Prerequisites

To apply this update, you must have the following installed:

• The Lotus Notes client

• The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0

• The Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service in one of the following:

  • Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2

  • Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 Update 2 (build 4.0.3606.2 or a later build)

Additionally, a user account on the same server as the service account of the Lotus Domino connector must start Lotus Notes one time. Also, the default Lotus Domino Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) schema database (Schema.nsf) must exist on the Domino Directory server.

Note You can install the default Lotus Domino LDAP schema database by running or restarting the LDAP service on the Domino server.

File information

The global version of this update has the file attributes (or later file attributes) that are listed in the following table. The dates and times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When you view the file information, it is converted to local time. To find the difference between UTC and local time, use the Time Zone tab in the Date and Time item in Control Panel.

Issue 1

The connector removes leading and trailing spaces when strings are exported. This triggers an "exported-change-not-reimported" warning message when you confirm the import.

Issue 2

If the AdminP process doesn't respond in a timely manner, the Synchronization Service seems to stop responding (hang). After you apply this hotfix rollup, the Connector now times out the AdminP request after 15 seconds, and the operation is kept in the Connector Space. At the next export or during confirmation of the import when the change is processed by AdminP, the Connector merges the change.

Feature 1

Logging for the Connector has moved from text files in the extension folder to ETW logging. This was done for consistency with other Connectors from Microsoft. This also addresses an issue in which the FIM Synchronization Service reported an error because of changes in the extension folder.

Feature 2

By default, the Domino Connector uses the directory assistance service in Lotus Domino to detect secondary address books. When this service is not enabled, you can now manually add the secondary address books. To do this, enter the secondary address books in the Additional address books to add to the partition list on the Global property page. The Synchronization Service uses these address books in addition to those returned by the directory assistance service.

Feature 3

There's a new Use AdminP for updating references option. By default, this option is enabled and lets AdminP keep referential integrity intact. In case AdminP is not configured to maintain referential integrity, you can now export reference attributes as they appear in the connector space and thereby bypass AdminP.

Feature 4

In earlier releases, the Connector assumes that all references can be resolved to the names.nsf primary address book. When Lotus Domino is configured to have separate address books with different distinguished names representing the same object, it's now possible to also create _Contact objects for all reference values that are found in an address book. On the Global parameters page under Enable creation of _Contact objects, select the new Reference and Non-Reference Values option.

Feature 5

The Connector now runs in a 64-bit process.
