Due to a bug in Notes/Domino we had to remove the HTML Options feature for the rendering of Notes richtext to HTML...

In Release 2.6 and 2.6.1 we added richtext support (richtext to HTML conversion) for dbreaddocfields() and dbreadprofilefields(). However, in both releases issues arose related to access rights. Basically the implemented feature would only work with Anonymous = Reader access, which in both releases would leave the temporary documents containing the converted richtext wide open to anyone accessing the soapgate Q! database directly via URL.

In release 2.6.2 we re-implemented the entire feature in the following way:

The soapgate Q! database requires an Anonymous user with Author rights with the Create documents  option selected.

To prevent however anonymous access to soapgate Q! whilst not using the provided web services, a new user role [Authenticated] has been added to the ACL.

All design elements and documents are protected by this new role and all ACL listed users and groups except for the Anonymous user require this new user role. It is important that the Anonymous user is not assigned this role!!!

If a user now opens the soapgate Q! database via URL, he or she will see a single view listing the temporary documents. This is required to allow access to these documents through anonymous access of the external application (for instance to open images or attachments contained in the converted richtext received through the web service operations).

HOWEVER, the documents cannot be opened unless a secret session ID is passed on in the URL as a parameter. If a user tries to open the documents listed in the view using a browser, a blank page opens.

The secret session ID is contained in the richtext (HTML) delivered by the two web service operations and is resend when images or attachments are opened.

Please note: you need to enable the new ClearRTCD agent to e.g. once a day clean up the temporary documents from the soapgate Q! database.
