I have been searching for an easy-to-use solution to run HCL Notes/Admin/Designer on Linux for years. I am used to Parallels Desktop on the Mac and in search of something similar on Linux I seem to have found a solution using the OSS WinBoat

HCL Nomad Web SAML Authentication with Keycloak - Part 3: Nomad Web ID Vault Configuration  

By Heiko Voigt | 11/2/23, 3:08 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

In Part 2, we did the Keycloak Setup and created a realm, an identity provider (Domino LDAP), the Domino Service Provider information on Domino and exported the Service Provider XML, we did a set up for the nomad-config.yml on Domino and created the Service Provider on Keycloak by importing the Domino Service Provider XML and modifying it as needed. We then started Nomad and made sure, all switches fall into place. Now, the only "Annoyance" in this process is the prompt of the Password of the Notes ID when we set up Nomad Web. Let's eliminate this as well as follows:

SAML SSO and Keycloak with HCL Nomad Web - Part 2: HCL Nomad Web Authentication  

By Heiko Voigt | 10/31/23, 8:18 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

Wow - it's been REALLY long since I started my first post about SAML SSO with Keycloak and Domino. Today, we are going to take a look at Nomad Web on Domino (no Safelinks) and how we can make use of SAML to authenticate against the HCL Nomad Web Server and (in Part 3 of this series), the ID Vault to be able to unlock the Notes ID without a second password prompt.

So it took a little bit longer to get this 2nd part of the series - I ran into some issues during the configuration, also, we decided to upgrade our Keycloak implementation to the latest version 20.x and experienced some setbacks when re-importing the configuration from version 18.x - we lost a couple of settings and it took a while to find the differences and patch them up.

This is part one of my series on how to utilize Keycloak as the SAML IDP for HCL Nomad Web for Domino. While HCL describes the use of ADFS in the online documemtation, Keycloak can serve for this purpose with ease as well. Within this series I want to describe the components and configurations that are necessary to make the two work together.

HCL Nomad Web 1.0.5 Beta is available - and it's great!  

By Heiko Voigt | 7/20/22, 10:31 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

So this is truly a game changer - now easier than ever - your HCL Notes Client in the browser. HCL Nomad Web has been around for a while now but setup has always been a bit cumbersome so many people shied away from it. Now, with Version 1.0.5, things have changed dramatically and HCL Core Dev did a great job with this release.

Quick Tip: Make IAM play nice with Directory Assistance  

By Heiko Voigt | 1/28/22, 4:15 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro

We came across the need to have users in a 2nd Domino Directory for a Single Page Application. These are external users, who register themselves and authenticate against IAM to access the application on the web.

Quick Notes: Installation of AppDevPack and IAM on Windows  

By Heiko Voigt | 5/26/20, 11:07 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

For a test environment, I had to wade through the AppDevPack/IAM Installation once more, this time on Windows. While most of the stuff I found was working fairly straightforward, I came across to things that caught my eye, so I thought I should write it down somewhere in case someone else stumbles upon it.

Wow, finally ! With some great help from HCL (thanks to the HCL Client Advocacy Program and Gordon Hegfield in person ! ) I was able to master the setup of the OAUTH2 provider for Domino ! So, how is my environment set up ?

DominoDB and a big NO-NO !  

By Heiko Voigt | 11/14/18, 4:26 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

So folks, the beta of DominoDB is out and people are starting to use it. One of my early-adopting customers started to play around with it and started to create a React.-based application using DominoDb to modify database content. They secured their Proton task using the SSL encryption. So far so good. What I did not expect was the flaw in the architecture of the app that I came across when I looked at the source

Notes - Save conflicts with Document Locking and ws.EditDocument  

By Heiko Voigt | 1/29/18, 12:05 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by John Oldenburger

In the document, I changed some fields and used an action button to save the changes, close the uidocument, append some richtext via LotusScript to a richtext field an re-open the document using ws.editDocument(True,doc,,,False) in Edit mode again.
