A phishing attacker sends an email with a link purporting to be to your website. It begins with your domain name, but employs the &redirectto argument to actually steer the user to their site if they click the link.This feature is used legitimately to create authentication pages that on logout, redirect the user to another page onsite that doesn't require authentication. But for some high-security sites, the functionality may be problematic.
We are not giving a specific example here on the theory that one should avoid giving instructions on how to attack server security...

A new version of the "LotusScript Gold Collection" toolkit is available on openntf.org. It includes the much requested NotesGroupManager library which used to be in the Lotus Sandbox, and a way to call Notes C API functions without having to check which OS you're using before each call. The latter might not work on all servers, but the problem has been reported to the LotusScript team in development. It works great on all clients (and you could easily make a server version, it's just not as efficient as you must load the classes for all supported OS instead of using dynamic loading)...

While chasing a Citrix/Lotus Notes issue today, I needed to read values from the Windows Registry that user Citrix sessions see (which are prohibited from running RegEdit), so wrote the following button - Hope it is useful for you in the future.

The button will allow you to read a value from the Windows Registry by specifying the Registry Key, Sub-Key and Value to retrieve (these are defaulted to show where the Internet Explorer 'Favorites' folder is set to). e.g. if you want to read the registry that a Citrix session sees, run Lotus Notes under Citrix and then access/click the button from say a draft memo in your mail file...

This from one of our my UK customers: Notes R8.5.x will crash when forwarding an HTML format e-mail that refers to images on remote web servers, IF your Notes client's proxy settings are enforced by a policy AAAAND the list of proxy exceptions on the Desktop Settings policy document in the Domino Directory uses semi-colons to separate the hosts (like Internet Explorer does): The proxy exception list must be separated with commas.
So, in summary, use commas (,) rather than semi-colons (;) to separate hosts in the Lotus Domino proxy exception list. Will see if I can find an IBM Technote and update this...

When automatically generating an adminp request that applies to a specific database, there's an item in the request that you may find hard to create. If you create adminp requests manually and then examine the items in them, you can see for instance that you might have the item ProxyReplicaID with a date/time value. Doesn't look like you would expect a replica ID to look. How do you convert the value of (say) NotesDatabase.ReplicaID, a string, to the TIMEDATE value that gets stored in the note? All the bits are used, so there's a 100ths of a second value that you can't see, but it's in there. Likewise, the timezone is stored in there and has to be preserved...

I asked my team to compile a list of the xSPs who provide Domino hosting services globally. Because of the highly distributed nature of IBM's channel relationships, this turned out to be harder to do than I had hoped. Never mind the complexity, though, we have technology and humans who can solve the challenge. We put up a wiki page on the Notes/Domino wiki to compile a list of all the Domino hosting providers. At V1, it only has US, Japan, Sweden, and Canadian entries (and clearly not all of the hosting providers in each of those countries). This is the first time I've actually edited one of our wikis and it took me like ten seconds, so it should be easy to build this into a robust list in a matter of hours. Can you help all of us by filling in others? Thanks!

I've been needing to use LS2J recently so that I could code DNS lookups and web page requests as part of a testing system I'm working on for LotusLive. The documentation is a little vague on how you work with methods in a Java class from LotusScript, so since I had to experiment to find out how it worked, I figured it would be nice to record the information here. In most cases, you're writing the Java classes you're calling via LS2J, so you get to decide whether there are static members. But maybe you got the class from elsewhere and you don't want to have to modify it, or maybe you're just using a built-in class that you don't get to change. So it may occasionally be helpful to know how to use the static members. So here goes...

This technique isn't applicable in all situations, but it's a way to make a date or time-based view whose index is only rebuilt when needed, and doesn't require that the date be hardcoded into a design element. The example is intended for use in the Notes mail file, where there's only one user who we're mainly concerned about. It could be used in a shared app context, but in that case it should be set up to use the server's time settings, not the client's as in this example, since different users would be plugging in different formulas and causing constant rebuilds based on their client's settings as opposed to someone else's...

From a question in one of the BOFs here, I've learned that the documentation of the LotusScript NotesNoteCollection method (NotesCollection in the Java API) contains a significant error. The help for the BuildCollection method says, "You must build the collection before it is usable." This is wrong. The documentation writers were only imagining one use for the collection - to search for notes. But there's another use for a NotesNoteCollection -- as a generic container for notes that you find by some other means, and add to the collection with the Add method. If this is how you're using the object, there's no need to call BuildCollection. This is a significant difference, because BuildCollection takes time to execute even if you haven't specified any search criteria. Speed things up by deleting the call.

From a service issue I've been working with one of our customers, I've discovered that there's a problem importing DXL containing large blocks of base64 data -- more than 4MB -- which would include any file attachments > 3MB, for instance. You would get this error message in the importer log: "Base64 byte stream contains invalid data or is too large to store in a single note item." (Of course, you can also get this error if your data really is invalid.)
This might happen in about 2% of cases involving large attachments or other large base64 blocks, and is essentially random (but consistent for a given input DXL).

In classic Lotus Domino Web development (without XPages) using non-7 bit-ASCII characters in field names can lead into problems, because Domino encodes such names into cryptic strings inside the HTML page. In some cases, i.e. for client side validation of fields using JavaScript in the browser, it is nearly impossible to get the original fields name off the encoded one. The easiest way would be to pre-calculate the encoded names in the Domino back-end and generate the needed JavaScript code before the HTML is send to the browser. But there are two problems...

This is an article about reviewing your Notes/Domino applications to see whether they will break when you upgrade to 8.5 or later. It's a very short article because I didn't find that much that needed to be done. Thanks to those who responded to my earlier thread asking for known issues; if I missed anything important, please comment here or on the wiki (or make the necessary changes yourself; that's why it's a wiki). This isn't about adding XPage functionality to your apps, by the way; just doing the minimum to make sure they're still functional in the new version.

Version 1.2 of the "LotusScript Gold Collection" is out. This includes a tool to read and manipulate inline images in a Notes document or form, and a nice (well-tested) class for maintaining a linked list of any type of object. The latter is the first of several standard data structure classes I intend to put in there, and I started with it because I needed it for the other thing.
I've been putting lots of cool stuff in this library, and I now welcome Francesco Marzolo as a new "cook" who wants to build on some of my earlier work to create a tool for synchronizing keyed records. The more the merrier, is what I say!
Incidentally, I saw someone had been looking to download a tool I posted in here for letting a user rearrange a list, which seems to have gone missing. I added this, too, to the LS Gold Collection. ..

And what I'm saying here in part applies specifically to LotusScript, but in part to any language that does reference counting.
LotusScript memory management is not perfect, and I've encountered situations where it gets hung up when deallocating memory, particularly when there are object references that go across script libraries (a class in Library A contains a reference to an object whose class is declared in Library B). The more you deallocate objects yourself with a Delete statement, the better your chances of not having a problem...

How do you send a design element, like a form, from one Domino database to another? One way to do this is to simply cut and paste the design elements. This works well when both databases are accessible to you. Suppose you want to mail a design element to another developer? You could mail the entire database, but, then you might be sending more than you wanted. Another way is to cut and paste the design elements into a new blank database. This tip will present a better way to export and then import design elements using DXL. DXL is a way to express a Domino object (document or design) in an XML file format. This tip will use DXL to export one or more Domino design elements (any type) and then import them into another Domino database...

One little annoyance I've had is the need during testing to see and change the values of lines in my notes.ini file while the client is running. I either had to shut down the client, edit the notes.ini, and then restart Notes, or else write a special LotusScript control -- maybe a button in the body of a draft Memo -- to assign the value. (The ENVIRONMENT statement or @Environment in macro language can set an ini variable, but not a 'system' one). Add to this the difficulty of remembering the names of all the relevant ini variables, because if they don't already have a value, they're probably not in the file at all, so you can't search for the line to change it. To make this work more smoothly, I wrote a LotusScript agent in my bookmark.nsf file...

We have started implementing AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) in a number of applications at my company. Most of what we have done has been using agents to bring back HTML to change a Web page using the .innerHTML property. But I was thinking that I could just as easily bring back the same information I can get in an @DBLookup. The approach I took is very specialized, but can be expanded to pull back any information you would ever want...

How to retrieve POP mail from a non-Domino server: Contributing Editor Nancy Hand is back with another story from the support trenches. This time,she's retrieving POP mail from a non-Domino server.
Deleting corrupt icons may save your Notes database: A few weeks ago, in "Before you reinstall the Notes client, try this", we discussed some ways to clear up problems dealing with mail files.
