ID vault problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I did set up a ID vault without errors, added Admins and certifiers, and finally I added the vault-db to the security policy document. But instead of populating the vault-db with user ids, all I get are errors:

ID failed to authenticate in vault ‘IBM_ID_VAULT\idvault.nsf’. ‘username’ (IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:pppp) made request. Error: File does not exist

I tried the following three variations for the entry of the vault-db in the security policy document:

idvault.nsf

IBM_ID_VAULT\idvault.nsf

\IBM_ID_VAULT\idvault.nsf

All three the same error, see above.

The filename of the vault-db really is idvault.nsf, there’s nothing I can do about the IBM_ID_VAULT\ path, domino sets this automatically.

Any help is much appreciated.

Subject: thanks…

…did that, nothing changed.I noticed that Domino wrote the name in the vault document as “/idvault”, so I changed the entry in the security policy document alike. But again, nothing changed. Then I changed the name in the vault document to “idvault”, security document too. No success. I’m giving up now, will delete the vault, wait a day and start from scratch.

Subject: another try

I did set up the new vault as “id-vault” - same errors.Meanwhile I’m coming to the conclusion that the problem is not the name/file name of the vault but the ID-files. I suspect the ID-files are expected to already reside in the vault but this is not possible as the vault isn’t populated yet. I cannot see in the documentation why it didn’t get populated ans/or what to do to populate it.

Subject: solution

Here’s what I did:1. deleted the existing vault db

  1. deleted all existing vault certifiers

  2. rebuilt all views of names.nsf via load updall -r names.nsf

  3. created a new vault “idvault”

  4. the entry in the security policy document has to be “/idvault” !

Now it works :slight_smile:
