Allow interaction with local machine

Besides creating a local file in a cache-folder, there are no options to interact with the local operating system.


Please find a way to allow file access to the guest operating system and also other interactions like running a shell command etc.


Thanks.

    Browsers have locked down the access to the OS for security reasons. To break out of that we'd have make you install extensions into the browser like we already do with the COM extension (that would resolve item 1 in your list).

    This has broken the mission of Nomad being a non-install client, but we decided that it was worth it for the low risk, big benefit of allow COM to work.
    We are not currently convinced that other operations meet that criteria.

    If you need access to the OS for these types of capabilities, then I can only suggest that the full Notes client is solution you need.

    Marking this idea as "No Plans" just to be clear that we are not currently considering this. You are welcome to continue to vote for it.

    1. Local LotusScript agent calls MS Office objects to write Notes data into Excel for specialized reporting. We do this in almost every Notes app.

    2. Local LotusScript agent uses ODBC to connect to RDBMS to integrate a workflow app.

    3. LotusScript field event shells to Windows API to prevent entering more than X characters in the field.

    Can you describe in what situation you would need to run a shell command on your local OS from within Nomad Web ?
