When using the "preview pane" in HCL Notes, and clicking on a folder, suggested by SwiftFile, the "move to folder" dialogue would sometimes come up. This was happening to my client, in about 1 of 20 cases

HCL Traveler – Cleaning up the “lotustraveler.nsf” database  

By Milan Matejic | 9/17/21 1:25 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

If you are seeing some old and invalid objects in the "lotustraveler.nsf", on the HCL Traveler server, try running "tell traveler cleanup show" command. It will show you which entries are obsolete and could be deleted. Provided that you are OK with the result, run the "cleanup" command without the "show" option, this command will delete the entries previously shown.

By Milan Matejic | 1/26/21 2:28 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

If you are using ADFS with Domino as a Single Sign-On solution, and you get a call from a friendly user telling you that Single Sign-On stopped working, check if you are seeing the following error on the HCL Domino server console: SECCheckAndParseSAMLResponse> VerifyAssertionSignature : Document has been modified or corrupted since signed!

HCL SafeLinx 1.1.1 & HTTP Strict-Transport-Security   

By Milan Matejic | 12/11/20 4:37 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

After a SafeLinx Deployment I wanted to set the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security header, but there was nothing in the documentation about it, and I also could not find any option regarding this in the SafeLinx Administrator client settings. So I opened a Support case. According to the support you can use the command line on the HCL SafeLinx server to set the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security header as well as any other token header.

If you are trying to use SPNEGO as the means for authenticating HCL Notes Connections Plug-In and you run into an issue, check if "Use the alias host name for the application server" option is used on Websphere Application Server and if that is the case try turning it off.

Creating an LTPA Token – Without WAS Network Deployment Server  

By Milan Matejic | 10/9/20 5:50 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

Recently I was installing an HCL Sametime 11 environment from scratch. I always tend to implement a single LTPA Token across the Domino, Sametime and/or Connections environment. It is also a very good idea to use only the LTPA Token version 2, as it is more secure, but this also means that the LTPA Token has to be created by a WebSphere server.

We decided to Deploy the AppDev Pack 1.0.1 (later on I upgraded the package to the 1.0.2 version) in a test environment and test this out.

APNs Certificate used for Traveler 9.0.1.21 Expires soon!  

By Milan Matejic | 3/14/19 10:48 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

The APNs certificate implemented in IBM Notes Traveler 9.0.1.21,will expire on 30th March and therefore the Push Notifications for Apple iOS devices will not be possible with the "default" certificate. The easiest way to make sure that the Push Notifications functions properly is to update your Traveler Server to 10.0.0.0 or newer release.

The optimism, high hopes and anticipation for the Domino v10 was clearly not missing at the Bleed Yellow Party, the night before the official Domino v10 Launch event.
