I work at Vegard IT GmbH as a senior consultant, focusing on collaboration software, Kubernetes, security, and automation. I primarily work with HCL Connections, WebSphere Application Server, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and Linux. My daily work occasionally leads to technical talks and blog articles, which I share here more or less regularly.

Updated - Thoughts About Sharing Files Via Link - IBM Connections 6.0 CR4
·575 words·3 mins
The last IBM Connections 6.0 CR4 introduced the new feature “Sharing Files via Link”. A quite handy way to share files with users by link. Just open the file, go to sharing and select “Share by Link”.
“Share by Link” makes it easy to share and grant read access to personal and Community files.
Use OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication with IBM Connections Mobile App
·389 words·2 mins
A lot of people don’t like to store credentials in mobile apps or browsers. A good workaround is the usage of OAuth 2.0 tokens, but the application needs to support it and the server you’re talking to too. The IBM Connections Mobile App can use it for authentication.
OAauth2 can be used directly with WebSphere Application Server and Connections 6.0. There are no special OAuth servers or applications needed!
The Documentation at IBM was a little bit confusing for me, there are lots of sidenotes, but you just need to do following steps, to use OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication with the IBM Connections Mobile App.
