domcfg end of life soon?

  • Category: Domino Server

Hello!

   Our server administrators seem to think the IBM will soon be "scrapping" the domcfg.nsf database, for custom login pages / change passwords, etc..., in favor of other solutions.  They are suggesting trying something else.  This is their quote:

"On IBM's knowledge sharing broadcasts, IBM sometimes makes comments such as DOMCFG might not be supported forever, and that there are more robust replacements for it within WebSphere."

   Can anyone find anything "official" about an EOL for the domcfg.nsf?  I know OpenNTF has some controls and snippets that still use it, so anyone have any reason why IBM would scrap it?

Thanks, in advance!

Even if we provide other ways to configure custom login/error pages in the future, for legacy support purposes we will not remove domcfg.nsf as a means to provide custom login/error pages for the Domino Http Server.

Pointing to xpage login page

To point to our login.xsp page when one opens the login page listed in the domcfg.nsf we added the line below to the HTML Head Comtent area of the form:

 

"<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; URL='http://yourwebsite.com//websiteDatabase.nsf/login.xsp'\" />

XPage custom login

Hey, Howard!

   We could, but we'd still need to find a way to have the proper login page open when someone goes to the proper application.  Domcfg has been used forever, and works very well.

Thanks!

re: domcfg

Thanks, Mike!

   I'm glad to hear, as it seems that our server admins are looking at other IBM message boards, who seem to be pushing WebSphere.  Perhaps, those are WebSphere salesmen who are doing it.

Take care!
