Hi,I’m completely new to Notes (started looking into it 2 days ago), still I have to write a program that’s able to access a Notes database automatically without user interaction. I’ve been reading a bit, and found out about this “nextpwd.dll” which should be able to provide the password whenever it’s needed. I’ve built the DLL, and followed the steps described in the readme file, but it doesn’t work and I’m a bit lost. Here’s my environment:
OS: Windows 2000 SP2
I’m running a Domino server locally. It’s installed in e:/lotus/domino
I also have a Notes Client installed in c:/Programme/lotus/notes
So now here’s the question: what do I do with the DLL? In the readme it says I have to copy it to my Notes directory (so I assume it goes with the client), along with a text file containing the password I want to use (as for now, the name of the file is hard-coded in the DLL, so there shouldn’t be any problem finding it). In addition, I added an entry in notes.ini: EXTMGR_ADDINS=extpwd
However, when launching the Notes client, I still got a password prompt. Letting other programs access databases didn’t work either (that is, accessing the database did work, but I had to enter my password each time).
Since it didn’t work, I figured I might have to do all this with the server instead, but it didn’t work either.
I’m pretty sure the DLL was correctly loaded each time by the corresponding application (client or server), being able to see it in a process manager.
Lastly, as I said at the beginning, this is supposed to allow another program to access databases without a user needing to type their password. Do I have to do anything special for this?
Thanks for helping,
David
