 COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING Collaborative Software: Domino 4.5 Server Powered By Notes T he masquerade was over the moment Lotus Development Corp. unveiled Domino 4.5. Our Well-Connected winner is Lotus' latest foray into the realm of cohesive support for collaborative computing and Internet technology. Smoothly integrating Notes databases with the Internet, Domino provides a robust interactive application development platform. Domino supports discussion forums, workflow applications, messaging, calendaring and scheduling, as well as a bevy of custom-developed apps. By letting users access Notes databases from a browser, Domino easily generates Web pages from databases--and does this in real time without extensive modification. Domino offers offline browser support, Web caching and Post Office Pro tocol 3 (POP3) access. Management is consolidated in one console: Web sites and Notes are administered from a single location. Domino carries forward Notes' high-level security mechanisms with support for public/private key encryption, authentication, access control and Secure Sockets Layer (SLL). Domino provides integrated support for HTTP, Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (SMTP/MIME), HTML, Java and ActiveX, moving the Notes product from the proprietary arena into the open domain.
Webmasters can quickly create a comprehensive functional site with the Domino.Action application development tool by using a collection of templates for prevalent features, such as a site registry or a discussion group.
