Is your organization flirting with a move to Microsoft 365? Or are you managing an infrastructure that includes both Domino servers and Microsoft 365 cloud services? As Microsoft 365’s footprint grows, many HCL Domino environments are finding the need for the two technologies to coexist. This session will discuss best practices, native options and third-party tools to allow the two environments to work together, ultimately reducing your overhead and allowing your users to be productive. Just because you are running dual environments, does not mean you have to duplicate efforts to manage them. Let us give you tips on how to save time and give your users a cohesive experience.

• Buddy List synchronization – more fitting for a long-term co-
existence project
• The only way you can do interop with ST and something else
is using a ST Gateway AND Nextplane – no advanced
Federation as of yet

for Business/Teams – they have three “levels” of IM

Domino Directory Sync

22. • Tell dirsync show
• Sho stat dirsync.*
Domino Directory Sync

23. • LDAP provides a way to authenticate but both
AD/AAD/O365 and Domino require they are the directory
”master” so Dirsync is necessary for these two systems to
work together
• SAML – supported 90% by Domino and 100% by AAD, so
this is a good path to pursue IMHO, however:
– Assertions not supported (If this could be supported then we could
support Domino ACLs for SAML users)
– Managed logout not supported
• OAuth – not supported by Domino as SSO solution, but:

Authentication Coexistence

24. Please support SAML full implementation in Domino
https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-
395
If Domino is to be taken seriously in the multi-vendor world, we must have a
complete SSO solution and SAML, IMHO, is the one closest to fruition…. But just
not quite there yet

SAML

25. Please support SAML full implementation in Domino
• https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-395
This was a request to add Azure AD as an IdP – states it has been shipped as of Domino 10 but
doesn’t appear on my demo Domino 11 server
• https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-299
This request was to provide support for Single Logout with Domino which is still “needing review”
• https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-536
Allow the use of other mapped fields that are passed by O365 but ignored by Domino

27. This is a huge area and I’m only going to scratch the surface…..and hopefully provoke some response
from the audience
• Accessing data in O365 with Domino
– How to get data out of O365
The data is O365 is stored in the Common Data Service (CDS) and can be accessed
“REST”fully using the CDS Web API:
