Delete the user id from ID Vault through standard Lotusscript class methods

Hi

We have ID Vault enabled on our 8.5 server. I have setup an Notes application in which a dedicated user is able to enter a request document to remove an user. This request will trigger a Lotusscript code (the deleteUser nmethod of the NotesAdministrationprocess class) that will create a adminp enry in the admin4.nsf database.

What I would like to know why the id vault entry is not also deleted from that database. When I manually delete a user from the public addressbook then there is an extra option in the Delete Person screen to delete the ID from the vault.

Is there an extra method of the Lotusscript class that can also do this?

When I automatically create a user through the “registerNewUser” method then the id is automatically created in ID Vault without extra programming.

Regards

Subject: No extra Lotuscript method for deleting ID vault entries

This is no special method for removing the ID vault entry. This is under consideration for a future release.

Subject: I need to remove IDs from Vault too…

… as part of an automated ‘termination’ process. If it cannot be done with LotusScript, can any C API functions be used to achieve the same result?

It’s rather a shortcoming when registering a new user can automatically add an ID to the Vault without additional programming, but the reverse process cannot be achieved completely and needs some manual intervention. I hope Lotus considers fixing this in a not-too-distant release. It’s often such little things that cause the platform to be viewed in an unfavourable light.

Thanks,

Steve.
