HCL Traveler is one of those addons for Domino that just works. If you have a properly configured HTTPS stack, you install it, start it and you’re basically done. From now on, you can connect your mobile devices to your Domino server to read your mail and calendar. At least, that has always been my experience until very recently. The other day I was sent to a customer to fix their problem with Traveler. They had upgraded their Domino server and Traveler installation from 8.5.3 FP5 to 12.0.1 FP1. Everything worked (Kudos for Domino!) except Traveler. Though on further discussion with the client it became clear that Traveler actually already broke earlier and hadn’t been working for the past 6 years or so.

As I wrote in my last post about the Engage conference, a lot has happened in the Domino container space since I wrote my articles, as Daniel Nashed did some serious refactoring on all scripts, removing an insane amount of old code lines and adding some new functionality. This article will show the changes to the project compared to the time that I wrote the original 6-part series.
