HCL Digital Solutions Product Management Team
Providing a secure enterprise mail solution trusted by governments and regulated industries has always been an essential mission for HCL Domino. Trusted by 40% of the Fortune 500, Domino is the backbone of corporate communications and powers our customers’ workflow applications that run their business.
In every Domino release, we have continued to invest in the core platform for apps and mail. This includes our own desktop, web and mobile clients, plus open client options such as Apple Mail. Here, we provide an update on the progress we’ve made and what’s coming.
User Experience
Here are examples of the improvements we’ve made to both HCL Verse and HCL Notes. If you’ve not seen these before, please contact your BP or HCL sales representative for more information on upgrading so you can take full advantage of this more modern experience.
Capabilities Recently Delivered and What to Expect Next
Based on feedback from our community, here’s a summary of our Domino mail portfolio and our product plans for the next 3 years:
| Product/capability | Delivered recently | HCL roadmap & strategy |
| Domino |
|
|
HCL clients for mail and apps

Note:*
Recently, Microsoft announced an initiative to consolidate its Outlook clients and mail protocols. In addition, they announced the deprecation of the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol and API and its M365-based replacement that even Exchange on-premises customers will need to use.
Due to the change in Microsoft’s protocol, and since most of the Domino customer base are Windows users, HCL has decided to invest in HCL Microsoft for Outlook (HTMO) to provide the open mail experience rather than continuing to develop EWS support. Specifically, our plan to deliver support for Outlook on Mac and Mobile under Project Quattro has ended. Consequently, in subsequent HTMO releases, we’ll focus on improving the ease of installation, performance, stability, and provide calendar feature parity with Notes and Verse where applicable.
As always, HCL Digital Solutions is fully committed to the Domino community and our customers. We value your feedback, so please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or submit your ideas to Aha. Thank you for your support.

As part of the Domino Early Access Program, we are pleased to announce the first beta of the Domino REST APIs (formerly known as “Project Keep”). We heard from our customers that these APIs play an essential role in allowing you to extend your Domino applications. These APIs are on the roadmap for delivery for Domino Complete Collaboration (CCB) and Domino CEO Communications customers on active support along with the Domino “Danube” release coming in the fall of 2022. Note: The REST APIs only work with Domino v12.0.1 and higher (if you haven’t upgraded yet, now’s the time!).
What is it?
The Domino REST APIs allow for pro-code development through secure access to HCL Domino servers and databases, allowing you to use the programming language and framework of your choice — while maintaining the reliability and deployability of your Domino data and applications. They run alongside the server and allow you to — securely and easily — expose your Domino data in the form of standardized Open-API–based methods. Using a browser-based admin UI, application owners can define which data will be made available for view or update on a REST API. The APIs extends the Domino principles of reader/author document access definitions into the world of Internet protocols.
The Domino REST APIs also includes the Swagger UI, an API explorer that allows the visualization and interaction with APIs without having any of the actual implementation logic in place. The APIs are automatically generated from an OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specification with visual documentation, making it easier to later implement the back-end code.
What’s special about the new Domino REST APIs?
What can be accessed via the Domino REST APIs?
You can access content like views, documents, and fields, as well as agents and ACL settings. And, of course, featuring DQL queries to quickly access the data you are looking for.
Built-in declarative security ensures the API will only allow access to fields the caller is authorized to see or update. This can effectively prevent computed fields to be overwritten and limits participants in a workflow to update their fields only.
How is this different than the previous beta program?
The Domino REST APIs are now focused on application-based data. We will not be providing APIs for mail-related data and tasks. In addition, participation in the beta and access to the shipping release will require a Domino Complete Collaboration (CCB) and Domino CEO Communications license.
How to participate
The Domino REST API is now available as a prepacked, ready-to-use Docker container to Domino Complete Collaboration (CCB) and Domino CEO Communications customers on active support. The download will be available in the “HCL Domino” product line category on our License and Download Portal. Please visit the documentation here to learn more and to set up your test environment.
You are invited to join our Domino Early Access program forum here, to provide your valuable feedback and suggestions on the Domino REST API Early Access program.
Please note, the Early Access program will run from now until the Domino REST APIs are shipped with the Domino “Danube” release coming in fall 2022.

HCL Domino Product Team
About three weeks ago, my entire new and expensive kitchen went dark. I gave my wife a confident smile, said, “I got this,” and went to the basement to flip a few breakers. As you can probably gather, I didn’t “got” this, and the stubborn breakers kept flipping back as if mocking me. I took the walk of shame upstairs and called my friend Rebecca, the electrician.
My kitchen was not part of the original house and was an addition done later, so Rebecca was able to get behind the wall and take a look. This is where the Bruce Willis part comes in. Having watched The Fifth Element the night before, I made a joke by imitating Chris Tucker playing Ruby Rod in the scene where he discovers the bomb that’s about to blow up the entire place. I said, “Corbin, Corbin, my man, you know how to stop this, right?” The look Rebecca gave me was exactly the look on the face of Bruce Willis, right as they started running to the escape ship just before the big explosion.
Here is the scene from YouTube. You will love it!
The wiring was a complete mess and obviously not to code. Rebecca said that the kitchen could’ve easily caught fire, and, unlike Bruce Willis, I did not have an escape ship to run to.
So how does this relate to Microsoft Power Platform?
As you probably know, Microsoft Power Platform consists of four parts, Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents. If you want to build any business app that is beyond just a simple form, you need at least the two main parts of the platform, Power Apps to build the UI and Power Automate to build the workflow and automation. (Oh, and let’s not forget the data sources such as Dataverse and other data connectors.)
For example, if you just want to send a simple email, you need to create a form in Power Apps and then pass the values into Power Automate a.k.a. Microsoft Flow to execute it. Here is an example of the process in Automate after something gets filled out in a form. (Please pay attention to the title of each box.)
Click Here for the Above Example
This is just a simple flow, but you get the picture. We all know how incredibly easy it is to do this in HCL Domino. These flows can get extremely complex, split many ways, and integrated into multiple SaaS products. Imagine dozens of them for just one app, and that’s where things get really tangled up (like the bad wiring behind the wall in my kitchen), and things could go wrong (boom, big bada boom).
In my previous life, when I used to run a marketing technology company, I integrated an ancient twenty-five-year-old Microsoft Access database with Facebook Ads using Microsoft Flow. I created very complex processes that worked well and even got my company a case study on Facebook.com.
What the case study didn’t mention is that six months later, just like my kitchen, everything went dark. No leads were coming through right in the middle of the busy season. I went back to the code and had the exact same terrified look that Rebecca and Bruce Willis had in their movie. I figured it out eventually, but it took a few sleepless nights and a lot of anxiety. Now that I am gone, I don’t know what will happen if there is a next time and things go dark again.
To achieve a viable solution with Microsoft Power Platform, you need to learn four overly complicated products that are nothing like one another. They were four different products until some Microsoft marketing head decided to lump them together (I admit that this is conjecture). One of Microsoft’s taglines about the Power Platform is: “Give everyone the ability to create solutions that accelerate business.” Really? Seriously? At What Cost? Risk? Real, business-critical solutions come from technology that is not cobbled together that changes every six months. With Microsoft, to debug something, it really is like looking at a mess of wires behind a fifteen-year-old kitchen wall!
Now you can see what my kitchen and the Microsoft Power Platform have in common.
They all might just go down if one thing goes wrong. And how does this all relate to why you need Domino? Customers always tell me how they have been running Domino Apps for YEARS with no problems. Simply nothing goes dark. Ever! I am not saying that Domino can’t be complicated, but what I am saying is that the code has already been written and simply works. And what we are trying to do here at HCL is to expand and modernize Domino while minimizing risk, time, and the expense of a traditional rip and replace process that can be fraught with so many pitfalls and unforeseen costs (just like my new kitchen).
In today’s crazy world, is it really a good idea to try something new and unproven?
All I ask is that you go past the marketing hype and really, really look at what really drives your business and how you can make your workflows even better with minimal disruption and risk.
I am not preaching Domino here (well, a little), but what I am saying is that we at HCL are very much aware how critical business continuity is…and how Domino plays a huge part in that process. We are doing everything possible to make sure that your existing Domino investment like existing code, data, security and management can be leveraged within any new tech you add to your stack, instead of being ripped out and replaced by a set of electrical wires that can burn down not only your kitchen but the entire house. (Dramatic music, please.)
After all, none of us won’t end up like Gary Oldman in the end of The Fifth Element, do we?
Thank you for letting me geek out! 😊

The HCL Digital Solutions Product Management team has streamlined the product ideation process for HCL Domino, HCL Domino Volt, HCL Sametime, HCL DX, HCL Connections, and HCL Volt MX.
We often get asked what our process is for how an idea becomes a feature and how best to submit an idea that will have a better chance of successfully becoming a reality.
This blog will help make the process more transparent, responding faster to our customers.
What Is an Ideas Portal, and Why Have One?
There are many factors that shape modern software development. One of the most important is crowdsourcing feedback from our customers, specifically the users and administrators of our products. We have portals where customers can submit ideas for features and capabilities that they’d like to see happen for our products. By studying submissions and responses in our Ideas Portals, we understand more about how the product is being used and discover ways to make the experiences even better.
Submitting a New Idea
When you navigate to an Ideas Portal, you can select the “add a new idea” button. Some portals request you specify the product (because the portal contains more than one product). After that, add your idea, some details, and a category. Categories help us to organize ideas and we may even recategorize your idea once we review it. Here’s a list of all our Digital Experience portals:
Domino idea portal including:
When you’re ready to add your idea, please follow three steps (outlined below). While we want to gather and prioritize your ideas, we’d like you to vote and comment on other people’s ideas too. Here is our best practice to add an idea:
Step #1: Search first to see if your idea already exists. Please vote for any ideas and add any additional comments that you may relate to your idea.
Step #2: If your idea doesn’t yet exist, create a new idea and format it like this:
“As a <insert role>, I would like to be able to <insert action> in order to <insert need>.”
Step #3: Create as many ideas as you’d like but remember to keep each idea as a separate entry repeating steps 1 and 2 above, i.e., do not create an idea that consists of more than one request for enhancement.
Ideation Workflow and Process
Once your idea has been submitted it moves its way through our custom process and we evaluate strategy alignment, technical feasibility and scheduling. Below is a simplified diagram of our process with an explanation of each step in the process.
All Ideas enter the system as “Needs Review.” On a weekly basis Product Mangers (PMs) will examine that bucket of ideas and process them.
“Needs Clarification” is a possible outcome of a review because the PM does not understand the idea. Here’s where you can make a huge contribution.
All ideas should be written as a “user story.”
As a person in my role, I want <this functionality>, so I get <this benefit>.
Example 1: As a Sametime meetings user, I want to have an interactive white board, so I can collaborate with peers and accelerate productivity through staying in one tool.
Example 2: As a Connections Wiki editor, I want the rich text editor buttons to stay on the visible screen as a scroll, to speed up the editing.
Notice, you are not telling us how to implement the idea but stating a need and a benefit.
Try to consider your fellow users and request features or fixes that could benefit many people, not just you, personally. This approach will increase the chances that your idea is accepted.
Once we understand the idea, the idea goes through a series of filters. Is this already delivered? If yes, then we classify the ideas an “Already Exists.” A more important question is: does this idea align with our goals for the product? Even if this is a great idea it could fail this test. Be aware that we do not have unlimited resources and need to focus on the greatest benefit to the community of users. So, do not take “No Plans to Implement” as a personal rejection. It’s a business consideration, not a bad idea.
After the idea passes through this initial gauntlet of obstacles it is elevated to “Under Consideration.” If there are ideas that are similar in nature to this new idea, it will be merged with other ideas. All votes under all the individual ideas are merged too, giving the merged idea more validity within the user community.
At this stage, we have a healthy backlog of ideas that can be promoted to a production feature. PMs triage this backlog and work in collaboration with our agile development staff to groom and size the idea into a deliverable story.
Sometimes an idea cannot be delivered for architectural reasons, or the feature is just too expensive to develop, and the benefit is too small. For these reasons and ideas can be categorized as “No Plans to Implement.”
“Future Consideration” indicates that this is an idea we want to pursue, and we have the technical ability to deliver it, but cannot fit it in to the schedule at this time. So, this idea is not assigned to a release.
“Assessment” begins the real work of user story decomposition and sizing. Items are being worked on by the development staff to quantify, understand and deliver the functionality. For many reasons, the item cannot be committed to shipment date.
“Planning to Implement” is the most favorable outcome and indicate that resources are available, and we have the technical ability and we have space available to schedule this feature into a release on our board.
The final category is “Shipped”. I don’t think this needs any explanation. 🙂
Closing Thoughts:
We trust this blog has given you transparency into an important process at HCL Digital Solutions. In Fy2023 you’ll see us encourage more customers to use all our Ideal Portals. Please look out for news on the topic in the coming months. In general, if you have questions about this blog, we are here to help.

As someone who has spent almost 28 years working around HCL Notes and Domino administration, my mind was blown with the number of new features that were delivered when v12 shipped in May of 2021. And HCL kept the pedal pressed to the floorboard, introducing many more enhancements with Domino v12.0.1 in December of 2021.
Considering the primary goal of a systems administrator is to protect the service, these new offerings make obtaining that goal easier. When it comes to simplifying configuration, boosting security, and ensuring data integrity, Domino sets you up for success.
Nomad Web
For years you have had the option of letting your end users access their Domino data from the Notes client or a web browser. The Notes client provides various UI features, and the web browser offers mobility. Nomad Web gives you the best of both worlds – a Notes client that is accessible from anywhere with zero local install required.
By deploying Nomad Web, you no longer manage Notes client deployments. The binary files supporting Nomad Web are on a single server. In just a few minutes you can upgrade thousands of users to a new Notes version, apply a fix pack, etc.
And, when migrating Notes users to Nomad Web, they can take their Notes desktop with them. Out of the box, they have all their same databases available.
CertMgr
Just like you wouldn’t send a letter in a non-sealed envelope, you should take the same safeguard and put a lock on your system’s network traffic.
Domino v12 has a new Certificate Manager feature, which provides an easy and effective way of managing TLS credentials used for securing Domino server communications. From within the Certificate Store database, you can create certificate requests, add trusted roots, upload received certificates and configure automatic renewal of Let’s Encrypt certificates.
In v12.0.1 you can import PEM/PKCS12 certificates, export TLS credentials to PEM/PKCS12 certificates and create your own Domino based certificate authority.
Backups and Restores
Mistakes, failures, and disasters happen. Your ability to respond to these events is a keystone in data management.
Domino v12 has a native backup and restore offering. The configuration, processing and logging is all part of Domino. As a result, the Domino administrator has complete control over protecting Domino’s data.
Additionally, you can use third party backup software and integrate it with the native feature. Domino v12.0.1 allows you to reliably restore data from a third party. Full integration with Veeam snapshots are possible, too.
DKIM
Domain Keys Identified Mail, DKIM, is an email security standard used to guarantee email messages are not tampered with during transit.
Domino v12.0.1 supports DKIM by adding an encrypted signature to the messaging header of outbound emails. DKIM signatures not only assure message contents but also confirm the originating point, meaning your sender addresses cannot be forged. Adding DKIM to the Domino configuration allows recipients of your domain’s email to trust your communication’s authenticity.
Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) Authentication
Domino v12 delivers 2-Factor authentication, requiring web users to provide both their user name/password credentials and a unique six-digit token. The token is unique for the user, generated by the TOTP application and the user’s Domino ID Vault server. While a third party may obtain a user’s credentials, they will not have access to the device running the TOTP application. Hence, they cannot provide the required code and the access attempt fails.
IP Address Lockout
The ability to control Domino resource access by IP address has been part of the SMTP and Router configuration for several releases. With v12 you can also define which IP addresses are allowed to access the Domino server from a web browser. Addresses outside of the allowed list will be denied access.
iNotes/Verse and User IDs
A cornerstone of Notes client security is the ability to sign and encrypt email. With the move to accessing email from a web browser, iNotes and Verse support document signing and encrypting by requiring a copy of the Notes ID be contained in the mail file.
With v12.0.1 iNotes and Verse can use the ID stored in the ID Vault. This enhancement continues the trend towards leveraging the ID Vault for security operations. Using the ID Vault provides a secure, centralized and sustainable ID file storage strategy, which improves the formidability of the Domino deployment.
Domino Directory Enhancements
The Domino Directory is where administrators do most of their configuration work. Domino v12 adds new features to improve the directory’s usability.
AdminQ
The Administration Process in Domino automates user renames, updating a locally stored ID, group listings, access control lists and Names fields in documents. However, if a user does not log in from a Notes client, the rename process fails to complete.
New to v12.0.1 is Admin Quick, which is a Notes database, adminq.nsf, AdminP uses to process user renames automatically. While this feature is intended for iNotes and Verse users, the administrator can extend it to all users.
Cloud Native
Cloud computing provides a means to be flexible and scalable without having to internally support an expensive infrastructure and respective IT staff, which equals the ability to stay competitive at a reduced cost.
Your Domino v12 servers can be part of your cloud journey. V12 is fully supported to run on all major platform vendors, including Google, Azure and AWS. Domino servers are certified for Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat’s OpenShift. As always, Domino provides you with options.
One Touch Setup
Part of a modern DevOps strategy is the ability to quickly deploy servers using a script that defines configuration settings. Additionally, re using a script ensures your standards are applied to each install.
Domino v12 allows you to use a JSON when building new servers. The JSON can be used for the first domain server or additional servers. When deploying Domino on Docker, Windows and UNIX platforms a JSON can set up the Domino server, an ID Vault, register users, configure directory assistance, create/update applications/documents and enable agents.
Advanced Properties Box
The document properties box is a valuable troubleshooting tool when it comes to reviewing document contents, specifically field values.
With the Notes v12.0.1 client you now have an Advanced Properties box that allows you to search for field names and values, copy rows of data as a CSV, view profile documents and compare documents. And, the advanced properties box can be resized, making the text easier to read.
AD/Domino Password Sync
The Domino Directory, also known as the Public Address book, has existed since v1 was released in 1989. And while it is great for managing a Domino environment, most often it is not the only system directory you have. You wind up duplicating efforts with user life cycle processing.
To reduce administration efforts Domino v11 introduced the ability to synchronize the contents of AD to the Domino Directory, which includes both user and group documents. User creations, renames and deletions are performed in AD and then flow to the Domino Directory.
Domino v12 now includes password synchronization with AD. When a user’s password is changed in AD, the password for the respective user ID in the ID Vault and Internet password in the Person document are updated to the same value.
Conclusion
Domino v12 and v12.0.1 offer several new features that the administrator can use to improve the security and operations of the Notes and Domino infrastructure, all while decreasing total cost of ownership. Most important, these are all included as part of the entitlement, no additional cost required. There has never been a better time to upgrade!
And I can assure you that HCL is not backing off the commitment to continue delivering powerful administrative features as we look to Domino v12.0.2 and beyond.
HCL keeps making improvements and investing in all our products, and HCL Domino has a strong and future-proof roadmap. The latest version (v12.0.1) has a lot of new features and improvements. You can listen to a webinar about everything it has to offer here (plus a Q&A summarizing the hundreds of questions asked at that event).
I have been using Notes Client for many years, and it has improved with each version, here is a summary of some of the latest features of Notes Client that you will surely love and will help you with everyday life.
1. You Can Access Your Email from Anywhere — Even Offline
Due to the global pandemic, most of us are working from home. So, with Notes, even if you don’t have immediate internet access, you can draft emails and keep working. There are times that the internet connection is intermittent, or even lost due to unforeseen circumstances. Emails prepared offline will be sent as soon as the Internet connection is re-established.
Also, customers have told us that when traveling on a plane or going somewhere, their favorite work-related activity is to clear up their email backlog. Most of them work in Notes Client during their journey. They can read and respond to email just like they would when they are at their desk connected to the Internet. As the Internet connection is re-established, the email is automatically sent.
2. You Can Schedule When Emails Are Delivered
There are times when you want to schedule or delay the sending of an email if you’re working late and want to send an important email to a customer/client, you may not necessarily want it to show up in their inbox at 12 midnight). You can schedule the sending of that message so that it will appear in their Inbox closer to their working hours.
Here’s a link to how to schedule how you can schedule email.
3. You Can Recall an Email
Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling as you realize you have accidentally sent an email to the wrong person? Or experienced sending email with incorrect data or missing attachment? If you are lucky, it could just be an embarrassing blip on your day, but there is the potential for some very real damage, like incorrectly sending confidential information.
So yes, sending an email to the wrong person or group can be embarrassing. Here’s how.
4. You Can Categorize Email Items to Stay Organized
Hunting and pecking to find a lost email can be frustrating and time-consuming but Notes now has an easy way to search by sender. You can quickly find a name in this view by typing any string of characters in the name, not just the first characters. This feature requires the Notes® 10 mail template (mail10.ntf).
5. You Can Manage Email by Creating and Setting Mail Rules
Does your inbox get flooded with emails every day (like it does for all of us)? Ever wish they would magically move to another folder where you can view them later; so that you can focus and concentrate on what is more important.
Great news, with Notes Client, you can set rules that will automatically manage your emails and organize them in specific folders. This is possible by setting mail rules through the Manage and Create rule feature.
Here’s how to create and manage rules in Notes Client.
