After I change my internet password from the browser, it allows me to login with both my old and new password.
for eg. my internet password is “abcdefg”. Using the inotes client I change the password to “pqrstuv”. I log off from the inotes client. Then I am able to log in using my new password as well as my old password.
Can anyone tell me as to why this is happenning.
Thank you.

Thanx

Yes, by default its 48 hrs.
Again from the admin help:
Syntax: HTTP_PWD_CHANGE_CACHE_HOURS=length of time in hours
Description: User requests for Internet password changes are submitted to the Administration Requests using the Domino “?ChangePassword” URL command. This INI variable allows both the new password and the old password to work on the HTTP server where the request was submitted for the number of hours specified in the INI setting. This caching allows for the change password request to propagate through the Administration Process and the Person record to be updated with the new password, as well as minimize inconsistencies by having only the new password work on the submission server and the old password working elsewhere. Changing this variable requires a server restart.
Applies to: Servers
Default: 48 hours
UI equivalent: None

I’ve added this line to my Server’s INI and set it to 1 to represent an hour. However after that hour is over, only the OLD password will work. We are running on Domino 6.0.2CF2 in a WIN2k enviroment. Has anyone experienced this problem?
