SAML

Provides ease of use for end users – reduce the # of passwords to memorize

Allows for more complete SSO coverage across a variety of services, applications, and platforms.

Support for Notes, iNotes, and web clients─ Notes Federated Login─ Web Federated Login

SAML 2.0 is recommended, but SAML 1.1 is also supported.

Identity Providers supported─ IBM Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager® (TFIM)─ Microsoft's® ADFS 2.0 integrated with Active Directory®


Notes Federated Login with SAML1) After launch, Notes connects to ID Vault to get IdP information. ID Vault (configured for SAML authentication) sends client IdP information.

2) Client connects to IdP, authenticates the user via username/password or Kerberos credentials. Once authenticated the client receives a SAML token.

3) Client sends SAML token to ID Vault.

4) ID Vault validates the token with the IdP.

5) ID Vault sends the id to the client.

● Once Notes session is completed, no ID remains. No ID ever stored on disk

● Yes, this will work on Citrix.

Note: Information is subject to change without notice at IBM’s discretion

Ease of use with cloud based services

Managed via Domino policies


DBMT → DataBase Management Tool

Domino 9.0 Social Edition introduces a new task called DBMT that streamlines DB maintenance

Automatically Bounded by time─ Given a defined daily/weekly Maintenance Window, DBMT will achieve as much as it can, saving

the remaining tasks for the next maintenance window What it does?

─ runs copy-style compact operations─ purges deletion stubs─ expires soft deleted entries─ updates views─ reorganizes folders─ merges full-text indexes─ updates unread lists─ ensures that critical views are created for failover


Serviceability

NSD Monitor for Unix NSD Memory Summary for Unix QoS – Quality of Service Probe

─ Detects if server is not responding or hung─ Optionally email an administrator and/or automatically terminate the server and restart it.


Transport Layer Security Successor to Secure Sockets Layer

─ An upgrade to SSL 3.0

Web Server activity protected by TLS

─ XPages─ Traveler─ iNotes─ ST─ REST APIs─ Quickr

Windows only in 9.0 IBM HTTP Server will act as “front end” for Domino HTTP server Requirement for many Governments, Agencies, and Contractors

Install Choice


SHA – 2 Support

Secure Hash Algorithm 2 designed by the National Security Agency Covered under (FIPS) 140-2 Requirement for many Governments, Agencies, and Contractors As of 9.0 Social Edition SHA-2 is used for X.509 certificate signature verification

and S/MIME signed mail, and TLS (IBM HTTP) for authentication No Configuration needed, just works out of the box provided you have a SHA-2

certificate


OAuth Open Standard for Authorization Domino 9.0 Social Edition adds support for OAuth Client Basis for Embedded Experiences feature in Notes/iNotes Mail

─ Embedded Experiences: allow you to access business critical actions from other applications without leaving your email. This brings collaboration in-context and results in tighter integration across iNotes, Connections, Notes, app dev (XPages), and 3rd-party products and services

“Credential store” in Domino stores OAuth tokens/keys for access to applications


Authenticate


Local Mail Delivery Failover

New Domino 9.0 Social Edition feature that allows Local Delivery Failover if the destination mail file is unavailable

─ Database is Offline for maintenance or has been deleted─ MailFileEnableDeliveryFailover=1 will route mail to replica server with replica

More Granular than cluster failover as this is on database level during mail delivery


Domino as a Pure Application Intent is to provide Domino patterns that will run on Pure Systems

Streamline the ability to provision new servers into the environment─ Accepts minimal information to get up and running

Customer will be able to build on existing patterns─ Custom patterns for specific use cases, such as web applications or mail servers

Patterns we are looking at─ Adding a new Domino server in an existing domain─ Adding a new Domino server into a new domain

Agenda

What's new in Domino 9.0 Social Edition What's new for Application Development in 9.0 Social Edition


9.0 Social Edition Application Development Themes

Improve developer productivity─ Integrate XPages Extension Library into platform runtime and Designer─ Improve Domino Designer “Welcome” and “Home Page” experiences─ Improve debugging experience!!─ Quality

Application modernization─ Integrate XPages Extension Library into platform runtime and Designer─ Mobile web applications─ Extend Notes/Domino applications into social containers─ XPages in Notes client (XPiNC) performance enhancements

Bolster partner ecosystem─ Provide REST APIs for integration─ Provide Calendaring & Scheduling APIs─ XWork Server licensing changes


Home Page and Welcome Experience

Updated look and feel to align with the new “Discover” page Simplified - removed Welcome page and consolidated content onto Home page Updated content with intros and help links to major help topics Quick Links tab provides a list of working sets (shows more than 5 working sets

at a time!), task links, links to resources, and tips Home remains closed on restart if manually closed before shutdown


Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript Debugger

We heard you!!!! New “Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript” Debug Configuration

● Debugging is only supported on Domino Social Edition servers and later

● Debugger is based on Eclipse “Remote Java Connection” protocol and uses JPDA/JDI


Domino Designer Server Side JavaScript Debugger

Debugger can be invoked from a new toolbar item

Breakpoints can be set directly within XPages' SSJS or within SSJS Script Library

New 'breakpoint' keyword has been added to the SSJS syntax to allow for permanent breakpoints

─ Breakpoints are only enabled when the server is running in debug mode Sever must be configured to run in 'debug mode' in order for debugger to work

─ Note this implies that a port must be opened on the server, so it is not recommended to debug servers that have unprotected access to the internet!

– JavaEnableDebug=1– JavascriptEnableDebug=1– JavaDebugOptions=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000


Improve XPages Developer Productivity

Content assist in xsp source editor editor!! (also works with SSJS in xsp source editor)

Hyperlink navigation withinthe xsp source editor

Hover help within the xsp source editor

Palette State Saving Jar design element Navigator now

shows all working sets!! :-)


Bug Fixes to Critical Issues

Bug fixes for:─ Error 500 when using Java Design Element (also fixed in 853 FP1)─ Source control issues encountered when importing databases with

many script libraries (also fixed in 853 FP2)─ Fixes to tooling issues reported against Upgrade Pack 1

Fixes to the LotusScript Editor and builder─ Problems view reports correct line numbers for LotusScript errors!─ Improve search navigation

Performance/memory improvements in the XPages editor

IMPORTANT! - Increase Designer JVM settings─ Resolves Domino Designer 8.5.x and 9 stability issues─ See technote 1617708: Designer Performance Technote─ http://tinyurl.com/DesignerJVMSettings


Some Core XPages Enhancements

Added 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 to Domino, XWork, Designer and Notes

─ XPages Extension Library from UP1 now delivered with base platform!– Over 100 new XPages' tags/controls for Dojo, REST, application layout and more– New mobile controls

─ Domino data service (REST APIs)─ Teamroom and Discussion application templates

Upgrade core dependencies─ Dojo 1.8.1 offers enhanced mobile support and bug fixes─ CKEditor 3.6.6

– Fixed a number of bugs regarding multiple instances on an XPage, image resizing, attachment handling

– Added support for spell checker– Improved behavior on iOS (note: CKEditor is not supported on iOS)

─ Active Content Filter upgraded to 2.5.0.11


Redirect Control

Use cases:─ Traveller or iNotes rewrites the Notes doclink to a web link─ Custom redirect handling required within an application

How:─ Set form display property to a target XPage that

includes a Redirect control instance Result:

─ The Redirect control instance will transform the request URL accordingly based on the set of redirect rules

Example:─ For a mobile redirect rule: ─ http://foo/bar.nsf/0e5e7/04aae/?OpenDocument

– becomes...─ http://foo/bar.nsf/mobile.xsp?documentId=04AAE&action=openDocument#document


XPages in Notes Client (XpiNC) Enhancements

Performance enhancements─ Single Copy XPage Design feature

– Design Only copy of your XPiNC app locally deployed and preloaded– Java classes (*.class) and resources (*.css, *.js *.image etc) are cached– VERY efficient for many instances of a single application run using XpiNC

─ Single Copy Design with computeWithForm enhancements– computeWithForm can be very expensive when running remote applications– Computed form plus all its children must be downloaded and executed within the client– Large forms + High Latency Networks == Poor XPiNC performance– With local S.C.D computeWithForm loads design elements from local NSF

─ New “Run on Server” option allows remote applications to run directly on the Domino server– Mitigates situation where many XPiNC network transactions degrade performance– Uses Notes Account framework to avoid re-authentication– Can be set using an application wide setting; enabled by end user; set via policy

Extensible client side JavaScript model─ Provides secure access to Notes front end functionality via: NotesUIWorkspace classes,

Eclipse API classes or custom Java code


XPiNC Performance Improvements

computeWithForm example:─ Run a Java Agent in a Local application and then on the same application on a server

Database app = session.getCurrentDatabase(); // Database app = session.getDatabase("myServer", “remoteReplica");Document doc = app.createDocument();doc.replaceItemValue("Form", "frmTask");doc.replaceItemValue("Subject", "computeWithForm operation)");doc.replaceItemValue("Body", "Text ... ...");

// log time before computeWithForm operationlong startTs = System.currentTimeMillis(); if (doc.computeWithForm(false, false)) {

// log time after computeWithForm operationlong endTs = System.currentTimeMillis();

System.out.println(Long.toString(endTs-startTs) + " millisecs (local)"); doc.save(true, true); System.out.println("document saved"); }

Backup Slides


Debugging Server Side JavaScript!


Client-Side JavaScript/Dojo Debug Option

New debug options─ Use case:

– Dojo Library deployed in an OSGi bundle on the server– Developer needs to debug uncompressed version of the source files

• e.g. xspClientDojo.js vs xspClientDojo.js.uncompressed.js

─ How:– Set the “Use uncompressed resources” option in

XSP Properties editor

─ Result:– The XPages runtime will server *.uncompressed.js & *.uncompressed.css if available (from

within the OSGi bundle)


Server-Side Debug Options

Java Source code is included for all plug-ins in Social edition that originate in 8.5.3 UP1

Development Environment setup:─ VERY SIMILAR TO SSJS DEBUG SETUP!! :-)─ Server must be started in debug mode (again be aware of open server port!)

– JavaEnableDebug=1– JavaDebugOptions=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000

─ Install Domino Debug Plugin into Domino Designer– http://tinyurl.com/XPagesDominoDebugPlugin

─ Import Java source plug-ins into Domino Designer– http://tinyurl.com/XPagesDesignerInstallSource (refer to step #11)

─ Set up Domino server and OSGI debug configurations


Help Enhancements

Domino Designer 9.0 Social Edition user assistance─ Improved Designer Home Page info and tips─ Content assist and hover help within the XPages source

Designer Eclipse help plugins─ Many customer Feedback issues addressed in help─ ~ 1000 updates in the Designer basic guide─ Content organization streamlined

to remove redundant material─ Language cross references added

to some topics─ Many new code examples

– C&S APIs.... LotusScript Editor F1 help


A Fresh Look at XPiNCPerformance Improvements

Single Copy XPage Design feature─ Design Only copy of your XPiNC app locally deployed and preloaded─ Java classes (*.class) and resources (*.css, *.js *.image etc) are cached─ VERY efficient for many instances of a single application run using XpiNC

Single Copy Design with computeWithForm enhancements─ computeWithForm can be very expensive when running remote applications─ Computed form plus all its children must be downloaded and executed within the client─ Forms may be arbitrarily large

– Large forms + High Latency Networks == Poor XPiNC performance– With local S.C.D computeWithForm loads design elements from local NSF

XPiNC – Beware of Application Design Bad Practices─ Avoid any application logic that incurs unnecessary network transactions

– Custom Columns in a viewPanel that call getDocument.getItemXxx();– @DbColumn().. @DBLookup() calls within the rendered property of controls


XPiNC Performance Improvements – Run on Server

New “Run on Server” option─ Ability to run remote applications directly on the Domino server─ Mitigates situation where many XPiNC network transactions degrade performance─ Maintains XPages current look and feel─ Continues to support XPiNC custom features

– Notes bookmarking– Notes clients context menus (e.g. Open in Designer)– EnabledModifiedFlag/DisableModified flag behavior

─ XPiNC applications can be coded conditionally according to execution mode─ Uses Notes Account framework

– Facilitates seamless application access by avoiding re-authentication– If seamless authentication fails, runtime falls back to conventional XPiNC mode (run on

client)─ Run on Server is NOT enabled by default

– Can be set using an application wide setting; enabled by end user; set via policy


XPiNC Client Side JS Enhancements

XPiNC now has an extensible client side JavaScript model─ Since Domino 8.5.1 the client side XPiNC programming model has been limited

– Developers were limited to a small number of predefined commands (alert, confirm etc..)─ New XSP command available in IBM Domino 9.0 Social Edition

– XSP.executeCommand(commandID, commandParameters)• commandID identifies the requested function• commandParams is an object containing arbitrary arg values

– Or can be null─ The referenced commands are implemented via client side Java plug-ins

– Extension point name; “com.ibm.xsp.rcp.ExtendedCommands– Uses simple IextendedCommands Java interface

─ Provides secure access to Notes front end functionality via:– NotesUIWorkspace classes– Eclipse API classes– Custom Java code


Case Study – Core Transaction Enhancements Large customer has critical Notes application taking

5 seconds minimum for common operations─ Running 8.0.2

Comparative analysis showed benefits of moving to 8.5.3 FP2+ Outcome from just upgrading client to 8.5.3 FP2+

─ ~ 50% decrease in hourglass waiting─ ~ 40% decrease in overall NRPC Upgrading to current

release can really payoff
