Playing with DOLS on Mozilla and Domino 6.5
Tags :Technical
Well I love my Mozilla
based Firebird browser, really I
do. So putting it to the test so some of our academic customers can
utilize the new Domino Web Access (iNotes) on Mozilla we found that DOLS
wasn't working right. This sat idle for some time since we didn't
bother to open an incident as they were still testing all their applications
first on 6.5 from 5.12. Well low and behold here comes the magic
fix.
The Domino 6.5 Win32
server kits have the incorrect DOLS (Domino Off-line Services) filesets
for Linux/Mozilla clients. Not much exposure to this kitting problem
should occur, as it only applies to non incremental Win32-only server kits,
where the administrators are deploying Domino Web Access (DWA) to Linux/Mozilla
clients that need offline capabilities.
Now of course don't think that you can
just apply this fix, the user still has to uninstall the existing DOLS
form the client machine first.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Any Domino Web Access users that had previously installed their mailfile
offline to a Linux/Mozilla client will need to uninstall the DOLS files
from the offline machine, and then install again to apply the files from
this hotfix.
The following steps are required to uninstall DOLS from the Linux/Mozilla
client.
1. Remove the following files from the Mozilla program directory plugins/libnpdolctlm.socomponents/npdolctlm.xpt
2. Remove the following files from the Linux user's home directory inotes/*
3. Remove all the files from the /usr/tmp folder.
So the link for DOLS
6.5 Filesets for Linux Mozilla can
be found there.
