You can set whether a NotesItem should be saved to disk or not when a document is saved.And that is really cool. Why ?Because this a a great way to have temporary values and calculations on the document itself, when you are working with the documentand you do not have to worry about ever getting these values on the disk version of the document.</description> <pubDate>Sun, 01 Oct 2023 20:57:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/the-very-useful-little-feature-of-a-notesitem</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

There is nothing you can do in the UI to fix it. The problem is due to a new setting in the notes.ini and and is easy fixable, if you know what to fix You need to reset a new setting in 12.0.2 to default and it works again after a Notes restart. Workspace_Navigator_Width=170 Or just create a button with the LS code and send it to the user. Sub Click(Source As Button) Dim session As New NotesSession Call session.SetEnvironmentVar( "Workspace_Navigator_Width", "170",True ) End Sub UPDATE: Just saw another variant where workspace fills all area and no tabs. Fortunately same fix :-)</description> <pubDate>Wed, 17 May 2023 09:11:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/workspace-all-grey---no-icons---workaround</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

The integration from HCL Verse contacts to other apps on the phone breaks. This meant that in recent calls, SMS etc only a phone number would be shown, and not the name of the contact. A reinstall of HCL Verse would normally fix this for a while and then it would break again. HCL blames Samsung for the issue, and the issue does not seem to get fixed. I have found a quick workaround to fix the issue when it arises. Go to Application settings in HCL Verse and then to the "People" section. Unclick "Export Verse Contacts", and enable it again. This will get Contacts integration working again (...until it breaks again)</description> <pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2023 09:34:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/hcl-verse-contacts-integration-on-samsung-phones-not-working---a-quick-workaround</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

It is the indexer which gets stuck with very high CPU usage I have a support case with HCL. It seems that it is the dynamic view indexing added to the recent releases of Domino which is the reason behind this. This feature polls the database for data for getting information on which views are frequently updated. https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/11.0.0/high_usage_views.html Disabling the feature brings back the CPU usage to normal again. You can do this by setting NIF_VIEW_USAGE_ENABLED=0 in notes.ini, if you have enabled the feature</description> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Jan 2023 11:39:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/hcl-domino-view-indexer-stuck-with-very-high-cpu-usage</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

I have have removed all options,but the signature feature for the field.This what the RT field looks like in edit mode before entering data Clicking on the button shows a dialog box for entering a signatureThis is what I entered in the signature dialog box This is what it looks like after clicking on the OK button (it looks the same in read mode) Only a part of the image seem to be saved in the field. Only a part of the image seem to be saved in the field.

I tested the 64 bit clients (Notes, Admin and Designer) earlier this year and it was a good experience despite it being a beta version. It seemed faster than the normal 32- bit version and just as stable. Normally I can only shutdown my 32 bit Notes, Admin and Designer correctly 50% of the time, The other 50% it will crash doing shutdown and hang. The hanging Notes tasks would then have to be killed in task manager. I did not experience that at all with the 64-bit version. Unfortunately I had to uninstall due to a fatal bug in the designer, but this is to be expected in a beta version.</description> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 10:50:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/hcl-notes-client---64-bit-i-am-really-looking-forward-to-it</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

Sorry. However I will be very glad if HCL would come forward and in a clear way state ...there is no security issue and explain what is going on in the Domino server when using PassThru. They are then free to call me an idiot afterwords :-) HCL Software does not have a Security Bounty ProgramHowever to add to the mix of all this ..I do not understand why HCL Software do not have a Security Bounty Program ? https://www.hcltech.com/software/psirt/hcl-software-vulnerability-disclosure-policy An easy way to report security issues. Every other big software company does. "Domino Does Not Get Hacked. Ever." HCL writes this on https://www.hcltechsw.com/domino/domino-security-is-best Now that is of course a stupid thing to write ...because there is no software which is completely unhackable and safe. For one I wrote about the highly insecure ... (Websphere) connector Security hole leaves IBM Domino server wide open - Part One A feature which HCL ended removing from Domino beginning in V12.0.1 due to its potential security issues (and bringing it back in V12.0.2 .....why??) Yes, HCL Domino has a great security model, because it is simple and logical in its nature. But anyone who has worked with Notes/Domino for years knows that it is not perfect and has its cracks here and there. Support Case The reason I did not create a support case is that I do not have access to create a support case. I am a BP and but I do not have access to create a support case. I did try many to times to get it fixed and get access to support, but in the end I just ran out on energy on the matter Instead I have since created many cases through a customers support account, so I believe I have done my share :-) ....</description> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2022 13:58:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/the-domino-passthru-server-security-issues---follow-up</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.

If you have 5 Domino servers on your internal network, and only one external IP address, it can be difficult to get access to more than one Domino server from the internet. To remedy this you can set up the one Domino server you can access from the internet to be a Passthru server. This server can then redirect the income traffic to the relevant Domino server. Pretty smart and very simple to setup. However.... Real life ... broken securityWe were all trusting IBM and then HCL that security is in good hands. In general it is .. HCL has done a lot of catching up the last years to get "up to par" with the security and standards generally used in other products. But somehow Passthru seem to have fallen between the cracks In the old days you could not see if a connection was secure and encrypted on the console you had to trust IBM/HCL things were working. But nowadays you can set these settings in notes.ini to get valuable information log_authentication=1 DEBUG_PORT_ENC_ADV=1 The server then will show details about the connections to the server Example: T:AES:128 E:1: P:t:e S:AES-GCM:256 A:2:1 L:N:N:N FS:DHE-2048+X25519 The E:1 in the connection details show that the connection is encrypted (Read more here: https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0040530) But if you have a Notes client trying to use the Domino server as a Passthru server you will see this: T:AES:128 E:0: P:p:e S:RC2:0 A:2:1 L:N:N:N FS: As you can see now the connection is no longer encrypted! All Domino servers here have a port setup to force an encrypted connection in their port settings. The Notes client here is also setup to use encryption. And yet if we look at the connection details when server is accessed as a Passthu server there is no encryption. This is bad, ....it is actually really bad. Mostly because I had been using Passthru for years .... that scares me a bit but also because I have been thinking I have been in good hands with IBM/HCL all these years...but have not. There may be a good explanation and calming words from HCL ...but I doubt it Next step would of course be to use a network sniffer to monitor what is actually happening From the console it seems that it is the connection used to authenticate at the Passthru server that is not encrypted and that connection to the destination server does get encrypted Am I hit?If passthru is enabled on the Domino server, you are out of luck. "But I do not use a Passthru connection from my Notes client!" ..... if your Notes client is trying to reach any unreachable server...it will try to use Passthru in the end, and connect unencrypted. Most likely this will happen, since you will not have access to all of your servers at any given time. Something like a scheduled replication may even trigger it. Even trying to access a fake server name will start a Passthru connection. It is easy to test your Domino setup yourselfEnable Passthru on the server. Do a trace and see what it writes on the console Hopefully HCL will explain what is going on and fix the issue with Passthru servers in a release soon Advice - how to disable Passthru Server: In the Server document make sure to remove ALL data in the "Route through" field. Anything in here and the server is then a Passthru server Client: In the local address book remove any connection documents using Passthru as way of connecting to a server This is what a Trace should say if server and client are correctly setup:</description> <pubDate>Tue, 24 May 2022 19:24:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>http://nevermind.dk/nevermind/blog.nsf/subject/has-the-domino-passthru-server-been-a-big-security-hole-all-these-years</guid> <dc:creator>Jesper B.
