Domino Security
When doing a web app review of some apps deployed on Domino servers I came to the conclusion that there was very little good information on Domino for the security professional so I set about to fix that. There is a paper and presentation given at OWASP's appsec DC 2010. In the long run I'd like to make this a repository for Domino security information, and will try to keep it up to date.

Useful Data
  • View names used in the Domino help files.
  • Special Identifiers and other special commands in Lotus Domino.

    Presentation at AppsecDC 2010
  • slides: ppt | pdf
  • video of presentation (will be available from appsec in the near future and noted here at that time).
  • Appsec page on talk.

    External Resources
  • Hackproofing Lotus Domino Server an article by David Litchfield from 2001, aimed at the security auditor.
  • Lotus Domino Security a whitepaper from 2002 by ISS X-force, also aimed at the administrator.
  • Lotus Security Handbook an IBM Redbook from 2004, it covers mostly general security principles and only covers Domino incidentally at the end. It's intended audience seems to be a Domino admin, network admin, or network architect working with Domino.
