Yesterday i was installing a TSM Server for our company. The db2 installer complain about the /tmp size.

The installer need 2,5GB and my /tmp has only 2 GB.

I create a “disk” using dd command with 4GB on a partition with lots of space.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/tmpDSK bs=1024k count=4096
mkfs -t ext3 /usr/tmpDSK
file /usr/tmpDSK
umount /tmp

mount -o loop,exec,nosuid,rw /usr/tmpDSK /tmp

After the db2 installation i umount the /tmp and mount it back using fstab -a

Some administration features that are available in an on-premises Lotus Domino environment are unavailable, are implemented differently, or have limitations within the SmartCloud Notes service.

It is very important to know this differences.

Today i can’t open the TDI Configuration Editon on one of my servers.

One dialog box appears with the error ” Review the .metadata\.log for details.”

To solve the problem:

Go to the <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/ directory.

If there is a .snap file, then delete or move to different location.

Setup SSO with Windows Desktop is not so hard. But when things is not well documented you can get a big headake.  A customer ask to implement this SSO. The environment was a WebSphere Portal V.8.0 cluster and the user repository was AD 2012.

I setup the system following several documents from IBM and other blogs.  The SSO just not work.

Searching a log for one  solution i found the following:

DES Encryption and Kerberos Authentication:
Starting with Windows Server 2008 R2, domain controllers (and domain members) will no longer allow DES encryption for Kerberos tickets. DES encryption was cracked last millennium, so it’s time to move on to better encryption mechanisms like AES.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/06/03/upgrade-active-directory-to-windows-server-2012-phase-1-assessment.aspx

The solution was simple:

Before AD 2008  the keytab generation was:

ktpass –out appserver1.keytab –princ HTTP/[email protected] –mapuser wastest –pass password -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

For AD 2012 the keytab command line must include the encryption type other than DES and one supported by WebSphere V8.0.x.

I use the following:

ktpass –out appserver1.keytab –princ HTTP/[email protected] –mapuser wastest –pass password -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT

The RC4-HMAC-NT did the trick.

This document show the step by step i follow.

Today i found a solution for a customer migrating from Exchange to Domino/SmartCloud. He want to add signature using html on iNotes

You can use HTML within a iNotes signature by encapsulating all HTML tags within brackets [ ] to mark the text as pass-thru HTML.

If you use an image, the file must exist on a Web server that the iNotes client can access. For example, you can store the image within the domino/html directory of the Domino server and reference the image using the Web address such as http:// /

What follows is an example of HTML code to display a signature with a corporate logo:
[ <html><b>John Doe</b><br><i>Example Corp, Inc.<br>[email protected]</i><img src=”http://inotes_server.com/examplelogo.jpg”></img></html> ]

(Please note: There should be no spaces after the open bracket “[” or before the close bracket “]”. Spaces have been intentionally added to the above block of text in order to allow it to display correctly on the web, instead of being treated as pass-thru html.)

I add the html code using the field Simple Text and mark the Include signature…. as a simple text.

The information above is from this IBM TechNote
