Notes Client 8.5.3 and Domino-SSO for Connections Plugins

Posted on by

In only two weeks starts LCTY Edcom Nachlese 2012 in Munich.

I prepare a session on Single Sign On in Notes / Domino environments.

So i had time to check some settings in Lotus Notes. Since 8.5.3 we have a new option Domino-SSO for Connections Plugin.

Preference Settings Lotus Notes 8.5.3

I made several tests with my installed Notes Client on Mac OS, but i had no success. I tested with several settings in the preferences dialog and with different settings in plugin_customization.ini.

I had one configuration where i can use Sametime Tokenbased Login and leave “Domino Single Sign-On Server” empty in connections preferences, but this works only with running Notes Client and i had to apply the setting again after restart the client.

Now i deleted the Expeditor folder in my Notes Data to reconfigure the client. What should i say? The SSO-Server works now. I had to use the hierarchical Domino server name. It would be interesting, which technique is used here, because the Domino and Connections Server are in different domains, so it is no LTPA SSO.

Update

Only a short add-on. It is LTPA SSO, but i think domain from Web SSO document gets applied.

Notes Plugin “Status Updater” shows no pictures

Thanks to Marcel de Hoog, i got a solution for the missing pictures in Status Updater Plugin in Lotus Notes.

Add com.ibm.lconn.statusupdates/download.image.enabled=true to your plugin_customization.ini. This works on Windows and Mac OS! Haven’t tested it on Linux.

Running Sync_All_DNS as scheduled task on Windows 2008

Posted on by

To automate the sync_all_dns.bat on my IBM Lotus Connections Servers, i made a scheduled task for the Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) script. This works fine on Windows 2003.

Today i discovered that my scheduled task on Windows 2008 wasn’t running since i switched the operating system to Microsoft Windows 2008.

After a search i found that i need to set a optional parameter, then it works:

To start bat- or cmd-files, you have to insert the path to this script in “Start in (Optional)”. When i start the script without “Start in” the scheduler gives a “SUCCESS” Status, but nothing happens!

You can test with schtasks /run /tn "taskname" and have a look on [tdisolutionpath]/logs/ibmdi.log.
