Domino OAuth2 Provider Beta Release by KTrick
I would like to introduce our new solution called "Domino OAuth2 Provider (DOAP)".
We developed OAuth2 provider that can run on IBM Domino server.
Our Domino OAuth2 Provider (DOAP) brings true OAuth2 capability to your IBM Domino Servers.
Since we decided to provide DOAP community edition for Non-Commercial Use Only, everyone can download and use it.
Please visit our DOAP website and get the DOAP installer and free license
Once after you download our DOAP, please follow the tutorial about how to install DOAP: https://doap.ktrick.com/portfolio/tutorial/
Please try our "Domino OAuth2 Provider (DOAP)". Any feedback is really appreciated.
For more detail, you might want to check our FAQ page: https://doap.ktrick.com/faq/
Open Source Project "DOAP Sample Chat app with Domino"
To feel the power of OAuth2 capability with IBM Domino, we open-sourced node.js application called "DOAP Sample Chat app with Domino".
Please download/clone the code and check the instruction of how to run app from here: https://doap.ktrick.com/portfolio/domino-nodejs-chat/
This sample chat application is written by Node.js, web-socket and OAuth module to communicate with DOAP.
After the user login to Domino via Domino OAuth2, they can start chatting immediately on the web based node.js page. The chat comments are also synchronized with discussion nsf in the background. To pull/push the comments from/to the document of discussion nsf, we access to URL of Domino Data Service(aka Domino REST service) with Domino OAuth accessToken in the request body so that the token authorize the each requests seamlessly.
Below is the demo movie, please turn on the caption of the movie to understand what's going on.
Introducing IBM Domino Application on Cloud by IBM Notes/Domino Day 2017
IBM Notes/Domino Day 2017 was held in Tokyo on 09/19/2017.
I was very glad to hear that IBM Japan put "Notes/Domino" in their event title! It reminds me the Lotusphere event somehow.
And surprisingly Ed Brill came to Japan for speaking at OGS session of this event. Welcome to Japan!
In this event, IBM announced new coming service called "IBM Domino Application on Cloud" and the details.
IBM Domino Application on Cloud（DAC）
As my opinion, the one of biggest announcement is IBM Domino Application on Cloud in this event.
First time I've seen the golden color icon of Domino!
"IBM Domino Application on Cloud (DAC)" seems to provide the cloud platform that users can deploy the own custom NSF applications, and IBM tunes and do service maintenance for cloud domino server as well as the other PaaS solution.
The service release date is in October,2017, so it is really coming soon!
Before I've heard this new announce, I was wondering the answer for "IBM Domino Applications on cloud" solution by IBM is "XPages on Bluemix", However IBM was preparing much better answer than my guessing.
Below is the features I've heard about DAC in this event.
- Built Domino environment by own organization cert ID
- Users can create and deploy own custom NSF application
- Can be used by IBM Notes Clients, ICAA, WEB access
- Encrypt the saved data
- Capability of sending mail and/or running the schedule agent
- Allow to replicate between on-premise and cloud domino
- Users cannot get the control of domino administration.
- Domino server upgrade is made by IBM
- Max NSF size is up to 25 GB.
- Domino clustering is optional
- Enable DAOS is optional
- Domino Access Service is optional
Technically, DAC seems to be made by Docker technology and the domino server deployed to the docker container can host the users applications each.
I was also happy to hear that Tokyo data center was included as the Tier 1 location of DAC hosting center.
Tier 1 location is US, AP(Japan), EU(Germany and Netherlands), Tier 2 location is Australia, India, China...
License of DAC
Below is the information of DAC License I'v heard today:
- Montly charge by each DB
- Contract period is at least more than 1 year
- BYOL (Bring Your Own License), so SS&S license of Enterprise Server,Utility Server, etc needed
- Start the service from Minimum 10 dbs
Conclusion
IBM already provided the cloud solution for mail, calendar by Verse. And now finally we could get the cloud option for own custom applications. Also I wonder mix environment of XPages on Bluemix and DAC can make something new spark like easily integrating with other systems, etc.
Finally I hope these new services also give the spotlight to the XPages development more.
