Domino 8.5.2 changed the Directory Assistance (DA) template name and added new features


Tags :



We often see how templates and databases keep the same name forever.  Such examples are events4.nsf and admin4.nsf.  Previously, Lotus changed a database name from Schema5.nsf to schema.nsf for the LDAP build.  It is rare, never before to my immediate thought, to do a change in a point release.

For Domino 8.5.2 , Lotus has changed the template name of Directory Assistance from da50.ntf to the new da.ntf with some additional features.

Changes on the Basics tab (new fields)
  • Windows single sign-on for web clients
  • Kerberos realm

Changes on the LDAP tab (new fields)
  • There is a new Connection Configuration section containing the already existing fields "Channel encryption" through "Verify server name with remote server's  certificate."
  • LDAP vendor
  • enable name mapping

There are some more changes that can be found documented.
