Directory Sync Directory Sync allows you to sync people and group data from an external LDAP directory into the Domino® directory. Currently data from Active Directory can be synced.
DAOS tier2 storage Domino® Attachment Object Service (DAOS) tier 2 storage enables you to use an S3-compatible storage service to store older attachment objects that haven’t been accessed within a specified number of days. This feature allows you to reduce the amount of data stored on Domino servers that use DAOS. It can also improve the performance of any incremental file backups done for DAOS.
New Java™ Runtime Environment The Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) that comes with HCL Domino® 11 and HCL Domino Designer 11 is now Eclipse OpenJ9 that is provided through AdoptOpenJDK.
IBM® GSKit cryptographic libraries replaced with the OpenSSL equivalents On all HCL Notes® and Domino® platforms, OpenSSL 1.1.1a cryptographic libraries replace the IBM® GSKit libraries provided in earlier releases.

(This setting is in the ID vault tab of a Security Settings policy document).
