Apple are getting ready to ship both iOS9 (sometime next week is rumoured) and the latest version of OSX called El Capitan. Already people have downloaded and are using beta versions of the software and finding things don’t work - small things like Notes won’t install or run and iOS devices won’t connect to Traveler!  So here’s what you need to do (and with thanks to the king of all things Apple OS Rene Winkelmeyer)

Your Traveler server must be upgraded to the latest version which was released last week - 9.0.1.7.  That version adds support for iOS9 and without it your devices won’t be able to connect.  All those BYOD users with iPhones are sure to be updating the second the OS is released so you really need to stay ahead of the game and get your server upgraded.  And whilst you’re at it , make sure you get your SSL certificates updated to SHA2 if you haven’t already.

Amendment: Rene would like me to make it clearer that not having a SHA2 certificate from a public CA will absolutely positively stop Traveler from working as of iOS9 right now.  He’s right - I wasn’t clear enough on that. Your Traveler server must have a SHA2 SSL certificate and really must be Domino 9.0.1 FP4

IBM have announced there will be a new 64bit (yay!) version of Notes 9.0.1 for the Mac to be released prior to the shipping of El Capitan.  There are no declared dates but I’m hoping that means “September”.  More details of that here but basically until the new 64bit client is available, don’t upgrade to OSX 10.11

So. Traveler first. In fact Traveler NOW and then wait… 🙂
