The following Lotus Notes driver features are added to the Identity Manager driver for Lotus Notes v2.3 for Identity Manager 3.
Document enhancements that were added in the time frame, including:
Lotus Notes ACL entry Add/Modify
The ability to set and modify Lotus Notes field flags on the Subscriber channel
Updated import configuration with reworked entitlement support:
The configuration file now includes improved driver parameter formatting (in GCV style format)
Entitlement support is now 100% DirXML Script and includes improved logic.
Driver installs with the Connected System (Remote Loader) option.
New configuration option that allows the Notes Driver to install with a Notes client and the Remote Loader on a machine separate from the Domino Server.
query-ex support:
When a query-ex sequence initiates, all potential query responses are cached in memory by the NotesDriverShim using a list of UNIDs; when the appropriate query-ex command is received, the appropriate Notes fields associated with the Notes UNID are retrieved, and returned.
New driver parameter: < janitor-cleanup-interval> of type integer. Janitor cleanup checks for, and releases resources that may have been orphaned by unfinished query-ex sequences. This interval determines how often to perform this janitorial service.
Lotus Notes document locking support options:
Driver parameters driver options: <allow-document-locking> enables the NotesDriverShim to lock Notes database documents if they are being modified. This parameter is only effective using Notes 6.5 or higher and if the Notes database has the Allow document locking check box enabled.
Driver parameters subscriber options: <notes-doc-lock-fail-action> specifies the action (document return code) the Notes Driver returns to the Metadirectory engine if the Notes Driver fails to acquire a document lock.
Notes database (db) replica creation and settings options:
The Notes Driver v2.2 can apply database replication settings and replication entry settings.
The creation of a database replica can be instantiated, and give a request to perform replication. This enhancement allows the creation of a mailfile replica when a mailfile is initially created.
This enhancement also allows you to modify replication settings on an existing database being synchronized, to perform a replication request on the synchronized database, and to create a new replica on an accessible Domino server.
Additional DN format options are now available on the Publisher channel:
NOTES_TYPED (default): CN=JoeUser/OU=Sales/O=ACME
NOTES: JoeUser/Sales/ACME
SLASH_TYPED: \O=ACME\OU=Sales\CN=JoeUser
SLASH: \ACME\Sales\JoeUser
LDAP_TYPED: CN=JoeUser,OU=Sales,O=ACME
LDAP: JoeUser,Sales,ACME
DOT_TYPED: CN=JoeUser.OU=Sales.O=ACME
DOT- JoeUser.Sales.ACME
Support for a more secure HTTPPassword format:
Domino 6 provided a more secure password hashing algorithm to be used with the HTTPPassword attribute that is stored on person documents (records) in the Notes Address Book. This latest version of the driver now appropriately uses this more secure HTTPPassword hashing format.
Domino 7 support:
Although no special Domino 7 APIs have been utilized, Domino 7 is a tested and supported platform.
Improved return status document support:
The NotesDriverShim can now return XML output status documents showing the driver’s extra tasks, such as creating a user mailfile. This means that an add command can now return multiple status documents.
Status is now returned for:
Creating/updating an ACL entry
Creating a mailfile
Creating database replica
Issuing a database replication request
Updating database replication settings
