HCL Domino Version 14 with many new features in the backend

HCL Domino Version 14 sets new standards in security and management. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has been enhanced and now supports modern authentication protocols such as OpenID Connect. Certificates can still be managed seamlessly with Let's Encrypt, and the process has been made even more efficient through new automation features. For HCL Nomad users on iOS and Android, biometric login via fingerprint and facial recognition is supported, providing an additional layer of security.

Domino's flexibility remains a key focus. Version 14 optimizes operations in hybrid environments and on Kubernetes infrastructures. This allows companies to more easily switch between on-premises, cloud, and hybrid installations and dynamically adapt their IT environments.

There are also further improvements in the backup area. The integrated backup system has been expanded and now offers more detailed control options and easier integration with existing solutions. This makes data backup not only more secure but also more efficient – ​​entirely without third-party tools.

Eliminate desktop client upgrades

With Nomad Web, Domino apps are accessed via a browser and are always up to date. Developers can use app deployment via web browsers and mobile devices without modifying existing code. As a business user, you can take Domino apps with you wherever you work and on any device. Additionally, HCL Notes is available as an integrated client in a completely redesigned version.

Anyone can create apps – quickly – with low code

Business users can leverage HCL Domino Leap to automate their processes by building powerful, contextual apps and workflows with minimal coding experience. Maximize the value of your Domino investment by leveraging the same infrastructure, governance, and security without the risks of shadow IT. A toolkit of showcase apps makes getting started with HCL Domino Leap easy and demonstrates its capabilities.

Cloud-native with flexible backup and enhanced security

Deploy your Domino infrastructure anywhere – on-premises, hybrid, or in any cloud of your choice. Create Domino backups with your preferred solution, such as Veeam, or use Domino's new integrated backup feature. New security features that make Domino stronger include time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), automated certificate management, and biometric authentication.
