NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE

Using Domino policy to verify trust
Occasionally, during IBM® Lotus® Notes® install or update, a security problem is encountered for a feature or plug-in. Either a JAR file is unsigned, not signed with a trusted certificate, or the certificate has either expired or is not yet valid. You can establish a policy for never installing these plug-ins, always installing them, or asking users to decide at the time the plug-in is installed on their workstations.

Note If you are updating using the install media kit, IBM® Lotus® Domino™ policy takes precedent over settings that reside in the Notes install media kit deploy\plugincustomization.ini file. Domino policy does not affect the initial install.

To configure a policy for signed Eclipse plug-ins, complete the following fields on the Domino Administrator client Signed Plugins tab. The options for each of the following fields are to ask the user, never install, or always install.


For information about using this Domino policy, see the topic Creating a security policy settings document and scroll to the "Configuring signed plug-ins" subtopic.
