Software News! (follows) Lotus Foundations RUN : Vmware Server 2.0 Scalable Services Branch Office 1.1.0a Reach Server 1.0.0a Developer toolkit to deploy Domino pkgs Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Lotus Foundations RUN : Vmware Server 2.0 The Lotus Foundations Run feature provides users with the ability to run Windows applications on a Lotus Foundations server. When you find that you want to use the functions of idb and the ease of user management, but the client has an application that has to run on a Windows operating system. A VMware server runs in an NVS environment. The user interface within the Webconfig console provides the ability to control the virtual server and customize configuration and backup settings. Note: For the Lotus Foundations Run add-on, Lotus Foundations Start must be installed on a hardware platform and not as a virtual machine itself. VMware Server 2 for Linux does not work on a virtual installation of Lotus Foundations Start. Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Lotus Foundations RUN : Vmware Server 2.0 What can you need: 2 GB of physical memory (in addition to what is required for Lotus Foundations Start). A license key from VMware for VMware Server version 2 for Linux. Lotus Foundations Run installation package. VMware Server 2 add-on for IBM Lotus Foundations Run 1.1 installation package.

Scalable Services Definition Lotus Foundations scalable services are not intended to replace the functionality provided by Microsoft Windows domains. They are designed with the intention of making Lotus Foundations more scalable by centralizing the administration of a group of Lotus Foundations servers. Scalable services employ a master-slave network model, enabling a single master server to centrally manage all users and licensing for multiple slave servers. There are three main features of Lotus Foundations scalable services: • User synchronization • Domain Name Service (DNS) synchronization • Scalable services licensing and user licenses Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Scalable Services User synchronization Lotus Foundations scalable services helps you centrally manage user and team information from the Lotus Foundations scalable services master server. The synchronization of users and team includes ALL user configuration information, including the following information: • Username • Password • Full Name • Team membership • Administrative rights • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) setting • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) setting • Drive mounting • Disk quota Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Scalable Services DNS Synchronization (Domain Name Service) This feature includes the ability to propagate workstation host names to the other nodes so that workstations and servers may be addressed by name across an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) virtual private network (VPN) rather than just by Internet Protocol (IP) address. The master accumulates lists of all host names from each slave, combines these lists with its own list of local host names, and distributes it to each of the slaves that has DNS Sync enabled. To resolve situations in which there are identical host names on different servers, DNS Sync sorts the list of host names such that hosts that are local to the current server are resolved first. That is, on a slave, local host names take priority over host names local to the master which, in turn, take priority over those on other slaves. DNS Synchronization allows a scalable services region with multiple locations to use a single domain name across the entire region. By synchronizing with the master server on specified intervals, the slave servers also acquire the ability to recognize the region’s domain and propagate it throughout the region. This makes it even easier to recognize all the servers by name, such as master.domain.com, slave1.domain.com, and slave2.domain.com, rather than having each node using their own domain name. Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Scalable Services Scalable Services and end users licensing User license management is simplified with scalable services. One user license is automatically synchronized to each slave for each user (or team that has its own password) synchronized to that slave. This means that in a typical setup, the master server is purchased with sufficient user license so that each user/team has one and slave servers do not need to be purchased with any. The master scalable services node requires user licenses for each user in the region. User accounts that are no longer being synchronized to the slaves are not automatically deleted (and hence may use a user license on the slave). This is not of great consequence because the number of user licenses a slave has allocated to it depends on the accounts that are being actively synchronized. That is, extra (old) accounts on the slave are locked out. By using scalable services, you can convert the Lotus Foundations user licenses on the master server into network user licenses. You no longer need to worry about user licenses for any of the slave servers, as they will automatically inherit any required user licenses from the master server for all users controlled by the master server.

Branch Office Definition Lotus Foundations Branch Office is designed to be used by a branch office location connected into an existing primary Domino Enterprise server for the purpose of local replication and sending and receiving email and other Lotus Domino features. It is assumed that you already have a configured Domino Enterprise server capable of interacting with secondary Domino servers and that you have full administrative access to the infrastructure that you are working with. It must be used as a ″spoke″ within an existing Lotus Domino Enterprise server ″hub and spoke″ infrastructure Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Branch Office Definition (...follows) It must connect into a hub that is a Lotus Domino Enterprise server or IBM Lotus Domino Messaging Server It can be used with up to 500 users The Lotus Foundations Branch Office server cannot be clustered Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Branch Office Installation: how we have to do Install Lotus Foundations Core and after Lotus Foundations Branch Office 1.1.0a Copy to / local / notesdata the file server ID, generated by the Domino Enterprise Server Enable remote configuration of a Domino server and make the first setup as additional server After the configuration, administration is done using the Domino Administrator from the server that we can consider the Primary Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Reach Server 1.0.0a To know Resolve problems and questions through clear, high-quality communications Access distributed teams in real time Communicate quickly with anybody on the network Work with others as if they are in the same room Offer access to expertise and knowledge throughout the organization Provide all of this within a security-rich system that can help minimize risk Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Reach Server 1.0.0a Integrated services Lotus Foundations Reach Server è un servizio nativo che permette di avere i seguenti servizi di comunicazione : • Company-wide instant messaging and presence • Lotus Sametime awareness and chat features on a Microsoft Windows Mobile device, Research in Motion BlackBerry device, Nokia ESeries, or Sony Ericsson mobile device • Rich text, time stamps, spell check and emoticons • Multi-way chat • Built-in VoIP and point-to-point video • Out-of-the-box integration with IBM Lotus Notes • Optional file transfer • Chat histories • Location awareness • Contact list with type-ahead and search • Contact business cards Enzo Stanzione www.stanzioneproject.com

Reach Server 1.0.0a ...depth It installs like any other applications that run on Lotus Foundations Start. Requires a minimum 2GB of RAM and Lotus Foundations Start 1.1 or higher It consists of two parts: • The server side • The connect client • The client can be distributed stand-alone or integrated into the Lotus Notes Client VOIP systems can integrate with existing (but I have not tried yet!)

Tips & Tricks Customers told us they have problems with Lotus Foundation, but in the end the fault was theirs. Here are some "false" anomalies! 1 Slowness in transferring files from LF to MAC and vice versa. 2 Crash IMAP service (Domino IF5 solved it!). 3 TimeZone and update time. 4 Problems downloading mail from external POP3. 5 Interpretation of logs and where they are.
