For Domino administrators supporting a mixed environment, developers creating software for multiple operating-system platforms, and system administrators (Unix, Linux, Windows) who want to tap into Notes and Domino, this article shows how to transport data between Notes and a non-Notes system using generic, lightweight clients. You’ll learn how to get external system data into Notes, allow non-Notes administrators to access and retrieve information from a Notes user-management database, deliver Notes information to an LDAP directory, update a Notes database with data from a non-Notes system, and initiate the sending of data from Notes to non-Notes systems. Step-by-step, you’ll see how to implement a user-management solution using Domino agents, curl, CGI, Perl, XML, the HTTP POST and GET methods, and e-mail. This article comes with a demonstration Notes database and sample programs that you can download from THE VIEW Web site. |
