This weekend I moved one of my servers to a new provider while upgrading it to current CentOS 8.1 release. Beside disabling root access, implementing fail2ban and certificate based authentication, I checked additional multi-factor authentication.

The syntax of specifying the notes.ini via =/local/notesdata/notes.ini is a cross platform feature I was aware of. But I didn't know how deep this is hooked into the Notes/Domino code. For the Domino core server tasks and client programs this is build-in by skipping the parameter when it starts with a = And the core takes automatically care of it.

There is a new IF released today. I have been waiting for this fix, because I quite often crashed my client when deleting the trash folder. Or even deleting all documents I searched for. Also in a calendar view a delete caused a crash.
