Notes Shared Login: moving to a new machine

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a user’s machine installed as a single user Notes client and they have been assigned to use Shared Login via a policy which works fine.

The Notes client data directory has been configured to use a Network file share(user’s home directory) as the Notes Data directory to provide roaming functionality. This configuration works fine for everything except Notes Shared Login. I know there is a better was to do this but Notes roaming has not been used for various internal reasons.

When a user moves to another machine I get the message ‘Notes Shared Login Failed with this ID File’. I have copied the bin file that gets created in the windows profile directory across to the same directory on the new machine as the old machine and I still get the message ‘Notes Shared Login Failed with this ID File’

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

-Mike.

Subject: As soon as an ID is NSL-enabled, it is machine specific, you need to assign a PW to it first

As soon as an ID is Notes Shared Login enabled, it is encrypted with a secret (*.bin file in the user’s profile) that contains machine specific parts.Therefore you can’t simple copy a NSL-enabeld id to a second machine using OS-means.

Instead, you have to assign a PW to the ID and then copy it to the new machine (or use ID vault for it).

When the user logs on on the second machine the ID will be NSL-enabled once again.
