After DAOS has been enabled on a Domino server, if the virus scanner has not been configured properly to avoid .NLO files, “File is in use” errors may occur.

The virus scanner should be configured to prevent processing the. NLO files in the DAOS repository.  This can be accomplished either by specifying that the scanner skip files with an .NLO suffix, or by specifying that the DAOS base directory (and all subdirectories) should be skipped by the scans.

Instead of scanning the .NLO files directly, the attachments should be scanned via the Domino server by an application, such as an add-in program, that works through the Domino API.

Last week I had a meeting with security personnel from a client, the meeting was about the safety of Notes & Domino environment deployed in the company. For the photo below you can see that meetings with the security staff are always tense and full of questions.

Semana passada eu tive uma reunião com o pessoal de segurança de um cliente, a reunião era sobre a segurança do ambiente Domino & Notes implantado na empresa.
 Pela foto abaixo pode-se ver que reuniões com o pessoal de segurança são sempre tensas e cheias de questionamentos.

If you want iNotes working with Windows 7 you need the hotfix  304.2CHF1 available on FixCentral

An ID vault provides several layers of security.

• Protection against the use of an unauthorized vault  A user ID can be uploaded to a vault only if a parent certifier of the user ID has issued a Vault Trust Certificate to the vault. This prevents a rogue administrator from creating an unauthorized vault and uploading ID files into it.
• Protection against unauthorized downloads of IDs  ID downloads from a vault are password-protected. If ten incorrect consecutive passwords are specified during one day in an attempt to download an ID file from a vault to a client, downloads are disabled for that ID for the day. To download the ID that day, the password must be reset on it. For additional protection, administrators can require authorization for all ID downloads.
• Protection against unauthorized password resets A person requires a Password Reset Certicate issued by a parent certifier of a user ID to reset the password on the ID through the Domino Administratator. A custom password reset application, for example, one that enables users to reset their own passwords, requires a Password Reset Certificate issued to the identity under which the application runs and to each server on which it is deployed.
• Protection against unauthorized access to the vault contents The Notes ID vault server’s ID file is integral to the protection of the vault’s contents. It is extremely important to protect the vault server’s ID file from unauthorized access.
• Protection against unauthorized access to data transmitted over the network All ID vault transactions between clients and servers are encrypted.

When it comes to configuring the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS), you may be asking yourself – and us in turn – what’s the right way to set it up? For example, is there an optimum “Minimum Sizeâ€� setting? Should the repository go under the data directory or on its own drive? What’s the best “Deferred Deletion Intervalâ€� in relation to my backup and restore schedule? This guide, and the documents it references, attempts to answer these questions of individual, site-specific configuration in general terms with guidelines for adapting and modifying them based on measurements made against your particular environment.

How to Enable Windows 7 GodMode

I found this tip at www.sitepoint.com

Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s been doing the rounds on the Internet. It enables “GodMode,� a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.

To use it:
1.        Create a new folder.
2.        Rename the folder to

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

(note that you can change the “GodMode� text, but the following period and code number are essential).
3.        The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:

Já peguei o arquivo e o curso é introdutório mesmo, para iniciantes,  mas não deixa de ser bom.
