We have a custom application that is used by IT service desk staff to handle Windows password resets (the database contains challenge questions etc). I have been asked to explore adding the same functionality that is present in Domino Administrator in the “Extract ID From Vault” facility into this application. I’ve done a bit of research and I suspect that I will have to use API functions such as SECExtractIdFileFromDB via LotusScript. Calling API functions from LS is not something I have done much of. Has anyone else been down this pathway and can point me in the right direction? I couldn’t find much on this topic beyond the “Security APIs in Notes/Domino 7.0” Developerworks article. Thanks in advance.
Subject: SECExtractIdFileFromDB cannot be used
SECExtractIdFileFromDB is not in the SDK and cannot be called.
Are you hoping to extract an ID from the vault where the password is known to the person extracting the ID?
Or are you hoping to extract an ID from the vault where the password is unknown?
Subject: The password of the ID will be unknown
Subject: Currently not possible with the available APIs
Currently there are no available APIs that you can use to extract an ID without knowing the password.
