No Information About Free Time

No Information About Free Time When planning a meeting, some users do not see any information about free time of some of the invited persons. When you right click on the planner, you can open the calender. When you click left, a “You are not authorized … ” error message occurs in the client’s statusbar.
Access to free time information is set company wide by policy to be visible to all people.

I found out that in all cases where this issue occurs, the “AllowList” field in the persons entry in clubusy.nsf was not empty, although it should be empty

Field Allow List

It seems that the field value is not properly deleted or updated when either the adminp tries to install the new mail policy or the user edited the calendar profile document.
When you delete the entries from the field, information about free time is provided.
So far, so good. After the server has updated the clubusy.nsf the error occurs again.
Then I looked closer at the calendar profile and found an entry in the “AllowBusyAccess” field.

AllowBusyAccess

Deleting the entry in this field and running a “tell sched validate username” after deleting the user document in the clubusy.nsf finally solved the problem.

Update: Now SPR “MFUN77EK4R”


Document Conflict Resolver

Andre Guirard published an end-user tool that includes a toolbar button you can click while you have a replication conflict document open or highlighted (or the main document), and it will open the replication conflict and main document side by side to compare them visually. There’s also a list of the field differences and a marked-up version of any rich text showing what has changed.

Bundestrojaner – Sehr geehrter Herr Schäuble

BundestrojanerMit grossem Interesse verfolge ich die momentanen Aktionen der Bundesregierung zur Bekämpfung des (inter)nationalen Terrorismus.

Da auch ich die Aktionen der Terroristen nicht gut finde, biete ich an, Ihnen bei der Bekämpfung der Bösewichte behilflich zu sein.

Ich habe daher auf meinem Rechner vorsorglich schon einmal ein Verzeichnis angelegt ( c:\BundesTrojaner ). Hier können Sie bei Bedarf die von Ihnen entwickelte Software installieren. Gleichzeitig habe ich auf meiner Firewall den Port 66666 geöffnet. Dann muss Ihr Techniker nicht so lange suchen **smilie**, **smilie**

Bitte sehen Sie davon ab, den Trojaner in einem anderen Verzeichnis zu installieren, da sich auf dem Rechner auch persönliche Daten befinden und ich nicht möchte, daÃ? Sie oder Ihre Gehilfen diese lesen. Es wäre Ihnen doch auch peinlich, wenn Sie Bilder von Ihrer Frau im Internet finden würden, die im privaten Umfeld aufgenommen wurden, oder ?

Viel Erfolg bei Ihrer Aktion. Und danke, daÃ? Sie durch Presse, Funk und Fernsehen die Nation von Ihrer Vorgehensweise in Kenntnis gesetzt haben. Das stärkt das Vertrauen in unsere Behörden und die Politiker ungemein. …


ND8 – Using SMTP Outbound Authentication To Relay Hosts

One of the new features in the brand new release 8 of IBM’s Lotus Notes an Domino is the SMTP outbound authentication (SMTP AUTH) to relay hosts. Most of the ISPs only allow authenticated users / server to relay mail thru their server.
To setup this new feature follow these simple steps:

  • 1. Make sure you already have a Configuration Settings document for the server(s) to be configured.
  • 2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and expand the Messaging section.
  • 3. Click Configurations.
  • 4. Select the Configuration Settings document for the mail server or servers you want to administer, and click Edit Configuration.
  • 5. Click the Router/SMTP – Basics tab.
  • 6. In the field “Use authentication when sending messages to the relay host,” choose one of these:
    • Required – Checks whether the server can authenticate. If the server cannot authenticate, no attempt is made to try a non-authenticated session.
    • Enabled – Checks whether the server can authenticate. If the server cannot authenticate, an attempt is made to try a non-authenticated session.
    • Disabled – The SMTP Authentication feature is disabled. Authentication is not attempted.
  • 7. Specify the SMTP account name in the Name field, and the SMTP password in the Password field.
  • 8. Type the host name into the field “Relay host for messages leaving the local internet domain”.
  • 9.Click Save and Close.

I’ve only tested with freenet.de. maybe there are problems with other ISPs as in the past with 1&1.

SMTP Outbout Authentication

I would like to say thank you to Ramon Bisswanger who invented and developed the SMTP AUTH tool. I’ve used his great tool to send mail via my Domino server without any problems for the past 3 years.


Access Field Names Preceded By ‘$’ With LS

You have LotusScript code that runs against a particular document. The document contains several fields that have names preceded by a $ symbol. When you attempt to reference these fields in the code via extended-class syntax, an error occurs. Is it possible to access these fields in LotusScript using extended-class syntax?

To access these fields in LotusScript using extended-class syntax, you must insert a tilde character (~) immediately before the $ sign.

For example, while the following line generates an error:

variablename = doc.$AdditionalHeaders(0)

The modified line runs as intended:

variablename = doc.~$AdditionalHeaders(0)
