I am kinda struggling to get all location documents in the business the same.
We would like to remove the credentials filled in for the proxy from everyones location document by Policy.
We did manage to get the flag removed but still the credentials are saved somehow.
Now we would love to get rid of these before disabling the option.
This one works:
ProxyAuthenticationFlag=0
But these two can’t be left blank in the ‘wizard’ for custom settings - Locations:
Proxy_LoginName
Proxy_Password
When I fill in - “” - this simply writes this in all location documents instead of clearing those fields. One blank space is accepted but somehow still doesn’t work.

I suggest that you post a button in a common db and send the users a link the document. In the button write some lotusscript code to clear /remove these fields in all the location documents.

That might be a way yeah, but thought I wanted to do it without the users knowing and having to do some steps. Since we have a lot of users that have no time to do such steps not even when it is this easy.
And no we use 8.5, but this part of the forum seems to be more populated and with more responses.

There is quite a bit of traffic in the 8.5 forum. The 8.0 forum is pretty dead, though.
My solution to automate this would be to send each user a Notes document. Use the functionality to embed the form with the document. Then you just add code in QueryOpen of that form to go to names.nsf, locate the location documents and update the field.
The user will not see anything, except for what you put visible on the form. Perhaps a message saying “Thank you, your location documents have now been updated”?
