HCL Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
- What's new in Domino Designer 12?
  The following features are new for developers in HCL Domino® Designer 12.
- Accessibility and keyboard shortcuts
  Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully.
- Application Design
  Welcome to the Application Design section of Domino® Designer Help.
- Application Management
  Welcome to the Application Management section of Domino® Designer Help.
- Domino® Query Language
  Domino® Query Language (DQL) is a facility running on a Domino server that provides a terse, shorthand syntax for finding documents. It supports a wide variety and complexity of search terms. It leverages existing design elements, avoiding the need to write detailed code to access them. DQL consolidates all methods in Domino for searching document contents.
- Composite Applications - Design and Management
  Composite applications are a key element in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and contextual collaboration strategy. The ability to create and edit composite applications lets you easily integrate different types of components and technologies.
- DB2® Access views
  Domino® Designer includes two types of design elements to assist you in managing data contained in DB2® enabled Notes® databases:
- Programming Overview and User Interface
  This section contains general guidelines and examples that show where to use Java, LotusScript, and the formula language.
- Formula Language
  This section documents the formula language.
- LotusScript® Language
  Welcome to the LotusScript® Language section of Domino® Designer Help.
- LotusScript/COM/OLE Classes
- Java/CORBA Classes
  This section documents the Java/CORBA classes.
  - Java™ Classes Coding Guidelines
  - Java™ Classes A-Z
    - Properties and methods with ECL security using Java™
      The following tables list the properties and methods affected by an execute control list (ECL). These properties cannot be accessed or set, and these methods do not execute on the workstation unless the marked ECL priveleges are granted to the signer of the formula.
    - Java™ constants
      The following sections provide contextual information for the constants used by the Java™ classes. Listed are the constant names, their integer values (in parentheses), and the properties and methods in which they are used.
    - Supporting components
      The following classes support the use of Java™ with Notes/Domino and the Domino® Objects:
    - ACL (Java™)
      Represents the access control list (ACL) of a database.

      The IDVault class is a representation of the secure storage facility for UserIDs that may be configured for Domino by policy. IDs are stored there to allow for easier management by administrators and users. IDs from more than one server may be stored within an IDVault. The IDVault class provides methods to access UserID files, UserID objects, query the presence of an ID in the vault, sycnronise copies of IDs, and reset passwords. The IDVault class can be used to access UserID objects or files. These can be used to accomplish the encryption or decryption of Documents while running on the server.

recertify (Registration - Java™)

Recertifies an ID file.

Defined in

Syntax

public boolean recertify(String idfile)
    throws NotesException
public boolean recertify(String idfile, String certpw, String comment)
    throws NotesException

Parameters

String idfile

The ID file to be recertified; specify the full path, for example, c:\notes\data\user.id.

String certpw

The password for the certifier ID file.

String comment

A value for the comment field in the Domino® Directory record for the user.

Return value

boolean

True if the operation is successful; false otherwise.

Usage

CertifierIDFile must be set.

Expiration defaults to 2 years from now.

Note: The expiration default is new with Release 6.0.3.

This method acts on the Domino® Directory (names.nsf) for the server specified by RegistrationServer, or names.nsf in the local Domino® data directory if this property is not set.

This method prompts for the ID password.
