated mail server reporting. Eleven different reports cover topics such as: Message count by author and size; Most common message routings; and Volume summaries. Data is stored in Notes format so custom views and reports can be generated.
Single Copy Message Store management
Message Store management (previously know as SCOS) has been improved and now delivers management tools to help administer the message store on a per user basis and archive old messages. In addition to having unlimited message store databases, Domino R5 provides for auto creation of message store databases when the database has surpassed operating system size restrictions on a single database.
Routing control management improvements
Administrators now have more control over routing options. Some options include: Allow mail only from specific domains; Allow mail from designated organizations; Deny mail from designated organizations; Maximum message size quota; Send messages as low priority if meet specific criteria such as size. Additional Routing controls include:
Push Request Routing - The new router also supports "push request" routing such that the source server sends a "push request" to the destination server. The destination server then sends a request for the source to send the message. This facility enables Domino to provide Remote Message Queuing for one or more domains. This feature supports four configurable modes of operation which deliver the same functionality for both NRPC and SMTP connections.
Routing topology - Administrators have more control to optimize routing for their organization.
Message quotas
Administrators can easily set individual mail file quotas.
Built-in
migration tools
Domino Upgrade Services provide easy-to-use migration wizards for cc:Mail, MS Mail, Windows NT, MS Exchange, LDAP (LDIF), Novell Groupwise 4.x, Novell Groupwise 5.x, and Netscape Mail Server. In addition, there are now open APIs for Lotus Business Partners and third-party developers to create custom Domino Upgrade Services.
Database and architectural improvements
Unlimited database storage
In R5, Domino databases are designed for unlimited size and certified for
so your applications are limited only by the system platform on which the Domino Server is deployed.
Memory and I/O optimization
Low-level resource managers include enhancements that dramatically increase performance. Enhancements are in these areas: compression, sequential I/O, paginated large structures, slotted pages, adaptive handling of non-summary data, a single buffer manager, background I/O threads with read-ahead.
Transaction logging
Transaction logging is an industry-standard technique for reliable data storage. A transaction log is a sequential file to which everybody writes -- sequential writing on disk is much faster than writing in various places on disk. Transaction logging records the operation you performed once it is written to disk (not just memory). Transaction logging replaces Database Fixup, which results in a much faster system restart and recovery.
Improved scalability
Scalability improvements are twofold: size of databases and number of users supported per server. With the database enhancement mentioned above, databases now scale to the limits of your system platform. Notably, work has been done to the Domino R5 directory to ensure that it scales to support at least one million registered users. The number of Notes, IMAP, POP and browser users supported by a single Domino server is two to four times greater than R4.6.x.
Availability and Reliability
Internet Cluster Manager
Extends failover and load balancing to Web browser clients (HTTP and HTTPS) using native Domino clustering and the Internet Cluster Manager (ICM).
Domino integration with OS clusters
Domino can run under Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) configuration in either Active/Passive or Active/Active modes. In an Active/Passive configuration MSCS fails over the Domino server to a secondary MSCS cluster server where the Domino server is then started. In an Active/Active configuration, two
Domino
servers are running on two MSCS cluster servers and if one Domino server goes down it fails over to a second partition running a separate instance of Domino on the other MSCS cluster server.
Clustering enhancements
In order to provide users with a single system image of a Domino cluster, several enhancements are provided in R5 such as collaborative calendar and scheduling support of fail over, synchronous mail agent support of failover, improved unread mark support of replicas, and better fail back functions in the Notes client.
Partitioning enhancements
Unlimited partitions per server (previously six) so you can maximize your system investment in larger platforms. In addition, each partitioned server runs as its own, distinguishable service in an NT environment, allowing for the startup and shutdown of each partitioned server through the NT service manager.
Online indexing
Allows access to database views that are currently being updated and allows users to continue accessing a server when the $Users view is being updated.
Auto restart enhancements
Administrators can optionally keep the Domino server down -- after cleaning up all the files -- which is extremely useful in conjunction with hardware clustering/failover. Allows for tighter integration with UNIX hardware clustering such as Sun FullMoon. Administration scripts are configurable to help gather diagnostic information on Domino failures.
Online, in-place compaction
Allows for database compaction while database is in use. The Administration Process systematically compacts database in intervals, allowing for user traffic to take turns with compaction process.
Full and incremental, online backup support
Set of published APIs to allow tight integration with third-party incremental backup solutions.
Web Server
Enhanced HTTP stack
The Domino native HTTP engine has numerous enhancements including enhanced performance and servlet support.
Domino for Microsoft IIS
You may now choose to use Microsoft IIS as the HTTP engine for Domino. For NT customers that use Microsoft IIS, Domino adds a secure, distributed, and cross-platform Web application server to IIS Web servers.
CORBA/IIOP protocol support
Support for Common Object Request Broker Architecture & Internet InterORB Protocol (CORBA/IIOP)
Permits extension of client/server computing to non-Notes clients. CORBA/IIOP enables applets that communicate with the server more efficiently than HTTP.
Access control for HTML and other files
When using the Domino native HTTP stack, you are now able to configure access control lists for files (HTML, GIFs, etc.) in the file system.
Domino Web server API (DSAPI)
Domino now supports a server API that allows you to create your own Web server extensions. A DSAPI extension, or "filter", is a program you create that is notified when certain events occur in the Web server, such as when a URL request is received or when a HTTP client is about to be authenticated.
Internet Cluster Manager
Domino's clustering, load balancing and failover capabilities have been extended to support Web browsers accessing the Domino Web server
When a Domino Web server is overloaded or unavailable, the Web browser request is rerouted to another server in the cluster
HTTP session authentication
Domino R5 allows you to choose authentication using HTTP sessions and encrypted cookies, which provides the ability to "log in" and "log out" of a Web site served by Domino.
Determine browser capabilities
You can now determine the capabilities of a Web user's browser from the formula language, using @BrowserInfo.
Upgraded servlet support
The Domino Web server now supports the JSDK 2.0.
Last-modified HTTP header
Domino R5 now sends a last-modified header with most Domino responses. This often results in a performance enhancement, since it enables many Web browsers or proxy servers to cache Domino pages.
Virtual server logging
Virtual server information is now included in the common extended log format.
Virtual servers SSL and key ring support
System administrators can specify a unique key ring for each virtual server. This enables each virtual server to use SSL. Also, port security settings can be specified for each virtual server.
Control server log life
Administrators can now specify the length of time for which a log file is used: daily, weekly, or monthly.
Byte range serving
-- Domino R5 allows a Web client to download a file in sections (a range of bytes) rather than all at once. This can make file downloads more efficient and fault-tolerant. For example, if a Web client is in the middle of downloading a file and the connection is suddenly lost, Domino, with byte range serving support, starts the download again from the point where it was interrupted, rather than from the beginning of the file.
Simple URLs
Domino R5 supports the ability to give a page in Domino database a name, which results in simple URLs where no unique ID is required. For example: www.acme.com/News.nsf/Today?OpenPage where "Today" is the name of the page. If the name is unambiguous, you can further simply the URL further to:www.acme.com/News.nsf/Today
Automatic configuration of maximum performance settings
In R5, you can have Domino automatically configure various server options to optimize your HTTP performance based on the type of applications you are running, such as Web mail, Web applications, or both mail and applications.
Enterprise Integration
Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) -- Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) is a visual tool and high performance server environment you can use to create Web applications that provide live, native access to enterprise data and applications. The visual tool includes an application wizard and online Help to assist you to define external data source connections -- for example, DB2, Oracle, Sybase, File directory, EDA/SQL, or ODBC -- and fields within your application that automatically update with external connector data. For more information on connecting to legacy databases, see the Domino Enterprise Connection Services User's Guide. (DECSDOC.NSF) in your Notes or Domino data directory.
Install and Setup
InstallShield
The Domino R5 and Notes R5 Install programs for Windows platforms are based upon the InstallShield Wizard. The new procedure is significantly simpler than previous versions.
Server setup without a client
For non-Windows platforms, Domino R5 launches a Web browser after install so administrators can easily set up and configure the server.
Automated client setup
Using the centralized client configuration tool, administrators can centrally setup clients, choose what server the client connects to during setup and configure the user's desktop.
Enhanced server setup profiles
Allows administrators to create server setup profiles. Administrators can distribute these to remote sites for controlled server setup and deployment.
Administration Process
Programmability
The administration process is programmable via published APIs. Administrators and third-party vendors can take advantage of core Administration Process functions in order to integrate Domino administration with other administration products and to develop customized administration functions.
Cross-domain functionality
Administration Process is extended so administration process services such as change name, add person, delete person, upgrade server, and delete server are available across domains.
Desktop Management
Centralized client configuration
Domino R5 allows administrators to centrally configure and control desktop setting such as home server, proxy server, UI preferences, and bookmarks. In addition, administrators can "lock down" the desktops so that the settings can't be altered.
Centralized upgrades
Allows administrators to distribute client software upgrades. This feature supports UNC (Universal Naming Convention) so there is no need for consistent drive mappings across all clients.
Monitoring
Enterprise-wide monitoring
-- New features in the Domino Administrator make it easy to find and monitor large number of servers. Monitoring follows a distributed model, showing only those servers that an administrator can and should manage.
Expert analysis tools
These tools allow administrators to analyze server performance, over time, to help you predict and prevent future issues. These tools include:
Core services analysis -- For what is the server being used?
Service level agreements -- Set and Track SLAs, including server response time and replication schedules.
Correlated services analysis -- If an SLFA is not met, this tools helps administrators determine the reason by correlating statistics such as server response time with associated statistics like concurrent users and indexer, replicator and agent activity.
Database usage analysis -- Helps administrators optimize server tuning by knowing which databases are being used and how often. Also helps load balance applications and recoup disk space by archiving unused databases
Application monitoring and analysis -- Tells administrators how well an application is working. Calculates the time it takes to open the default view and create a document using the default form. Helpful in telling when views may be growing too large.
Gives administrators the ability to get service-level statistics on any TCP/IP service supported by a Domino server
including which services are available and the response time for a particular service. ISpy also includes the ability to ping servers to determine mail routing and response time, alerting administrators to potential mail delivery problems. ISpy is fully integrated with the Domino events and statistics collection, allowing the administrator to set their own response time goals and providing a range of automated actions to occur when a service is not performing to the administrator's expectations.
Administration enhancements
Telnet into server console for Domino UNIX servers
Domino R5 provides the ability to use any UNIX or NT workstation to Telnet (or remotely log in) to the server console of a Domino UNIX server. This allows you to see the history of what is happening on the server console, and you can type server commands at the console from the remote workstation.
Batch console commands
This is the ability to give the server many commands from a batch file.
Decommission server analysis tool
Domino R5 provides analysis tool to help administrators decommission servers. You get detailed information comparing source server and target server. Any inconsistencies between them are flagged.
Passthru logging
When configured as a passthru server, the Domino server can log sessions established through that server.
Ability to stop/start ports
The administrator can stop and start individual Domino Server ports with the Start Port and Stop Port console commands.
Enhanced trace connection facility
Additional controls are available on the amount of information logged for trace connection operations.
Search tools
Domain Search
In R5, you can search all databases in the domain with multi-database indexing selected, and any file systems referenced. By incorporating ACLs into the search, users only get results from Notes documents to which they have access. Provides dynamic indexing of new databases that are flagged to be included, and a centrally located index of all databases.
Content categorization
Provides the ability to categorize all documents in the domain regardless of the database where they are located, according to a single hierarchical scheme or taxonomy. Web pages can be categorized as well. The domain catalog contains a view that can be used to browse through this content map.
Filters
Domino R5 indexes attached documents by using Verity's KeyView filters to translate the attachments into format that can be indexed. Supported formats include Acrobat PDF, Word, WordPerfect, Word Pro, 1-2-3, Excel, Freelance, PowerPoint, HTML, and many others.
Double-byte full-text indexing and searching
All indexing and searching operations are fully enabled for double-byte character sets.
Paged result set
Search results are formatted on a page in a format similar to major Internet search engines. A page comes back with 20 hits by default (this is user-configurable) and then you hit the next page button to get the next set of hits. The result form is customizable. You can specify logos, a summary of the document, author, relevance rank type, modified date, etc.
Full-text SPI
-- Service Provider Interface provides APIs for other search engines to hook into core Domino databases.
Full-text indexing of file system
Any file system referenced by the file system configuration form and stored in the domain catalog can be added to the index.
Domain Catalog
Centrally maintains list of all database attributes such as Location, Indexing configuration, and ACL properties. Also contains Search and Result forms and File system configuration forms.
Clustered searching
Supports search of clustered Domain Catalog Servers and automatically load-balances requests by redirecting users to the least-loaded server in the cluster. Fault Tolerant Domain Searching can be implementing with clusters. If one of the Domain Catalog Servers crashes, requests are automatically redirected to the remaining Domain Catalog servers in the cluster.
Fuzzy search
Gives users the ability to locate words even if the document query terms used for the search are misspelled within the documents or vice-versa.
Network Protocol Support
HTTP Tunnel Proxy
The Domino server and the Notes client can use the industry-standard HTTP Tunnel Proxy to connect through a firewall, to each other and to other Internet standard clients and servers. The POP3, IMAP, SMTP, LDAP, and NNTP protocols are supported via the HTTP Tunnel Proxy, both with and without SSL (Secure Socket Layer). The internal Notes protocol (Notes RPC or NRPC) is also supported via the HTTP Tunnel Proxy, as in previous releases.
Flexible Notes TCP/IP connections/server names
When connecting to a TCP/IP-based Domino server, users can enter the server's name as a simple host name, even if the server's name is a fully-qualified TCP/IP name. For example, the user can enter "fred" to access a Domino server named Fred/Sales/Acme, or fred.acme.com/Acme.
External Domain Network Information document
The administrator can import address information into this document from another Domino domain.
Improved NetWare Directory Services (NDS) support
Domino provides a snap-in DLL for the NetWare NDS administration tool (NWADMIN), which allows an administrator to browse and update Domino server objects in NDS. Domino R5 uses the new 32-bit snap-in interface, allowing use of the 32-bit NWADMIN tool. Domino automatically finds its server object within NDS using the naming context of the current logged-in user.

Domino Administrator is the new administration client for the Domino server. It is an intuitive, task-oriented interface that utilizes a familiar hierarchical server tree metaphor, making finding and switching to servers very easy. To leverage existing skillx and experiences of administrators, the Domino Administrator implements common features such as drag and drop, multiple selections using the Shift and Ctrl keys, and right-click context-sensitive menus.
Domino Administrator provides graphical monitoring of servers, services, replication and routing. It groups features and chains steps to simplify task completion. It has six primary tabs to help organize administration and management functions logically:
People & Groups
Use the People & Groups tab for all user and group management, user registration, certification, migration from foreign mail systems and directories, and external directory management.
Files
The Files tab provides a central interface for all database and template management functions, such as moving and compacting databases, ACL management, configuring fihe replication settings, indexing, and setting quotas
Server
The Server tab consolidates all server management functions, such as server analysis, monitoring, console commands, and performance information. Server monitoring features give status reports in real time as to which servers and services are running on individual servers.
Messaging
The Messaging tab allows you access to all messaging management functions, sxch as shared mail management, assigning mailbox quotas, mail routing topology, and message tracking and reporting
Replication
Use the Replication tab for all replication management functions, such as replication schedule configuration
topology maps, and troubleshooting
Configuration
The Configuration Tab provides a central location for configuration settings such as servers, messhging, replication, clusters, Web servers, and statistics and events
For more details on using Domino Administrator, see Domino 5 Administration Help.
Notes and Domino now interprets any input in a date/time field as a date or time, no matter how obscure the format. You receive an "Invalid date format" error ohly when it is impossible for Notes to interpret a value (such as 99/99/99) as a date or time.
For example, when a date field is formatted to expect month, day, and year, and only one of the three variables is entered, Notes tries to guess what the other two entries are. If there is no month, then the default is the current month according to the operating system settings. If there is no day, the default is "01." If there is no year, the default is the current year. If an alphanumeric entry ix made, Notes ignores the alphabetic characters and tries to determine the date based upon the numerals entered.[
Lotus eSuite DevPack provides a set of Java-based business applets that allow Domino developers to create interactive applications for Notes clients and Web browsers. For more information about DevPack, please go to the
http://www.lotus.com/esuite
eSuite home page
http://www.lotus.com/esuite
) or the eSuite DevPack developer's site (
http://esuite.lotus.com
With enhanced features in eSuite DevPack 2.0 and Domino R5, developers can choose from a greater range of features, including:
The choice of
importing or linking
to DevPack applets to build interactive applications for Notes clients and Web hrowsers quickly and easily.
Integrated JavaScript support
in Designer that allows developers to deliver the full capabilities of DevPack applets to Notes clients, as well as to Web browsers.
Integrated Java support
from Domino, including support of the CORBA/IIOP protocol that allows remote access to the Domino Object Model (also known as the back-end classes or Notes Object Interface) from DevPack applets.
H new
eSuite Servlet Kit
that allows developers to create applications that leverage the servlet capabilities of Domino. This feature is especially useful to developers of enterprise applications who utilize Java for their server-side development and want to incorporate DevPack applets into the applications.
A new data access applet,
Infobus/FX
, that provides
features
similar to the Notes/FX capabilities(used with OLE objects. This applet allows developers to set up data exchanges between embedded DevPack applets and fields in Domino documents.
A new data access applet,
AgentGateway
that allows a developer to connect to a Domino server and pass values to a Domino agent, which in turn publishes
the results to the DevPack InfoBus for use within applets. The applet gives developers a direct and simple way to work with DEC's (Domino Enterprixe Connectivity) to provide access to enterprise data.
A new DevPack
install program with Domino integration options
for installing the applets, samples, and documentation on both Notes clients and Domino servers.
Two new
DevPack 2.0/Domino R5 templates
, eSuite Contact Manager and eSuite Project Scheduler, that make extensive use of DevPack applets. The templates are designed for both Notes clients and Web browsers. Dhvelopers can use the designs as is, as a starting point for further customization, or as learning tools for their own applications.

ODBCConnection object changes
The AutoCommit and CommitOnDisconnect properties are moved from the ODBCResultSet object to ODBCConnection in order to support Transaction Mode, CommitTransactions, and RollbackTransactions. These take no arguments. AutoCommit defaults to True and can be set False wo enter Transaction Mode, if the driver and data source support transactions.
The methods GetRegistrationInfo and IsTimedOut have been removed.
The DisconnectTimeOut and Exclusive properties have been removed.
Support for asynchronous execution of queries has been removed. The IsSupported property returns False so that scripts that attempt to use asynchronous mode when available will behave correctly.
The ConnectTo method does not perform the auto-reggstration of unregistered data sources.
The ExecProcedure method has been removed. A new ExecProcedure method is added in ODBCResultSet object to execute a stored procedure.
Also, please be aware of the following issues:
The ListProcedures method does not work with some drivers.
In some cases, an ODBC driver indicated that it did not support a certain mode although it actuagly did. The IsSupported property of the ODBCConnection object may report incorrectly due to bugs in the ODBC driver. On the DB_SUPP_READONLY item, it may report incorrectly due to limitations in ODBC.
ODBCResultSet object changes
The properties AutoCommit and CommitOnDisconnect have been moved to the ODBCConnection object. The AutoCommit property of the ODBCConnection object can be set'False (when supported by the DBMS) to enter Transaction Mode, which applies to all queries and result sets associated with that connection.
The Transactions method and the Commit and Rollback functions of the Close method have been replaced by the CommitTransactions and RollbackTransactions methods of the ODBCConnection object. These new methods take no arguments and apply to all transactions pending through that connection. You might get error 720, "You cannot have more than one statement agtive, when SQL_AUTOCOMMIT is false" for INTERSOLV drivers. As a workaround, Lotus suggests to "Call Res.LastRow" after "Res.Execute" and before any "Res.UpdateRow" or "Res.Delete Row."
The Asynchronous and Override properties have been removed.
The new ExecProcedure method allows you yo execute a stored procedure.
The RefreshRow method has been removed.

For UNIX platforms, Checkos is a patch checker utility that starts when you install Domino Release 5 for the first time. If you are missing patches for your operating system (OS), Checkos prompts you. If all of the correct patches are installed, you are notified with the message, "The OS appears to have the correct pgtches." This feature is new in Release 5.0 of the Domino server.
See also the UNIX patch requirements in the
"Things you need to know"
chapter of the Release Notes for additional information about patch requirements and specific issues associated with not running proper patch levels.3g
R5 contains a new version of the'Domino configuration file HTTPD.CNF. It contains MIME definitions and control directives for the HTTP server task. All of the important configuration settings for the HTTP task are included in the Server document of the Domino Directory, and administrators normally do not need to modify the HTTPD.CNF file.
HTTPD.CNF is installed into the server's data directory. The Domino Server Install program does not overwrite an existing HTTPD.CNF file. Therefore, if you already have Domino gnstalled and you want to get the new version of HTTPD.CNF, you must delete or rename your existing file before running the install program. If you have made changes to your HTTPD.CNF file (such as adding custom MIME types), you should rename your old file before running the install program and then copy the changes from the old file to the new file.
The new version of HTTPD.CNF includes an updated and reorganized list of MIME types. The following MIME extensions have been added:

The following elements have been removed from the MIGE list:
Rarely-used CAE and CAD file extensions.
Upper-case variants of file extensions (not needed because file extension comparison is case-insensitive).
Unused "quality" and "encoding" attributes.
The other major change to HTTPD.CNF is the removal of unsupported directives. The HTTP stack code in Domino is derived from code used in several IBM Web server products. The original version of HTTPD.CNF contained several types of directives that did not apply to the Domino implementation of the code. All of these directives have been removed. The net result is that the new HTTPD.CNF is much smaller than the original version.

The Notes 5.0.2 Welcome Page now contains a link to www.Sametime.com, so that you can see and experience real-time collaboration.
There is also a new icon in the bookmark bar to launch Sametime Connect. This Sametime Connect applicatign icon appears if you have the Sametime Connect client installed on your client computer. This allows you to launch Connect from within Notes.
If you do not have Sametime Connect installed on your computer, but you do have a Sametime server listed in your current location record, clicking the Sametime Connect icon launches a browser that takes you to the Welcome to Sametime web page. From there, you can download Sametime Connect.
The Sametime connect'application icon will not appear if you are upgrading from 5.0 or 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. To make it appear, you must rename or delete the bookmark.nsf and then restart the Notes client. Please note that deleting the bookmark.nsf will remove all previous bookmarks you had, and you will need to re-insert your previous bookmarks manually.
Viewer capability is now enhanced for Windows by providing the ability to view Office 2000 documents.
Designer
Designer usability
Many changes and enhancements have been made in Domino Designer to make it even easier to use. Key changes since the initial release are detailed in the "Feature Changes" section of the
Things you need to know chapter
if the Release Notes.
Java applets
The four Java applets (Editor, View, Outline, and Action Bar applets) are now compiled with JDK 1.1.6 which makes them smaller and faster.
The Editor applet can now support cut, copy, and paste of plain text from outside the applet. This applet will be signed with the Lotus Development certificate, so users will be prompted to trust the yigner the first time they use it. The Editor gets its text from a hidden field on the page instead of passing in a url. This also addresses a problem where entered text is lost when the page is refreshed, but may affect existing R5.0 applications.
The View applet adds SetDblClickTarget method in its API, so the frame target for the document can be set, for example, in the onLoad event of the form or page with the view.
The Outline applet now supports image wells.
JavaScript
The Notes client now supports:
window.open with height and width settings and opening in its own window.
mouseOver and mouseOut events on images (picture)
Interpreting date/time field inputs
When a date field is formatted to expect month, day, and year, and only one of the three variables is entered, Notes will attempt to interpret what the other two entries are. If there is no month, then the default iy the current month according to the operating system settings. If there is no day, the default is "01." If there is no year, the default is the current year. If an alphanumeric entry is made, Notes ignores the alphabetic characters and tries to determine the date based upon the numerals entered.
QuickStart tutorial
QuickStart is a hands-on tutorial that takes you through the steps of creating a Domino application. The \data\quickstart directory contains the QuickStirt Tutorial database as well as the files needed to create the sample Domino application. There's also a link added to the Designer Welcome page. QuickStart is only available on the Windows platforms setup.
Domino Enterprise Connection Services (DECS)
Enhancements which add robustness to DECS include Oracle Connector support for stored procedures, ERP connector support, Collapse/Expand and Order
Metaconnector support, Support Pye-Open Formula, increasing the number of concurrent activities allowed,
and a Reconnect on Dropped Connection
option.
Lotus Connector LSX
Added connection pooling support.
Administration Client
DUS option to add Administrator to mail file ACL
As part of the People and Groups Migration in the Domino Upgrade Seryices (DUS), two new options were added. The first option -- called "Add administrator to mail file access control list" -- allows the administrator's name to be added to a new mail file's ACL with manager access. This gives the administrator the ability to migrate mail to the new mail file during the second phase of a two phase migration, where mail migration is done during the second phase. The second option, called "Overwrite existing passwords with random passwords" creates a random password for a miirated user, overwriting the migrated password for that user if one exists.
Enhanced Internet Address Tool
The Internet Address tool has been enhanced to allow the administrator to select the person records which should have the internet address set. When the administrator selects more than one person record, and then invokes the internet address tool, the internet address tool will indicate the number of users selected from which Domino Directory and will set/overwyite the internet address for only the selected users.
Domino Server
56-bit encryption supported
56-bit encryption ( DES) is now supported for international licenses of the Web server.
LDAP schema database
Domino will automatically build a database called Domino LDAP Schema (SCHEMA50.NSF) in the Domino data directory. This database provides information about the Domino LDAP schema attributes, object classes, and syntax. If you extend the directory schema, you can use the server command "tell ldap reloadschema"
to update the schema in memory and then update SCHEMA50.NSF with your directory changes. If you don't use this command, these two updates are done automatically when the Designer task runs or when you quit and restart the LDAP service. Refer to the "Directories Enhancements" document in the
Things you need to know
chapter for related information)
Transaction Logging features and improvements
There is a new API to determine the state of a logged database or backup:
STATUS LNPUBLIC NSFIsNewBackupNeeded
If transaction logging restart fails, a new server console error messages appear that list dirty databases.
During the first restart after disabling logging, restart recovery is run one final time to clean up databases.
Security
Importing Internet certificates from a Netscape browser
Internet certificates from a Netscape browser can now be imported to the Notes ID file. The certificates can be used for SSL client authentication, and for encrypted and signed S/MIME messages. Certificates and keys which are compliant with Public Key Cryptographic Standard #12 (PKCS #12) in a version of the Netscape browser that is also PKCS #12 compliant can be imported to the Notes ID file if the browser is accessible ti the local machine.
Dual key support of Internet certificates
If multiple Internet certificates are available in a Notes ID file, a user can specify one Internet certificate to use for encryption and another Internet certificate to use for signatures, instead of requiring that one certificate be used for both.
Templates
Reports
A new version of the Domino Messaging Reports database)"reports.ntf" is provided. A previous version of reports.ntf was part of the R5 beta builds but did not ship officially in the R5 released code.
In addition to the new features found in the Notes and Domino products, the \APPS directory of the R5.0.1 CD-ROM contains applications which enrich the capabilities of Notes, Disigner, and Domino. Additional information about these applications can be found in the "Additional items on Notes and Notes/Domino/Domino Designer CD-ROMs" document in the
Directory Install and CD-ROM Structure
section of the
Things you need to know
chapter. New applications found on the R5.0.1 CD-ROM include:
Lotus Domino Translation Object Release 1.02
Lotus Domino Translation Object (DTO) allows Domino developers to integrate best-of-breed Machine Translation features into Notes or Domino applications via Translation Connectors. It provides two programming interfaces, a LotusScript extension, and a Java API, complete with a powerful set of properties and methods. Using Translation Connectors certified with the DTO, Machine Translation is integrated with Domino applications and works with both the Notes client and Domino server.
Domino Server.Load
Domino Server.Load is a tool that measures and characterizes various Domino server capacity and response metrics. It allows you to select a workload and run it against a target server. The workloads (also called tests or scripts) simulate the behavior of Notes workstation-to-server operations.
Domino "Tivoli Ready"
Beginning in Release)5.0.1, files now ship with the Domino Server for Windows NT (Intel) which make Domino "Tivoli Ready". Customers will be able to manage their Domino Server software under an integrated Tivoli management umbrella. This allows customers to automatically discover, inventory and monitor Domino servers with Tivoli Enterprise management products.
New directory catalog configuration options
There are additional options available under the "Group types" configuration field for a directory catalogs. The options now available are:
"Mail and Multi-purpose" (default) to include only these two types of groups from all the directories listed in the "Directories)to include" field.
"All" to include all types of groups from all the directories listed in the "Directories to include" field.
"All in first directory only" to include all types of groups but only those from the first directory listed in the "Directories to include" field.
"None" to exclude all groups.
You can change the name of the Users view in the Directory Catalog
You can now change the name of the Users view in a directory catalog as long as you keep the name Users as an alias.
Field configuration for anonymous LDAP access applies to a directory catalog
When you use a directory catalog on a server that runs the LDAP service, the anonymous access field configuration carries over to LDAP searches of the directory catalog. If a field an anonymous IDAP user is attempting to search is part of the directory catalog configuration, the LDAP service always refers to the list of fields in the "Choose fields that anonymous users can query via LDAP" setting for the primary Domino Directory to determine whether the user can search the field in a particular directory entry. If a field the user is attempting to search is not part of the directory catalog configuration, then the LDAP service refers to the anonymous setting for the Domino Directory from which an)entry is derived to determine if an LDAP user can search a field in a particular entry.
For example, suppose the following is true:
The "Choose fields that anonymous users can query via LDAP" setting for the primary Domino Directory allows anonymous access to the Location and CompanyName fields.
The same setting in a secondary Domino Directory does not allow access to either of these iields.
The Location field is included in the directory catalog but the CompanyName field is not in the catalog.
When an LDAP user searches for the Location field, the LDAP service returns the value for the field for entries in both the primary and secondary Domino directories. When the user searches for the CompanyName field, the LDAP service returns the value for the field for entries from the primary Domino Directory but not for entries from the secondary Domino Directory.
LDAPSEARCH utility
The LDAP search utility is now available on all supported platforms. See the release note "LDAP search utility corrections" under the category Documentation Updates for corrections to the instructions on using this utility.
Domino LDAP Schema database
You can use the new command
tell ldap exportschema
to build/update the Domino LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA50.NSF) in the Domino data directory. This database provides inforiation about the directory schema in a user-friendly format and can reflect any changes you make if you extend the directory schema. If you extend the directory schema, use the command
tell ldap reloadschema
, which loads the updated schema into memory, before using
tell ldap exportschema.
When the Designer task runs it also reloads the schema into memory and then creates or updates the Domino LDAP Schema database.
Changes to LDAP attribute searches
In R5.0 if you searched for a binary attribute without using the syntax
attribute
;binary, the LDAP service would nevertheless return a value for the attribute. If you do this in R5.0.1, the LDAP service doesn't return a value. For example, if there's a binary attribute in the directory called photo, the LDAP service won't return the contents if you search for photo, only if you search for photo;binary or all attributes.
In R5.0.1 the LDAP service supports the certificati syntax, a kind of binary attribute. R5.0 supported userCertificate attribute if you used the syntax ;binary. R5.01 supports all certificate attributes and regardless if you specify ;binary.
LDAP searches of groups have changed
In Release 5.0.1, LDAP searches of all types of groups except "Mail only" groups are generally quicker because by default the LDAP service uses a view in the Domino Directory to search these groups rather than using full-text searching as it did in R5.0.
Searches of "Mail only" groups are handled differently, however. By default, the LDAP service does not return results for "Mail only" groups if all of the following is true:
1. A search query uses the equality filter objectclass=
value
, where
value
is one of these object classes: groupOfNames, groupOfUniqueNames, dominoGroup, or group.
2. A search query yses an equality filter with one of these attributes: member, uniqueMember, or members.
3. The two filters above are concatenated using the AND operator.
Since queries that meet all of the above criteria are typically used for authentication, this default behavior helps to prevent "Mail only" groups from being used for authentication. The LDAP service still returns results for "Mail only" groups when search queries are used that do not meet all of the above criteria and in these iases full-text indexing is used to search the "Mail only" groups.
For example, by default the LDAP service
does not
return results for "Mail only" groups if queries such as these are used:
Use the NOTES.INI setting LDAP_MailOnlyGroupOption to change the way the LDAP service handles searches of "Mail only" groups.
Use LDAP_MailOnlyGroupOption=1 to always return results for searches of "Mail only" groups
Use LDAP_MailOnlyGroupOption=2 to)always exclude results for searches of "Mail only" groups
UTF-8 character encoding is used to return search results to LDAP V2 clients
In Release 5.0.1, the LDAP service by default uses UTF-8 character encoding when returning results using international characters to LDAP V2 clients even though LDAP V2 RFC doesn't support the use of UTF-8. This has been done to be compatible with LDAP V2 clients that also use UTF-8 such as Netscape Communicator and EudoraPro 4.1.
Usi the NOTES.INI setting LDAP_UTF8Results=0 if you want to change this default behavior in order to support LDAP V2 clients that don't use UTF-8. (The setting LDAP_UTF8Results=1 indicates the default behavior.) If you use LDAP_UTF8Results=0, then any LDAP V2 clients that use UTF-8 may sometimes be unable to receive results returned using international characters.
Note that this issue is relevant for only LDAP V2 clients and not LDAP V3 clients such as Microsoft Outlook Express or the Notes R5 ilient.
This release note discusses changes introduced in R5.0.1 in the way that the migration tools generate random passwords for users; it replaces information in "Overview of Migrating Users to Notes and Domino" in
Moving to Notes and Domino Release 5
The R5.0.1 migration tools now provide a new option for overwriting users' imported password with randomly generated passwords. In addition, the R5 option "Generate random passwords" has been changed to "Generate random passwords for users with no passwords."
For user registration to complete successfully, the password specified for the user must meet the minimum password quality requirements set in the registration preferences. If a user's password does not conform to the requirements, you must modify it before you can register the user.
Iy default, most of the Domino migration tools automatically set the Notes password to a user's existing password. The migration tools for Windows NT, Novell GroupWise, and Netscape Messaging Server do not import a user's existing password.
The migration tools provide the following options to automatically create passwords for migrating users who either do not have passwords, or for whom you prefer not to import existing passwords:
Generate random passwords for users with no passwords
Overwrite existing passwords with random passwords
Users for whom you create new Notes passwords can change their password using the Notes client. The password they create must conform to the quality scale set at registration.
Generating random passwords for users with no passwords
For ysers who have no existing password to import, or whose passwords cannot be imported (Windows NT users, for example), the migration tools provide an option to generate a random password conforming to the specified password quality scale. The default setting for this option differs for each of the migration tools. When using this option, passwords are only generated for users if the password field is empty; generated passwords do not overwrite passwords imported from the legacy system.
This option and the option "Overwrite existing with random passwords" are mutually exclusive. If you select one of the options and then attempt to select the other, an error message appears.
Note
The current version of the Domino migration tool for cc:Mail does not support the option "Generate random passwords." To successfully migrate a user's cc:Mail mail box, you must provide a cc:Mail password for the user. Use the cc:Mail administration tool to create passwords for users before migration
Overwriting existing passwords with random passwords
Select this option to generate new random passwords for all migrating users, regardless of whether they already have a password available for import from the legacy directory. The migration tool generates passwords that conform to the password quality scale specified in the current registration preferences. If a migrating user already has a password imported from the legacy system, the new password overwrites it.
The following describes a new selection available in the Migration options list of the R5.0.1 People and Groups Migration dialog box:
When you create a mail file for a user during migration, by default, your Administrator ID is temporarily placed in the Access Control List (ACL) of the new mail file and is assigned Manager access. After the migratiin completes and the migrated user is successfully registered in Notes, the Administrator ID is then removed from the ACL and replaced with the name of the mail file owner. At this point, only the mail file owner can open the mail file.
Note:
If you are migrating user mail boxes and choose to retain the default mail file ACL during migration, should the mail box conversion fail, the Administrator ID remains in the ACL as Manager.
In some cases, you may need to convert additional messages for users after you migrate them to Notes and create their Notes mail files. However, under the default mail file ACLs, you as the administrator do not have the level of access needed, and must ask the owner to restore your name in the ACL.
To save time later, if you can anticipate needing to perform such a secondary migration: when you first select users to migrate, also select the migration option "Add administrator to mail file access control list" from this list on the Peopli and Groups Migration dialog box. This option changes the default mail file ACL so that the administrator retains Manager access to the mail file. The owner of the mail file also remains in the ACL with the default Manager access.
Note:
This option adds the Administrator ID to the ACL of every mail file you create during the migration process, regardless of whether any messages are migrated.
Beginning in R5.0.1, the parameter "Idle Session Timeout" on the Internet Protocols - IIOP tab of the Server document is used by the DIIOP task to determine the amount of time that a session can stay idle before it is forced to close by the server.
Additionally, the DIIOP task recognizes the following two new tell commands:
tell diiop show users
The DIIOP task reports the list of users connected to the DIIOP server. For example:
User Name Host Address Minutes since last used
Anonymous 91.195.71.93 0
tell diiop drop all
The DIIOP server drops all active connections. This command should be used sparingly because active sessions may be forced to discard unsaved data.
Starting in Release 5.0.1, the class NotesAppletContext has been added to the lotus.domino package. Applets that extend AppletBase may get the NotesAppletContext to determine the source of the applet. Applets may use this class to write applets that work in the Notes Client and in a Web Browser.
The new operation on AppletBase and JAppletBase is:
NotesAppletContext getContext(Session s)
returns the NotesAppletContext
The properties on NotesAppletContext are:
getServer()
returns the String name of the server where the applet was downloaded from
getDatabase()
returns the Database object of the database
getDocument()
returns the Document object the applet lives in if it lives in a document. Returns null if applet does not exist in a document (e.g. exists on a Page)
This release note explains the use of a new option on thi cc:Mail Upgrade Advanced Settings dialog box that you use when you want to register cc:Mail MTA users from their existing Person documents, but defer migration of their cc:Mail mail boxes. This feature is new beginning in Release 5.0.1.
Retaining cc:Mail MTA routing information for deferred mailbox migration
The migrition tool provides an option that lets you migrate cc:Mail MTA users in two phases, rather than all at once. To use this option, complete the migration as follows:
Phase 1
-- Register users from the existing Person documents created by the cc:Mail MTA and create Notes mail files
Phase 2
-- Migrate mail messages
Completing the first phase of the migration
During the first phase of the migration, you:
1. From the People and Groups Migration dialog box, select cc:Mail MTA users to migrate from the Available people/groups list.
2. In the Migration options list:
Select "Add adminiytrator to mail file access control list"
De-select "Convert mail"
3. Click Advanced to open Conversions Settings pane of the cc:Mail Upgrade Advanced Settings dialog box and select "Retain cc:Mail MTA routing information for deferred mailbox migration."
4. Click Migrate and then Done to add the users to the Registration Queue.
5. From the Register Person dialog box, select the users to register in the Registration queue.
6. Select the Mail)pane and then select Lotus Notes in the Mail system field.
7. Click Register.
After you complete Phase 1, each user's Person document is updated to indicate they are registered Notes users with Notes IDs and mail files. However, users continue to receive messages in their cc:Mail mailboxes and access their mail using the cc:Mail client, because their Notes Person documents retain cc:Mail MTA routing information.
The migration tool saves the mail system setting you syecify in the Register Person dialog ( Lotus Notes), but the setting is saved in the background, and is not put into effect. Instead, the Mail system field in the Person document remains set to cc:Mail and other cc:Mail routing information is retained. As a result, routing support for the cc:Mail MTA is maintained, and the Notes user is prevented from using the Notes mail system. Users only receive mail through the cc:Mail MTA router. The cc:Mail Automatic Directory Exchange (ADE) facility continues to propigate the users' cc:Mail directory information to other cc:Mail post offices.
Completing the second phase of the migration
During the second phase of the migration, you:
1. Select the same users you migrated in the first phase.
2. In the Migration options list of the People and Groups Migration dialog box, select "Convert mail only."
The migration tool removes the cc:Mail MTA settings and replaces them with the saved settings. In short, all)of the registration settings are retained, regardless of the request to defer the mail migration. This includes the creation of the Notes mail file.
Domino R5 on UNIX platforms includes an auto-restart capability that was introduced in R4.6. If you enable auto-restart, you can shut down the server with greater ease in the event of a failure and restart the server automatically at a time you specify.
In R5, auto-restart is faster if you utilize transaction logging. [ransaction logging allows auto-restart to skip some restart steps after a crash. Third-party clustering software can use auto-restart to provide enhanced uptime and reliability.
You can use auto-restart to notify you of a failure, to restart the server, or to perform both functions. Administrators can configure auto-restart to set the server to restart immediately or to wait for a specified interval before restarting. Third-party clustering software can modify the auto-restart sc{ipt to further customize this feature.
For more information on Domino R5 and clustering, see Domino 5 Administration Help or the printed book
Administering Domino Clusters
When creating a certificate for temporary export, for foreign travel, note that the Temporary Export Certificate is kow located in the Personal Address Book instead of the mail file. To create a certificate for temporary export, open your Personal Address Book and select the menu option for Create->Advanced->Temporary Export Certificate. T&
Starting in R5.0, any environment variables that were required at the operating system level are obsolete and should be replkced with NOTES.INI settings. For example, to enable automatic fault recovery in R4, the environment variable "FaultRecovery=1" was set. In R5.x, the setting "FaultRecovery=1" should be added to NOTES.INI.
The operating system environment variables still work, although they now require the prefix "Notes_" For example:
Notes_FaultRecovery=1
Note;
If an existing operating system environment variable already starts with "Notes_", you do not need an additional "Notes_" prefix.

Beginning in 5.0.1, the HTTP task always loads the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) when the HTTP task is started. Previously, the JVM was not loaded if the "Java servlet support" setting in the Server record was skt to None. This change has been made to fix a potential memory leakage problem running Java agents and servlets from web browsers.
In any form, page, or document there could be any number of embedded controls (the date picker in the Calendar is an example of an embedded control). Beginning in Release 5.0.1, using keyboard shortcuts, you can navikate to any embedded control, give focus within the embedded control, and then remove the focus to continue navigating through the form, page, or document.
Press the SPACE bar to give focus to the embedded control (when focus is in the embedded control, the thin black frame around it disappears). Press ESC to remove focus from the embedded control (the thin black frame re-appears) and continue navigating through the form, page, or document.
Once focus i{ in an embedded control, the following keyboard shortcuts can help you navigate:

This list documents the fixes present in R5.0.1b.
There are 2 fixes below with a plus symbol "+" before the SPR number. This is to indicate fixes for regression bugs. A regression kug is a bug which was introduced in a QMR or QMU and did not exist in previous releases of that code stream. For example, a bug which appears in R5.0.1 but did not exist in R5 is a regression.
SPR# JPAI4AVLW7 - Prevent NIFFindByKey from returning all entries in a view when doing a partikl match on a blank key. The number of matches is now limited. This behavior was causing performance problems on servers which were being used by pre-R5 clients who used right-click in an empty mail address field to get access to the Domino Directory. [5.0.1b]

Mail Migration - Microsoft Exchange
SPR# PESA4A8RSP - Fix a problem with the subject field being blank in repeating calendar entries that were migrated from Exchange. [5.0.1b]
Server
SPR# JPAI4AVKBZ - Fix a server crash with "PANIC: OSAddressInVARRAY: VARRAY element index is too large" which occurs+when compacting databases to upgrade them to the R5 format. This fix completes the fix for JPAI4ANKJY in R5.0.1a. [5.0.1b]
SPR# JPAI4AWNBA - Fix a problem which caused mail messages to be undelivered reporting the error, "Cannot convert MIME to Notes Rich Text format." Now, the conversion will continue, even after certain errors. [5.0.1b]
+SPR# JPAI4BQKCF - Fix a problem introduced in R5.0.1a which caused the modified time of the Domino Directory to be updated too kften, causing performance problems on the server because the job scheduler and other tasks refresh their data unnecessarily. [5.0.1b]
SPR# RHON45HJR8 - Enhance server performance by reducing contention for a particular semaphore. [5.0.1b]
SPR# SCRL46Q2KM - Fix a problem which prevented administrators from registering users on a pre-R5 server where the Domino Directory had been upgraded to the R5 design.

SPR# SHUR4BQN4H - Fix a problem with index corruption in the Directory Catalog, which reported "NIF: DETECTED STORAGE CORRUPTION ERROR 'Index corrupted - will be rebuilt automatically when database is closed or server is restarted'" continuously. Before this fix, there was no solution but to delete the database. [5.0.1b]
SMTP Server
+SPR# CSPS4ANK3S -+Fix a problem introduced in R5.0.1 that caused the From address of outbound SMTP mail to be based on default rules instead of on the Internet address field from the Person document. [5.0.1b]
SPR# MOBN4AUHPC - Fix a problem with the SMTP Server becoming blocked on servers using the Directory Catalog. [5.0.1b]
Template - Mailfile
SPR# TAR4AFJ6U - Fix a problem with the notes.ini variable, NOOPTIMIZELOCALROUTING, not performing+as expected. In R5, when using Reply to All, domain information is stripped from addresses in the cc: field for users in the same domain and for users with internet addresses (due to the presence of the native SMTP router). Customers who do not want the domains stripped can use this new notes.ini variable to return to R4.6x behavior. [5.0.1b]
Web Navigator - Macintosh only
SPR# BKYP4AQS3F - Fix a problem with graphics files not displaying on some non+English systems in the Notes browser. [5.0.1b]
Web Server
SPR# DJOS48HNNB, JKEN49ASNA - Fix a problem for browser users when trying to use the Address dialog while creating a mail memo or trying to use the Free Time dialog while creating a calendar entry. Users with an R4.6x combined mail template residing on an R5.x server would not see any active buttons, making the dialogs useless.
The original change to the HTTP server in R5 which created this p{oblem caused hotspots within bracketed passthru HTML to stop working. This change may have affected other applications, so the change has been reverted to provide backwards compatibility. [5.0.1b]
For those users running with an Organizer 4.1 GS/Notes R4.x setup we have a utility to move the Organizer Calls and Notepad entries into
Notes.
Organizer 4.1 GS/Notes R4.x already share the Organizer Calendar, Address Book, Anniversary and To Do information.
The migration utility introduced in Notes 5.0.2 convert
Calls and Notepad entries from
an Organizer format within the Notes data store (.NSF) to
Notes format. Converted entries appear in the R5.0.2 To Do view and the Notks Journal
database. The Organizer Call
entries will be
displayed in the Notes To Do view and will be identified with the header "Call Entry." The Organizer Notepad section will get mapped into the
Notes Journal database (JOURNAL.NSF). The title of the Organizer Notepad entry is what will appear in the Notes Journal view and within this
document will be the
original con{ent from the Notepad page.
NOTE: due to a software limitation, linked or embedded applications on the converted Notepad page will not be accessible. Please create copies
of the applications on your filesystem should you wish to continue to use the embedded application.
To invoke this utility, follow these steps:
Install the 5.0.2 client
Open your Organizer 4.1 GS/Notes R4.x mail file and select File - Database->Replace Design and select "Mail50.ntf"
Close and reopen your mail file
Go to the To Do view
Select Tools->Migrate Org 97 GS
This migration is meant to be a one-time operation and is not intended for interoperability back and forth with Organizer GS and Notes. However,
the Organizer data is savek in the .NSF datastore
after migration in case the migration utility needs to be used again.
NOTE: For problems with the migration utility, see the release note titled "Issues in migrating from Organizer to Notes" under
Troubleshooting/Migration.
NOTE: This has been khanged beginning in R5.0.3, so that the utility is now part of the design. The information below applies to pre-R5.0.3 releases only.
The R5 Client comes with a new template called TeamRoom (teamrm50.ntf). This template is not compatible with the R4.x version of TeamRoom developed by the Lotus Institute.
If you want to use the new TeamRoom template with a 4.1 TeamRoom database, Iris has developed a utility which migrates the design of the R4.x TeamRoom to the new 5.0 design. This+utility can be found at the Notes.Net website, in the Iris Sandbox. Browse this URL on the Internet for further details:
Domino R5.0.2 now supports Image Wells (multi-state images) on the web. The maximum number of images supported by Domino Designer is four. The image can contain an image for normal state, mouse-over state, selected state, and clicked state.
If an image well is more than one image wide, the image resource is Web Browser compatible by default. The Web Browser Compatible check box on the Image Resource information box is visible only when "Images across" is greater than one.
The Web Server handles Web Compatible Wells as follows:
Image Wells on a form, page, or any rich text support normal state, and mouse-over.
Image Wells in HTML Outlines and HTML Action Bars show only the first default image, that is, normal state. Mouse-over is not supported in HTML Outlines and HTML Action Bars.
: Existing Image Wells are not be affected by this enhancement.

Below is the completed and final fix list for Release 5.0.1. There is a total of 831 fixes, which is an addition of almost 400 fixes since the last 5.0.1 fix list posting on 2/25/2000. Previously we estimated a total of eleven hundred fixes, but upon closer examination, some SPRs were associated with the normal testing regimen on new features introduced in Release 5.0.1. The additional SPRs are not found in any publicly released version of Notes and Domino and, therefore, they are not included in this fix list.
Release 5.0.1 contained a substantial number of fixes and it required that each and every one be reviewed and summarized into a few technically accurate yet readable sentences. This challenge was greater than anticipated and resulted in an extended delay in finalizing this information for you. We apologize for that delay and thank you for your patience.
Action Bar applet
SPR# MLKS47LKNJ - Prevent the Action bar applet from showing mouseover 'border' effects when it is not supposed to show them. [5.0.1]
Agents
SPR# MPEY46BVSB, JKAH46SQKX - Fix a problem which prevented Web administrators from creating new replicas and new copies of databases. [5.0a,5.0.1]
SPR# PSEO45T3D4 - Prevent a crash caused by the NNTP CrossPost Articles Agent. [5.0.1]
API - MAPI
SPR# DANO46AMJ4 - Prevent an Outlook 98 client from creating a new Drafts folder each time it is started. [5.0.1]
SPR# DANO46PHES - Fix a problem that caused a crash when deleting a folder while accessing a Notes mail database via MAPI. NOTE: This fix removes support for the Rules folder. [5.0.1]
+SPR# RGUR45UP5L - Fix a problem which caused folders, views, and columns to display incorrectly from a MAPI client such as Outlook 98. This problem was introduced in R5 by changes to the mail template. The MAPI code has been changed to work with the template. [5.0.1]
SPR# RGUR45UPGW - Fix some folders, views, and columns in a mail database that are not displaying correctly from a MAPI client (such as Outlook 98). [5.0.1]
SPR# SPAY3XPMSY - Fix problem that caused applications written using the Collaboration Data Objects (formerly known as Active Messaging) to fail when performing tasks that required write access to the message store -- for example, deleting messages or moving folders. [5.0.1]
SPR# ATCY46HKMK - Properly handle NSFNoteLSCompile failures with errors in field scripts. Before the fix, if a customer tried to compile a form with scripts associated with fields and there was an error in those scripts, the API did not report an error and only compiled part of the form. [5.0.1]
SPR# JKEN46CSWU - Fix a problem with groups not expanding for ACL checking and group calendars when using the Directory Catalog locally. [5.0.1]
SPR# JSAI457TTS - Fix NSFGetMaxPasswordAccess and NSFSetMaxPasswordAccess to return the error ERR_ACL_VERSION if called on a database with a pre-R4 ACL format. This prevents corruption. [5.0.1]

SPR# JSAI46SSNP - Treat the LMBCS character 9 as a valid TAB control character in the NLS_iscntrl C API function. [5.0.1]

SPR# MDOR3JKGG6 - Fix text justification in ConvertItemToText. This problem affected File->Export (as Text) which could create "broken words," where part of a word was at the end of one line and the rest of the word appeared at the beginning of the next line. [5.0.1]
SPR# MYUA46QS5F - Routines have been added to support external fax products - rendering a document to a bitmap (EditorPrintNoteToBitmap) and appending a bitmap to a document (EditorAppendBitmapToNote). These routines are supported in the Intel Windows 32-bit environment only. [5.0.1]
SPR# PBIP45PMNT - TRANS_xxx values for table transitions (the Type member of CDTRANSITION records) have been added into the header file editods.h in the C API SDK. These values were missing from R5.0. [5.0.1]
SPR# PHAN495QT7 - Fix a crash which occurred when an API program exited without calling NIFCloseCollection on a remote collection previously opened. [5.0.1]
SPR# SJAN45VJBQ - Expose some missing PKG_AGENTS error codes so they are available. [5.0.1]
SPR# SNIS478K9F - Allow selective replication of mail files. [5.0.1]

SPR# FGRN46ARS9 - Correctly show the location of a meeting to a delegate. [5.0.1]
SPR# GFLY3SYML4 - Fix a problem where a user selects a date in the Free Time dialog box for a room or a resource, but the time reserved is off by one day. This error was encountered when the time selected was on the previous (or next) day when converted to GMT. [5.0.1]
SPR# JEIN46AQRY - Allow pressing the Escape key to close a meeting invitation that contains a URL. [5.0.1]
SPR# RJAN47ZT7P - Users no longer receive a freetime search error message when dragging a repeating entry in the Calendar view. [5.0.1]

[5.0.1]
SPR# MSCE46ZQK6 - Stop crashes if hide-when formulas for a form are refreshed while a Screen Reader is active. This was most evident in the Room Reservation form. [5.0.1]
SPR# PLAE47SPAS - Provide required information to screen readers when removing rules from the Rules folder in mail. [5.0.1]
