More Information

Important With the introduction of this hotfix rollup, the Domino Connector is now a 64-bit Connector and it has some new settings. After you have applied this hotfix rollup, you have to take some additional steps before the Connector will work.
  1. Open the Connector’s properties. On the Properties page under Architecture, change the value from x86 to Process.
  2. Go to the Connectivity screen and enter the password for the Connector.
  3. On the Global parameters page, notice the new Enable creation of _Contact objects drop-down list. This was a check box in earlier releases. If you have previously used this feature, select the Non-reference values option.
  4. On the same page, verify that the Use AdminP for updating references option is selected. This enables the same behavior as in earlier releases.
  5. For more information about the new properties, see the "New features" section.
  6. Save the Connector.

We recommend that you also apply FIM Synchronization Service hotfix 2889529  to resolve an issue in which the password for the Domino Connector is unavailable.

Issues fixed

This hotfix rollup fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

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.

New Features

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.
