 XPages and Team Room
 Provides a team space for documents and discussion
 Preview teamroom activity (such as a user adding a
document related to a sales product tracked in the XPages
application)
 Flexibility of user access to team room compared to XPage
application documents
 Teamroom provides task assignment and management
(viewable within the XPages application)
 Teamroom can be automatically generated and managed
from the XPages application based on workflow
 OneUI for a seamless “look and feel”

Oauth Token Store
 Create a new NSF from the
WebSecurityStore.NTF on your server (or in the
zip file from earlier)
 Call it “WebSecurityStore.nsf”
 Place it in the root data directory of your server
 !Be sure that users of your XPage application
have access to the WebSecurityStore.nsf!
 YMMV but we had to do this on a server

the XPages application
Activity streams, files, etc.
 Utilize the Connections API
Anonymous must be No Access
 Still using OneUI to our advantage
