Excerpt: Apache Front-End to Domino Summary This document was created because of a need to keep my current Photo Gallery available on my website and get rid of using Apache on another port in the backend just for the Gallery.

Also, I have recently been approached about hosting html only websites here on my new server and this setup would be optimal for this type of solution. Also, s...

Excerpt: During my career as a Lotus Notes/Domino Administrator I've found it necessary to sometimes have to write my own agents, applications, scripts, etc. to perform certain administrative functions. These are some of the classes along with the pertinent methods and properties, of which I use most often. Now, I'm not trying to write an entire book here, just trying to make you aware that these functions exist and can make your life MUCH easier. I'm also not going to go into a lot of detail regarding e...

Background Like I said above. This is the way I would prefer to run my web server. This way I only have to have minimal rules on the Web Server...

Excerpt: Samba based Primary Domain Controller Summary This document was created because of a need to increase security on my home network and provide a way for my family to get the same start menu, desktop and internet favorites no matter which machine they logged in from.

Excerpt: Using lsxldap for Directory Lookups Introduction I've used the lsxldap tool for quite some time now to do e-mail look-ups in web applications. It isn't a very pretty way of accomplishing LDAP lookups but it does work and it works rather well I might add.
