We are needing to force a password change to everyone in our organization for a sever security issue. I have tried to invoke some policy changes but cannot seem to make it happen to everyone. Only managed to make it happen to (who knows why) a few. Could someone guide me as to how to make this happen. It is extremely important. I have not done Admin in a very long time and unbelievably no else has here. I’s like to say where but cannot. Please, this is very important. Any guidance is appreciated!

It does not seem like there is a way to do that easily in Notes/Domino 6.5.x:http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21114401
Here are instructions on how to prompt the users to change their passwords, but they can still cancel out of it and ignore it:

Another things would perhaps be to set the password to have to be changed every 2 days (or even every day) for a few days, until all users logged in once during that timeframe and changed their passwords. But that would not help with people logging in infrequently or being away on vacation, etc.
If the users ar all accessing Domino through a browser, it is easier, use the “force internet users to change password on next login”, but it sounds like your users are using the Notes client…

We do have some web interfaces. I will look for that switch. Or could you point me to it. I do not recollect seeing it in my search. Thanks for the reply! We have around 5000 clients. I cannot see going into each person doc and making a setting. Surely there is a overall way for whole organization…
