BP107 - The Low-Down on LDAP
Using IBM Lotus Sametime, IBM Lotus Quickr, IBM Lotus Connections or IBM WebSphere Portal? LDAP is the key directory technology necessary to integrate any (or all) of these applications together. This session will take a dive deep into LDAP, looking at what is necessary to build a core LDAP directory using IBM Lotus Domino. We'll take a look at what the directory schema is and how to leverage the open standard for integration with systems such as Active Directory. Finally, we'll see how Lotus Domino can integrate with other directories 'out of the box' via both Directory Assistance and IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator.
BP302 - Admins are from Mars, Developers are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication in Your (Working) Relationships with Thomas Duff
Even though you're working with the same software, you'd think that developers and administrators come from different planets. "The Martian and the Venusian" will share the core mindsets and practices that will help bridge that communication gap and show 'those other people' what you wish they knew about your side of the equation. This session will facilitate communication between the two groups and establish a common ground for a better working relationship.
JMP302 All Things Mail with IBM Lotus Domino - Standing in for Susan Bulloch with Paul Mooney
Come discover all the things your Lotus Domino Server can do with mail, from the basics to the advanced features! We'll show how the Lotus Domino mail router routes mail, utilizing routing costs and paths, name lookup and type-ahead. We'll cover best practices for messaging configuration from the server all the way out to the client. We'll give you tips and tricks for setting mail rules, for using mail journaling, on how to use trace commands and on understanding routing tables. Learn about SMTP configuration, relay hosts, blacklisting and common configuration techniques and recommendations. To help you prepare for your move to Lotus Domino 8, we'll talk about Message Recall, the new Inbox cleanup tool and how recent changes to the Out of Office agent affect the router.

Plus, take home tips for exporting data to be manipulated outside of Lotus Notes, and lots of key resources to help you be more confident in writing your scripts.
