Mitch found out that FP2 for Notes 8.5.2 breaks Connections Files and Status Updater Plugins.
Notes 8.5.2 FP2 and Lotus Connections Plugins Might Not Play Nicely Together « CuriousMitch

Possibly outdated!
This article is possibly outdated. It mentions an older version of a software or tool. I haven't checked if the links are still working!
IBM sold their collaboration tools portfolio to HCL Software in 2019, so the product names changed and most of the IBM links are no longer working.

Today Luis Benitez annouced the new Connections 4 Plugins for Lotus Notes .
The zip-file contains all three operating system installer. Windows, Linux and Mac, but i had no success to install through xpd.mac-addon.pgk, because the preinstall script stop the installation.
You can open this file in finder:
Now you can copy the updatesite folder to an other place and use File – Application – Install in Lotus Notes. Point the Install to the updatesite folder and install the whole package. I have to restart twice, but after this i can use the new Status Update, Files and Activities Plugins.

Today i had problems to recreate my Activities Sidebar connection after a Notes Client reinstall.
Each time when i want to connect, i got the following error message:
Cannot connect to the Activities Server.
Either the URL is incorrect, the server is down, or a firewall may be preventing you from reaching the server. Check the URL, your firewall settings and the server status and try again.”
When i use the credentials in my browser or the integrated Notes browser, i could login, so server is responding and credentials were ok.

At the moment I’m working with a customer to secure all traffic in HCL Connections. The target is to have only encrypted network traffic between servers.
Today I started enabling encryption to Redis. This is a documented process , but the documentation is outdated and incomplete.
