• View Connections Profile menu extension fails

    By Brett van Gelder 1 decade ago

    When using Status Updater in Notes 8.5.1 FP1 with Sametime 8.5 addon installed the option to "View Connections Profile" is added to the context menu for all names/contacts. However, when clicking this option it fails against Connections.



    The reason is that instead of using the internet email address of the contact it is using the Notes heirarchical name which is not the format that the Connections server expects. The URL that it attempts to open is: http://connections.ey.net/profiles/html/profileView.do?email=CN=xxx%20yyy/OU=IT/O=EYI/C=GB&lang=en. It should be http://connections.ey.net/profiles/html/profileView.do?email=xxx.yyy@uk.ey.com&lang=en



    This makes the feature unusable and probably results form an assumption in the code that an LDAP directory is being used for Sametime. In fact our Sametime environment (like many others) uses the Domino directory. The correct user ID attribute therefore needs to be used to get the Internet email address.
