Ability to manually upload N/D installers in AutoUpdate database

In the customer's environment, the Domino servers are locked down in a secured environment and have no means to communicate with the MyHCL Software Portal via the AutoUpdate feature.

For such situations, the customer would like to request the ability to manually upload/attach the Domino installers into the AutoUpdate database.

    I don't think manual downloads would be a good idea.
    There is better way to use an internal download server.
    This way you could scan files separately on that Linux machine before they are uploaded.

    Today you can manually add a download URL if you have a local server with web-kits.
    But the timing is tricky because the URL will be updated the next time the software list syncs.

    If you don't have a internet connection, you will also not get the software.jwt file updated which contains the software information which is turned into software documents. The download server would also provide a way to download the software.jwt.

    The software.jwt is important for two reasons:

    • update the software documents

    • it is also uploaded to the servers to validated the web-kits before they are extracted and installed
