Keep HCL Domino JVM settings during upgrade? 
By Remco Angioni | 10/9/23 2:58 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
When you have added custom settings in the Domino JVM environment, and upgrade Domino....you noticed that all your settings are gone. Even the custom JARS are removed. There is a way to keep them during the upgrade of Domino, and that's to tell Domino JVM that the files are on a different location...outside the Domino
My thoughts on how Domino registers users
By Remco Angioni | 10/2/23 2:00 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
We all know Domino registers users. You need the certifier for the correct O or OU and the user is created with the hierarchical Full Name as the certified user. So, the hierarchical Full Name is the unique key. When you add users to a group, the hierarchical Full Name is added to the group.When you add users to the ACL, the hierarchical Full Name is added.
Don’t you all hate the DELETE/RENAME Adminp actions? It can take days before finishing, depending the amount of servers you have. And somtimes……it fails or got stuck in the flow.
HCL Domino rename via ADMINP does not check the new username in IDVault’s inactive users view.
By Remco Angioni | 10/2/23 1:59 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
We discovered some strange behavior during a user rename. The user was renamed via ADMINP. AdminQ pushed the renameflow that evening, because we enabled AdminQ also for registered users. The next morning we checked the rename and everything looks fine. But.....the user logged in, still with his old name and received an error that he wasn’t allowed to access the Domino server.
HCL Domino 12.0.2: removed user-maildatabase in a cluster symmetry configuration is repaired after removed on 1 server.
By Remco Angioni | 5/8/23 1:01 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
n HCL Domino 12.0.2 we discovered that when we delete users, some maildatabases are repaired back to the home/mail Domino server……running on Windows servers.
Like all of you know, when removing a user from a clustered Domino environment, the cldbdir entry for that database is altered to REPAIR:DISABLED. Repair is not allowed for that database. We raised a ticket because we noticed, ofcourse, that this was not the case for some users we removed. The database was repaired from another clustermember. This left us with 2 maildatabases and NO persondocument.
Domino Server: Let adminp handle renames in maildatabases, but don’t delete users in name fields.
By Remco Angioni | 5/5/23 1:26 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Ever wondered why adminp treats a deletion the same as a rename when you have set the Administration Server Action to Modify all Names fields? Well, I did. I can imagine why a rename should be performed on all mail and calendar items, but a user deletion?????? Why you want that to happen at all?Why remove the evidence that someone have sent me an email or have sent me a meeting request? It doesn’t make sense at all to me.
That’s why I was searching for a way to tell Domino not to delete users in names fields, just renames when using adminp in maildatabases. And there it is, the solution.

By Remco Angioni | 12/23/22 4:16 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
After upgrading the Domino to 12.0.2, TrendMicro scanmail stops working. The cause is C API OSLoadLibrary changes in Domino 12.0.2.
TrendMicro had identified the problem and created a temp workaround for it.

Tweak the first save-attachment location within HCL Notes | Angioni's Blog
By Remco Angioni | 2/28/22 2:24 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
When you want to move the default save location, for your attachments, from %TEMP% to C:\LOCAL\TEMP, than this cannot be done from a policy. We opened a case at HCL support and after 2 weeks, because support also didn't knew how to do it, the answer came from development.
HCL Domino’s IDVault: Enabling automatic restart of ID file synchronization | Angioni's Blog
By Remco Angioni | 12/15/21 2:08 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
It can happen that the sync between your userid used in Notes client and IDVault is broken. It will fail to sync when the password in your local ID file is different from the one in the IDVault.
But there is a way to get it up and running again…..automatically

Installing Sametime V11.6 or Traveler V11.x on Linux with a small-sized /tmp volume.
By Remco Angioni | 7/5/21 2:22 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Sometimes a Linux deployment comes with a too small sized /tmp volume. Normally installers detects this and reports an error and stop the installation. Sametime 11.x and Traveler 11.x only detects it, but continue with the message that the installer is now using /root as their temp folder in order to continue its installation.

HCL Verse: read and write encrypted mail without your userid
By Remco Angioni | 5/19/21 1:41 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
When you want to read and/or write encrypted mail, you normally need to have uploaded your notes.id into your HCL Notes mail database. Now, when the technique evolves, it’s no longer necessary to upload it manually. It’s even harder when you work natively from the IDVault, because your ID is loaded into memory.
Overrule external mailflow in Domino in case of ForeignDomain *.* to AllInternetHosts
By Remco Angioni | 11/30/20 2:35 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
When you have setup the SMTP routing by Foreign Domain document and pulling the mail towards 1 or more OutBound SMTP Domino servers, you cannot add an alternative route for mail and outbound SMTP flow. Every mail is routed to the defined SMTP Domino server in the connection documents.

HCL Nomad Web, the new client for HCL Domino
By Remco Angioni | 3/8/20 11:21 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
Without replacing the “old” HCL Notes client, HCL introduced a new client. HCL Nomad Web will work from within your browser as it is the Notes Client. A download less then 100MB will be enough to start the client.
Still works with your notes.id in the Vault and uses all Domino security layers. Secure like before !! And with the upcoming 2FA ( MFA ) starting with HCL Domino V12, it’s clear….we are ready for it.
IBM VOP 1.0.5IF1
By Remco Angioni | 11/11/18 6:37 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse
For those who installed VOP1.0.5, loading the INBOX wasn’t working anymore. Seems there was a bug in the 1.0.5 release.
But after installing the IF1, it’s up and running again. All the new features are working nice. I enabled the Gravatar option and you can see the results. It’s working perfectly.
Website from Windows Domino migrating to Linux casing issues

Ever migrated a website running on a Microsoft Windows Domino environment to a Linux Domino environment.
The first thing you CAN detect, is that developers are sometimes not so strict using the UPPER- and lowercase in their code when defining folders.

When facing a routing-performance problem at a customers’ SMTP server, i took a look into my documentation which i collected through the years.
When you create a list from all tweaks and tips, it’s really a good idea to think about implementing some of them into your IBM Domino infrastructure.
