News4Notes | Disabling Domino redirectto URL argument | by IBM Lotus Support

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:16:41 -0700

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...

News4Notes | LotusScript Gold Collection 1.3 | by Andre Guirard

Wed, 2 Nov 2011 23:04:49 -0700

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)...

News4Notes | Button to query the Windows Registry (useful for Citrix etc.) | by James W. Stuart

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:52:06 -0700

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. Create a Form, Memo etc. and add a new button, then paste in the code below. 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...
