DAOS problems after update to Domino 12.0.1 IF1 with reproducible server crash  

By Detlev Poettgen | 2/15/22, 2:44 PM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Preliminary: Based on the experience below, when using DAOS on Domino Server 12.0.1 IF1, I cannot currently recommend and would wait until this is resolved before updating to Domino 12.0.1. We have a support case open with HCL on this and hope this can be resolved quickly. Update: HCL already looked into it and offered us via the Case a new hotfix (HF24). So if you already run into the same issue, you should open a Support Case and request the hotfix, too.

Prohibit Outlook for iOS and Android to use Traveler  

By Detlev Poettgen | 2/1/15, 8:17 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Oliver Busse

Microsoft released last week an Outlook app for iOS and Android. The App itself is beautiful and we can see some good ideas IBM will ship with IBM Verse. But from the enterprise security perspective the Microsoft Outlook app is a total nightmare. Microsoft is storing the user credentials on their own servers and is caching all transferred Mails on their servers. A Microsoft server reads, caches and monitors your mail file and transfers the data to the device. I think this is a no go! Details can be found here: Warning – Microsofts Outlook App for iOS breaks your company security.
