Hello. We’re looking for documentation on the API that would allow us to hook the initialiation of the Notes client, prior to the running of the Notes Single Logon service.
Specifically, we’re trying to figure out how to get an updated .id file copied to the local hard drive before the client attempts the Single Logon.
This is to support server side password changes.
I checked All Releases, but in reality, we’re using 6.0 and later.
Thanks
Subject: Docs for Notes Client Initalization API?
there are several ways to do so.
hooking in a point prior to login can be done by either using a nsf_hook or an extension-manager.
without using them for things they were designed to, you can use their main-entry point to do things you need.
some problems to think of:
accessing a server needs you to login first. if you try to open a server you’ll be prompted pwd for by notes (doing this too early you’ll get a very old style one:).
but you can open all local databases (acl doesn’t matter, but encryption will).
but you could get an updated id-file file-based (some network path?) and change notes.ini or delete and replace old id-file.
maybe in notes6 there’s a better solution one good admin could tell?
