I’ve created a contacts database which I’m now trying to enable for web authentication, and not getting very far!
So far I have done the following:-
Changed the DB properties to type ‘Domino Directory’
Created and populated the following views:
($Users)
($PeopleGroupsFlat)
$PeopleGroupsHier)
Created and populated the following fields on my documents:
FirstName
LastName
FullName (type: Names)
MailAddress
Type (=“Person”)
ShortName (first initial then surname)
HTTPPassword (encrypted)
Created a Directory Assistance document enabling the database for Internet Authentication/Authorisation
Yet, if I try to login with a test user of Fred Flintstone, with a short name of fflintstone, I get the following error:
03/03/2008 17:45:27.78 [0DD0:0014-0A90] WebAuth> LOOKUP in view ($Users) (user=‘fflintstone’ org=‘/MML’)
03/03/2008 17:45:27.78 [0DD0:0014-0A90] WebAuth> No unambiguous match for user=‘fflintstone’ org=‘/MML’
…even though fflintstone is definitely listed in my ($Users) view! DA is definitely working properly, as if I replace the contacts database with an older design, authentication is successful.
So what am I missing here? What are the minimum design requirements to allow a standard Notes database to be used for web client authentication?
