USING AND UNDERSTANDING READER NAMES | Lotus developerWorks
Take advantage of and implement the extremely useful IBM Lotus Notes and
Domino security feature, Reader Names fields. Learn how this feature affects
replication, agents, and views and how to troubleshoot two common problems
with Reader Names fields. Reader Names fields (also known as Reader and
Author Access or Reader Names) restrict access to documents in IBM Lotus
Notes and Domino databases. This security feature provides robust protection
against unwanted intrusion and provides designated users easy access to
documents that they should see. In other words, it’s an intelligent and
granular method for granting data access. This article provides a roadmap
for implementing Reader Names fields and provides plenty of tips to help
you avoid problems down the road.

available with an Eclipse update site. This article shows you how easy it is
to create an update site that includes a feature that you can add to the
Sametime action bar.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/sametime-updates
INTEGRATING IBM LOTUS DOMINO DATA WITH MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT SERVICES |
Lotus developerWorks
Integrate, don't migrate. This article shows you how easy it is to integrate
IBM Lotus Domino and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. Access Lotus
Domino data in a SharePoint installation using standard HTTP requests or
XML.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/domino-sharepoint/
INTEGRATING IBM LOTUS DOMINO DIRECTORY WITH MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY
USING ADSYNC | Lotus developerWorks
An enterprise IT environment with multiple directory platforms is a common
scenario, and IBM Lotus Domino Directory and Microsoft Active Directory are
popular choices within this scenario. This article explains one way to get
these two directories to communicate easily using the Lotus Domino Active
