19 Productivity Enhancements - Other
Export views to CSV(Comma Separated Value) Additional export option Print s without distribution list In design spec, not currently available Set Notes as the default client Upon installation or set in User Preferences>Mail>Internet Rename a resource Maintain existing reservations

20 IBM Lotus Domino Web Access 6.5 Update

21 Mozilla Browser Support for Linux
Benefits Linux Client solution Architecture 1.3.1 Mozilla client Linux RedHat 7.2,8.0 Scaled down offline support (sync manager client does not have a UI) Same forms file as Windows providing client interoperability Features Parity with Windows versions, except for: Bidi support Drag and drop Administration and Configuration Nothing specific for Mozilla

22 Send, Sign and Verify Notes Encrypted Messages
Benefits Provide Notes public key encryption support and interoperability Architecture Notes ID attachment in the mailfile Domino Directory based Notes certified public key support on the server Public key information can be stored and retrieved from Contacts Just in time encryption will also look at Directory catalog Features Sending, signing and signature verification provides parity with the Notes Client Administration and Configuration Rename support is propagated from the server to the stored notes.idPerformance Implications Minimized because we cache the notes.id information

23 Sametime Integration Benefits
Enhance DWA with Instant Messaging capabilities Architecture Java API STLinks work with Win32 and Linux Sametime 3.1 server required Features IM awareness built into views and message forms Buddy list Administration and Configuration Requires the Sametime server to reside in the same Domino domain as the Domino Web Access server

27 Customization Benefits
Add user specific customizations for the DWA environment Features 3 new forms that get added if they get set up Add custom action buttons for any view or dialog (web agents) Add more choices for the end user’s Welcome Page Replace the Domino Web Access logo Administration and Configuration Forms are added to the iNotes6.ntf

28 Performance – GZip Compression
Benefits Bandwidth reduction and improved performance on slow networks Architecture Server responses only based on Gzip compression standard Features Compressed responses mean bandwidth reduction and improved performance on slow networks Designed for dial-up connections Administration and Configuration Turned on via server configuration Performance Implications Lose scalability Introduces more server processing per response Adds server CPU usage Could mean 70% less traffic

29 Performance – Server side caching
Benefits Overall performance improvements for any static data Anything the client needs to display that is static will be cached (i.e., forms, images) Architecture Built into the Domino HTTP server Features Cachable data must meet the following requirements Request method is a GET The command in the request is OpenDocument The response status code is 200 (OK) The target of the request is a valid Forms file and the request contains the “MaxExpires” request argument Administration and Configuration Turned on in the configuration Performance Implications Memory will be consumed Will help on scalability and performance

32 Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook 6.5.1

33 Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook
Description Lets you replace your Microsoft Exchange server with Domino server to leverage extensive messaging capabilities Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook delivers the leading messaging, calendaring and scheduling, and personal information management services of Domino to the Outlook 2000 or 2002 client. Organizations can improve the reliability and scalability of their messaging infrastructure, by upgrading from Microsoft Exchange to Domino — without needing to change clients. The Microsoft Outlook user experience is virtually unchanged with Domino Access for Outlook; users simply work with their mail, calendar and task data on Domino instead of Microsoft Exchange. Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook also gives Microsoft Outlook users the additional benefits of Domino Messaging features not available with Exchange.

34 Stage 1 - Open Internet standards
Officially released with Notes Domino 6.0.2 Higher scalability and lower resource use Local PST file Utilizes Microsoft Outlook iCAL support Domino 6 Support for Outlook 2000 and 2002 clients Support for Outlook 98 discontinued Personal Information Management functions Pocket PC, PALM OS New features DOLS – client configuration Server directory lookup Mail delegation using single profile Out-of-office agent Password management Leveraging Domino 6 Standards based IMAP & iCal solution Smart replicator for calendar and mail Free/busy time support Delegation support

35 Stage 2 architecture - Primary Deliverables
Replication mechanism between Outlook Client and Domino This is the key component of the solution enabling Domino and Outlook data to be interchanged. NOTE: We no longer use Open Standards(IMAP/ICAL) to access Domino. In we now utilize NRPC. Installation Package and Client Upgrade Install program was written using the standard Windows MSI installer. Similar to the setup that is used for the Notes client. Outlook Plug-in Initially introduced as part of the 6.02 Out of Office and change password Extended in 6.51 to provide access to Domino preferences Auto process meeting invitations Setting free/busy hours Replication settings and security
