Whitelist Active Content Filter
You can enable a whitelist filter as the Active Content Filter (ACF) in Domino®. The ACF is used to remove potentially harmful active content from HTML messages such as JavaScript™, Java™, and ActiveX. A whitelist filter removes all entities except those in the whitelist. A blacklist filter (used in previous releases and still the default in this release) retains all entities except those in the blacklist.

- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
  - What's new in IBM Domino 10.0.1 Fix Pack 2?
    In Domino 10.0.1 Fix Pack 2, you can configure cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) to allow a web application from another origin to access resources on a Domino web server.
  - What's new in IBM® Domino® 10.0.1?
    The following features are new in IBM® Domino® 10.0.1.
  - What's new in IBM Domino 10.0?
    The following features are new in IBM Domino 10.0.
    - Publishing statistics to external services
      You can set up IBM® Domino® to publish Domino statistics to an external monitoring service. The service must be able to accept time series data via HTTP POST requests. A Domino server is preconfigured to publish Domino statistics to the New Relic service using the New Relic Plugin API; all you need to do in this case, is create a New Relic account and then add a setting to the server notes.ini file to enable the server to report its statistics. You can also configure Domino yourself to publish to Domino statistics to another service, for example, Hosted Graphite.
    - Features that save you time
      The following new Domino features are designed to save you time and make you more productive.
    - Security features
      - SAML federated identity provider configuration enhancements
        Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) 4.0 and the industry-standard SAML 2.0 AuthnRequest are now supported. In addition, the IdP Catalog (idpcat.nsf) design has been improved to simplify the steps to configure Domino® to use a SAML federated identity provider. To take advantage of these enhancements, replace the design of your IdP Catalog with the Domino 10 idpcat.ntf template.
      - Maintaining ID file synchronization with the vault
        When passwords on Notes® client IDs become different from the passwords on the IDs in the ID vault, synchronization of ID information between clients and the ID vault stops. In this release, you can enable automatic restarting of synchronization when the passwords get out of sync. You can also use the Query Vault console command or the Domino Administrator to monitor and manage ID synchronization.
      - Whitelist Active Content Filter
        You can enable a whitelist filter as the Active Content Filter (ACF) in Domino®. The ACF is used to remove potentially harmful active content from HTML messages such as JavaScript™, Java™, and ActiveX. A whitelist filter removes all entities except those in the whitelist. A blacklist filter (used in previous releases and still the default in this release) retains all entities except those in the blacklist.
    - Apache Tika conversion filter used for attachment searches
      The Domino® server and Notes® standard client use Apache Tika 1.18 open source conversion filters to extract text for full-text searches of attachments. Tika replaces the KeyView conversion filter used in previous releases.
    - ODS 53 supports larger databases and folders
      The maximum size of databases allowed in IBM Domino 10 has increased to 256 GB; previously it was 64 GB. In addition, the maximum size of folders has increased significantly. Although the precise maximum size is difficult to quantify, users can expect at least a 10-fold increase in folder size capacity.
    - ODS 52 is the default ODS level
      The default On-Disk Structure (ODS) for databases is now ODS 52, the ODS for IBM Domino and Notes 9.0.1. Unless there is a Create_Rx_Databases=1 notes.ini setting on server or client that specifies another ODS (for example, Create_R10_Databases=1), ODS 52 is automatically used with new databases or databases that are compacted using copy-style compacting.
    - Improvements to Web Site rule documents for HTTP response headers
      When you create a Web Site rule document for HTTP response headers, you can now include up to 20 custom headers; previously you were restricted to three. In addition, you can designate each for HTTP, HTTPS, or both HTTP and HTTPS requests.
    - New features to push to Notes® clients
      The following new features can be pushed down to IBM® Notes® clients.
    - Component packages that are upgraded in Release 10

Whitelist Active Content Filter

You can enable a whitelist filter as the Active Content Filter (ACF) in Domino®. The ACF is used to remove potentially harmful active content from HTML messages such as JavaScript™, Java™, and ActiveX. A whitelist filter removes all entities except those in the whitelist. A blacklist filter (used in previous releases and still the default in this release) retains all entities except those in the blacklist.

About this task

Blacklist filters need to be maintained to continually guard against threats from new markup patterns. Whitelist filters are considered a security best practice because they are explicit about the patterns that are allowed.

The whitelist filter is applied to IBM® iNotes® and IBM Verse® messages but not to IBM® Notes® messages.

For more information, see Enabling the whitelist Active Content Filter.
