I am just wondering if it is possible to change a users password afterwards.
Problem: at the moment I teach a friend of mine how to better use Lotus. I was a bit scared when I saw that the company which installed the Notes Domino Server and all the Notes users never used password for the user.
With other words: one person can use the id file of a colleague (all IDs are stored on a central place) and is able - without typing a password in - to read all mails from his or her colleagues.
So I try to change it. Of course you can use the client to change the password locally. But this will not change the password on the server.
As Admin I did not find a possibility to set a password for an existing user so that a new id-file will be created (as I know the password additionally will be stored in the id file so you can log in locally).
I’m looking at a process whereby the administator would register a user with a random password, it does not matter what the password is, but lets say it is 'BLUE" for now.
As soon as the registration is complete, the next thing the admin does is go into the Admin client, and finds the newly registered person.
They then use the vault options to reset the password for the new user. For example it changes to “RED”.
This is the password that will be given to the new user to use when they log in for the first time.
Now when the user logs in with the password “RED” they will be immediately required to change it.
We can use password expiry but this won’t come into effect for 30, 60 or 90 days dependant on the policy.
