Customizing Notes using plugin_customization.ini

You can use the plugin_customization.ini file to control aspects of IBM® Notes® installation and usage.

The plugin_customization.ini file is supplied in the Notes installation kit in the deploy directory using the following format:

Notes_install_dir\framework\rcp\plugin_customization.ini

IBM Domino® administrative policy settings override plugin_customization.ini settings. If the client application uses a managed settings file such a managed-setting.xml, it too overrides plugin_customization.ini file settings.

Variousplugin_customization.ini settings can be used to managed client application preferences. Sample settings include the following.

• Feature trust and timestamp settings
  These settings allow you to define default trust and timestamp responses for use during feature and plug-in install and update.

  com.ibm.rcp.security.update/EXPIRED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=PROMPT

  com.ibm.rcp.security.update/UNSIGNED_PLUGIN_POLICY=PROMPT

  com.ibm.rcp.security.update/UNTRUSTED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=PROMPT

  com.ibm.rcp.security.update/TSAEXPIRED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=ALLOW

• Widgets and Live Text feature and catalog access

  In a server-managed environment, access to Widgets and Live Text functionality and the widgets catalog is set using a Desktop Policy Settings document. Alternatively you can use equivalent settings in the plugin_customization.ini file to control user access to Widgets and Live Text functionality and to a central widgets catalog.
