Groups with internet address members

All -

I am having issues with group membership.

Here’s how it breaks down.

We have a series of notes db comprising several web apps. Users (all external, no lotus notes users) are created in the domino directory via a custom registration lotusscript agent.

We wanted the user to login via email address into the system, so…

The person documents created via script have an internet address, ex: andrehedges@live.com, as the first entry in the ‘FullName’ field. The second entry in the ‘FullName’ field is the user’s first and last name.

Everything works fine with this approach, as users login using their email address, and the apps use @UserName in all sorts of places to calculate interface and document level security.

Unfortunately, when I add these users to groups, they are not picked up for use in securing documents. As well, @UserNamesList does not work with these groups.

Notes seems to want a distinguished name as the first entry in the ‘FullName’ field.

I have tried to use more the more name variations, less security setting from the security tab on the server document, with no success.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andre

Subject: Using e-mail address as username to login.

I have the same problem.

I hacked the ($ServerAccess) view to enable the users to login with their e-mail address. Works fine but users for groups in a secondary address book, it doesn’t pick up their userroles. Which is essential to restrict access to sections of the site.

Who logs in with a Firstname Lastname the web anymore? Come Lotus this is basic functionality, why doesn’t it work? I feel like just writing it all in .net. Just very poor. Forget your Xpages focus on the basics first.

Anyone got a solution.
