After Domino 11.0.1 FP3 - Kyrtool not starting - error 0x110

 I just recently tried to create a new Keyring from my Domino and received an error message...

 

 After asking the HCL support for details on the issue they told me with FP3 a new security feature was released. KB0090343 explains this new behaviour and its implication:

Subsequent Domino processes (e.g. nfixup.exe & kyrtool.exe) can not be run using another Windows account as the first Domino process. This means if you start kyrtool from command line as user "Administrator" & Domino starts as "SYSTEM" you will have to apply the workaround & add "Administrator" to the SMAclAccess.ini file.

HCL Connections MS Desktop Plugin - uploading files < 100mb with enabled IHS upload module

If you have configured file uploads through IBM HTTP server for your Connections envoirnment and the set the limit for simpleUploadAPI <100mb you will need to adjust the registry of your client: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IBM\Social Connectors\Settings - "LargeFileSize" must match the value that is set for "simpleUploadAPI" inside files-config.xml. But: by default only a value down to 25MB is allowed.

If you envoirnment requires IHS handling attachments < 25 mb you will need to ask for a customized MSDesktop Plugin @HCL. They will enable the plugin to be configured for smaller sizes.

CS0227039 for any case reference

TDI load_photos_from_ldap.bat is not importing photos from Domino LDAP

It had been a while(several years) since I was last asked to import profile pictures from a Domino NAB into Connections . The process & technology has not been changed since years and I felt pretty confident to deliver a solution very soon to my customer. But this was a BIG deception which started a long journey....

For testing purposes I imported a binary image into a custom LDAP field into my Domino NAB.
*This was mandatory in the past: RichtTextField with images are not binary images for LDAP clients and you needed a third party tool like "ldapadmin" to import images correctly. Since Domino V11 the NAB already contains a very handy binary-photo-field for this:


Taking a look into to the documentation the chapter only covers 2 steps:

1. Open profiles_tdi.properties, locate the load_photos_from_ldap_attr_name property, and set it to the name of the LDAP binary attribute that contains the photo.
2. Run the load_photos_from_ldap command...

As you may have already guessed: This did not work. It will just iterate over all profiles and do nothing.

So I create a case and HCL came to the conclusion that you manually need to populate a return list of the TDI process ("ldapReturnAttributes"). The workaround is described in KB0092095
