Could their ever be a more flame-worthy title? Yet, what makes Sharepoint the new Notes is not only what is does well, but also what it does not do well.
Those that have read my work over the past few years know that I am an ex-IBM Lotus Notes consultant/developer that has had alot of recent […]
Having recently debugged a Domino application that stored RDBMS credentials in the Notes.ini file on the server, I was reminded of a very powerful feature that was built in to the .NET 2.0 platform. That is the ability to encrypt portions of an applications “web.config” file.
