    Quick Guide to Lotus Domino-NotesWhat is it, and why should I use it over open-source solutions like

    Apache?

    Note(no pun intended): Although Lotus' marketing literature doesn't always stick to this view

    of things, Domino is now supposed to mean the server, while Notes is the client side Domino

    is availa!le for N", A#$%&&, and dierent nices (#olaris, *+-, A.-, Linu/), while Notes is onlyavaila!le for 0indows, although it is said to run 12 on Linu/ under the 0ine emulator

    .31, Domino$Notes is the greatest, al!eit proprietary, groupware solution currently availa!le

    4esides e+mail 5 to+do, personal$group calendars, and personal$group address !ooks, it lets

    you !uild shared knowledge data!ases, and generally improve team+work through work6ow

    *ersonnaly, . wouldn't use it for e+mail, especially since Notes can work against a ni/+!ased e+

    mail system pretty well, although that means losing some of the groupware features . 7ust

    don't trust proprietary software for critical applications like e+mail

    "he main reason you should give Domino$Notes a try if you need to oer such features, is that

    the 0e!+!ased tools are 7ust too complicated to use !y non+technical people (editing with

    "3L editors, uploading updated "3L 8les to your we! server, synchroni9ing laptops, etc),

    and do not support replications as easily as Domino$Notes

    As for proprietary solutions, 3# /change only runs on N" and doesn't support knowledge

    data!ases as well as Domino, and Novell's ;roupwise re

    What are ID (les?

    @ou must generate a user .D 8le for each user in the 1rgani9ation .n the process, the .D 8le is

    certi8ed, and contains the following information:

    certi8cate owner's name and details

    certi8cate owner's pu!lic key

    certi8er's name and details

    certi8er's pu!lic key

    certi8cate e/piration date

    certi8er's stamp, ie it is signed with the certi8er's private key

    the user's pu!lic and private keys, in two versions (1ne, MIJ+!it key length pair, is

    used for data encryption in non+North American countries Another, K&+!it key length

    pair, is used for data encryption within # and anada, and for signature and

    authentication worldwide)

    the user's name and Notes license num!er

    1nce the .D 8le is generated, a copy is availa!le as an independent .D 8le as well as an entry

    in the *u!lic Name B Address 4ook for other users to use

    two pairs of pu!lic$private keys (the user's and the certi8er'sH 1ne set of key for use in

    North America, and the other for use overseas),

    two certi8cates (to match the two encryption strengthsH a certi8cate is the digital

    signature of the organi9ation to which he !elongs),

    a certi8cate for each unit to which the user !elong (eg for Gohn Doe$3arketing$Acme,

    his .D contains the cert8cate of $3arketing$Acme and $Acme),

    user names (the user's and the certi8er's) and details (including license type and serial

    other words, changing the password to an .D 8le makes no change to the server .f a copy is
