The other month, I got my feet wet with Docker after only conceptually following it for a long time. With that, I focused on getting a basic Jakarta EE app up and running with an active Notes runtime by way of the official Domino-on-Docker image provided by HCL.

NSL (Notes Shared Login) uses Windows Data Protection API (DP-API) to protect the internal long&secure password set to the Notes.ID when NSL is enabled. In earlier releases the DP API was binding the encrypted data to the machine and it could not roam.

In my previous blog post, HCL Notes SwiftFile, I started by briefly describing some new functionalities in HCL Notes 11. Some of these functionalities need to be specifically enabled through settings in the preferences or by adding new parameters in the notes.ini file. A new level of security in HCL Notes 11 can be added using the new Three Click Support functionality. This functionality must be enabled through a notes.ini setting. Below is a brief description of this functionality. Three click support adds a level of security when a user opens an attachment within an email. The Open-Save-View dialog box still appears after a user double clicks an attachment. When three click support is enabled the user will then be prompted to confirm the action they have chosen in a second message box.

Recently we have extensively tested HCL Notes 11 and HCL Notes 11.0.1 in our test environment prior to upgrading the clients in the production environment.

The first new functionality is Swiftfile for HCL Notes. SwiftFile assistant is integrated with HCL Notes in 11.0.1. In previous releases it was provided separately.

Due to an issue with the JVM installed with Domino V11.0.1, Let's Encrypt 4 Domino a.k.a LE4D throws an error, when the tool tries to import the new / renewed certificate into the Domino keyring file. It's only an issue when running the Domino server on Windows.

One of the main innovation in HCL Verse 2.0 is the ability to install and run Verse as a standalone browser application based on Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology. So it’s not just a tab stored in your browser, but it works as a standalone application.
