Description
Lotus QuickPlace 7.0 provides the following enhancements.
If you upgrade from an earlier version of Lotus QuickPlace, the upgrade process
preserves the existing external LDAP directory connection managed by Lotus
QuickPlace. If you want to switch to Domino management of user directory lookups,
you can make this change at any time.
Caution Once you have switched to Domino management of user directory lookups,
reverting back to the Lotus QuickPlace management of LDAP directory lookups is not
supported.
The new server notes.ini file setting $h_Debug=1 enables the browser to
display detailed messages about JavaScript™ errors that occur on the client,
rather than the general Lotus QuickPlace message, "Unable to process your
request at this time."
The new server notes.ini file setting $h_ClientDebugConsole=<level> displays
a console log on all clients that access the server. Use this setting on a
temporary basis to help IBM Support troubleshoot a client-side problem.
The new server notes.ini file setting
QuickPlaceHTTPInterfaceLogging=<level> logs the interaction between Lotus
QuickPlace and the Domino HTTP server during the processing of a URL. This
setting is useful primarily as a first step toward isolating user authentication
problems or problems related to the interaction between Lotus QuickPlace and
Domino.
The new server notes.ini file setting h_ExceptionDetail=1 adds the source
code name and line number from which errors and warnings are generated to
the error and warning messages that the server sends to the browser. Use
this setting on a temporary basis to help IBM Support troubleshoot a problem.
Additional messages have been added for a number of existing logging
settings.

encryption of all offline places, managers of places can enable encryption for specific
places.
i5/OS documentation
The Lotus QuickPlace Administrator’s Guide, the Lotus QuickPlace Installation and
Upgrade Guide, the Lotus QuickPlace Developer’s Guide, and the Lotus QuickPlace
Release Notes now incorporate information for IBM® iSeries™ (i5/OS™). The
installing and managing guide and the Readme files specifically for iSeries no longer
exist for Lotus QuickPlace 7.0.
5
New for users
Access control in Lotus QuickPlace has been changed in the following ways to be
more like Domino access control:
Managers can edit and delete all documents in a place, even if access has
been restricted by the document author.
Default and Anonymous users are now assigned distinct levels of access to a
place. Anonymous users -- users who are not members of a place through
individual or group membership and who access places without authenticating
-- are assigned the Anonymous level of access, instead of the Default level.
Authenticated non-members are assigned the Default access level. You
specify these two access levels by adding Anonymous and Default as place
members. Anonymous can have only reader access, whereas Default can
have reader, author or editor access.
Nested folders
In previous versions of Lotus QuickPlace, folders could contain only documents. Now
folders can contain other folders (subfolders). If you use the new themes, you can
access these subfolders through the table of contents. If you use any of the themes
previously available in Lotus QuickPlace, you can access these subfolders through the
folder list.
Offline passwords
Users can now use their Lotus QuickPlace sign in passwords for offline places. Users
are no longer required to set or remember a password for each offline place to which
they belong when this feature is enabled.
6
Offline encryption
Offline Lotus QuickPlaces can be encrypted whenever an offline place is created or
synchronized. An administrator can set the encryption server-wide, while a place
manager can set the encryption for a specific place.
Improved My Places
In earlier versions of Lotus QuickPlace, when a user displayed the places of which he
or she was a member, the performance was poor if a user belonged to a large
number of places. In Lotus QuickPlace 7.0, the performance has improved. In
addition, a Last Modified column has been added, and the places may be sorted by
any of the columns (Name, Title, Size, Last Modified, Last Accessed).
The HTML and JavaScript that the server provides to the browser is no longer
encoded, so it is more readable by Lotus QuickPlace developers.

Backward compatibility
All Lotus QuickPlace servers in a cluster must run version 7.0. For instructions on
upgrading Lotus QuickPlace servers in a cluster, see the Lotus QuickPlace Installation
and Upgrade Guide. In a non-clustered environment, a Lotus QuickPlace 7.0 server
can operate in the same Domino domain as a 6.5.1 server. Interoperation between a
Lotus QuickPlace 7.0 server and a Lotus QuickPlace 3.0, 3.0a, 3.0.1 server is
supported, but only temporarily during the process of upgrading the version 3
servers in the domain.
A Lotus QuickPlace 7.0 server can be configured to use a Lotus Sametime 7.0 or
Lotus Sametime 6.5.1 server. Note that using a Lotus QuickPlace 6.5.1 server with a
Lotus Sametime 7.0 server is not supported.
Note You cannot follow these steps if the place is in use. You may want to use the
QPTool lock command to lock the place before opening it to find the build number.
For more information on using QPTool lock, see the Lotus QuickPlace Administrator's
Guide.

Getting started
The process to install Lotus QuickPlace 7.0 is similar to that of previous versions.
Upgrades from versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.0.1, and 6.5.1 are supported. A small change in
the upgrade process is that you must unregister upgraded places from the Place
Catalog and then re-register them. This step is required to upgrade the My Places
feature and the Place Catalog.

Domino Directory Classic Handling is one of the authentication models supported in
Lotus QuickPlace 6.51. It continues to be supported in QuickPlace 7.0 for backward
compatibility only. IBM does not recommend using this model once you have
upgraded to Lotus QuickPlace 7.0.
To enable this model of authentication, the customer has to do two things: Put the
following entries in the qpconfig.xml and also select "Domino Server" in the "Change
User Directory" user interface.

In Lotus QuickPlace R3 the notes.ini setting QuickPlaceDSAPIFilters was required to
configure Lotus QuickPlace to work with a Domino DSAPI application such as
Netegrity SiteMinder. This setting is no longer required in Lotus QuickPlace 7.0.
Instead the SiteMinder filter should be specified as a Domino DSAPI filter in the
Domino server document. Note that the notes.ini setting QuickPlaceUseDSAPIDNs=1,
which tells Lotus QuickPlace to trust the distinguished names returned by the DSAPI
application, is still required in a Netegrity SiteMinder environment. When using
SiteMinder 5.5, you should obtain from Netegrity the hotfix for Domino 6.0.2,

Limited access in Administration place when user is Creator and the user's

Problem Log in to a Lotus QuickPlace server as an Administrator. Add a new member

John should be a member of Group1. When John Doe logs into the Administration
place on the Lotus QuickPlace server, he cannot see the PlaceTypes folder. He can
see the Server Settings room, but when he tries to create a new user, he gets an

When John Doe logs in, he can see the links for Server Settings because he is in
Group1. But when he tries to add a new Creator he gets an error. This is because
Lotus QuickPlace tries to write name of the new Creator to CreateHaiku.nsf. Since
John Doe is explicitly named as an Author in this ACL, he does NOT have manager
access to this database, and therefore gets the error. The ACL rule for Domino is that
when an individual is explicitly named in the ACL, that is his access level. He only
gets the highest level of access of his group membership when he is NOT explicitly
named in the ACL.

Lotus QuickPlace is installed and Lotus QuickPlace is using the English (US)
dictionary with spellchecker, then the current unused.dic and wpdic.dic files will have

Calendar
Calendar event emails are not sent when a user clicks the Notify link in a
calendar page
Problem A user clicks the Notify link in a calendar page, but a Calendar event email
is not sent to the calendar subscribers.
Resolution Calendar event emails are generated only when an event page is created
or an existing page's date and time fields are modified. The Notify link is used
strictly to notify users of a page via text emails.
A draft page marked to send calendar notifications does not send the

Time zone in calendar event notifications routed to Notes clients can show
AST rather than EST
The time zones displayed in calendar event notifications are defined in relation to
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Eastern Standard Time (EST) without Daylight Savings
Time is defined as GMT-5. Eastern Standard Time with Daylight Savings Time in
effect (EDT) is defined as GMT-4. However GMT-4 also defines the Atlantic Standard
Time (AST). To distinguish between AST and EDT, event notifications created in EDT
have a flag turned on indicating that Daylight Savings Time is in effect and that the
notification is therefore EST. During the process of routing EDT event notifications to
Notes clients however, the Daylight Savings Time flag is lost and so the date for the
notifications display as AST. This problem occurs only when the Domino SMTP router
routes event notifications to another server and not when a recipient's mail server is
the same as the Lotus QuickPlace server.

++Fonts
Lotus QuickPlace for i5/OS does not support some of the fonts that are available for
Lotus QuickPlace on the Windows platform. In addition, the rendering of the text
using the fonts is different. As a result, certain fonts may look different and the
images generated with certain fonts may have slightly different sizes for Lotus
QuickPlace on the i5/OS platform, when compared with Lotus QuickPlace on Windows
or in offline mode. Lotus QuickPlace for i5/OS looks for its available fonts list in the
following directories in the integrated file system:
