Hi,
Since I upgrade the HUB server to R6, my local administrator on other R5 domino server have an error message when trying to type command on the Domino console. They try directly on the console and remotly using the R6 Administrator client.
The error message is: This command is not permitted when console security is in effect.
What can I do to resolve this problem.
Thank you,
Alexandre

Directly from the Admin Help (I did a search on 'console security")
Amazing what you can find in the help if you try looking…
Syntax: Set Secure currentpassword
Description: Password-protects the console.
After you password-protect the console, you can’t use the Load, Tell, Exit, Quit, and Set Configuration server commands or other programs that aren’t run automatically through Program documents in the Domino Directory or through the NOTES.INI file until you enter the password. Console security remains in effect until you clear the password by entering a second Set Secure command with the same password.
Even if the console is password-protected, keep the server physically secure to prevent breaches of security at the operating system level.

Can the console password be removed through the notes.ini file? We have one set apparently but no one is admitting to having set it so we don’t know what the password is. I noticed the last line in our notes.ini file is “SERVER_CONSOLE_PASSWORD=” followed by four letter/number combinations.

I`m guessing you have sorted your problem by now…but for others out there…
Server_Console_Password
Syntax: Server_Console_Password=encrypted_password
Description: For the encrypted_password to be written to this setting in the NOTES.INI file, you must use the Set Configuration server command to specify the password.
The password can be a combination of letters and numbers. When this setting is added to the NOTES.INI file, Domino activates the Set Secure command to secure the server console. The password provided should be different from the administrator’s user password. If you forget the console password, delete this setting from the NOTES.INI file, and then re-specify a password.
Applies to: Servers
Default: None
