Notes Domino Server Platform for e-commerce?

[Frank.Baasner () ARAL DE (Baasner, Frank)]

Hi there,

some folks in my company would like to install an e-commerce
web-server based on Lotus Domino 5.0. Does anybody have concerns
about the vulnerability of Notes/Domino regarding this purpose?

I have heart that it should be possible for *bad* people to get
the admin password out of a notes database through a web inter-
face. Is there anybody who can confirm this? If so, is there
anybody who knows whether I can suppress this kind of hacking
with a firewall?

Any kind of suggestions expected to be helpful!
