- Domino 14.5 Mandated Port Encryption Hands-On — CheckPortEncryption Agent, portenc Commands, and Recovery Paths
Following yesterday's concept piece, this article walks through the official 10-step enablement procedure: upgrade the server address book design, sign the CheckPortEncryption scheduled agent, key Directory Profile fields, server ini values (DEBUG_MANDATED_ENCRYPTION, MANDATEDENC_ACTIVE_REFRESH_TIME), Desktop policy entries (DISABLE_MANDATED_ENCRYPTION), the portenc refresh / show console commands, and how to back out if enforcement breaks something. Pre-14.5 servers get their own behavior section.
2026.05.12 - What That `?` Icon Means in Domino 14.5 — Mandated NRPC Port Encryption Concepts and Modes

It's not a bug — it's the compliance indicator for the new Mandated NRPC Port Encryption feature, sitting in its default disabled state.

Hands-on enablement steps are in the follow-up article.
2026.05.11 - Domino 14.5 Changes Where NotesHTTPRequest Loads Trusted CAs From — Read Before You Upgrade

The Notes client is unaffected, and a notes.ini fallback (NotesHTTPRequest_Use_CACerts=1) reverts to the old behavior — but long term, you should migrate self-signed CAs into the Domino Directory. This piece walks the change, scope, pre-upgrade checklist, and ties back to the 5/7 deep-dive on the NotesHTTPRequest toolchain.
