My org is in the process of converting from Access based db’s to notes, and the conversion has gone very well. I however have discovered a simple anomaly (don’t say doh!!). When the users log in from the web I would like them to be able to simply use the short name i.e. user1 vs. user1/Domain. I’ve played with it, and played to no avail. Any suggestions? and as usual, thanks in advance.

use only shortname withot the domain: user1
Don’t forget to put an internet password for user1 in the person doc.

That’s what I thought would be the case, however when logging in, if i don’t use the username i can’t log in. I thought that in the past I had been able to do this, but don’t know if therre is a difference. For what it’s worth i did just upgrade to Domnio 6, which i love btw!!

Lotus Domino 6 provides greater control over how Domino authenticates users accessing the server from Internet clients. In Domino 5, this setting applied only to Web browsers; in Domino 6, it now applies to all Internet protocols, including LDAP, POP3, IMAP, and so on.
On the Security tab of the Server document, the setting “Internet authentication” provides two choices: “More name variations with lower security” or “Fewer name variations with higher security.” Selecting “More name variations” authenticates users the way Domino 4.6 did – users can enter any of the following as a user name when prompted by the browser or other Internet client:
Last name only
First name only
Short name
Common name
Full hierarchical name
Any alias in the User name field
Internet address
UID, if using an LDAP directory for authentication
If you select “Fewer name variations,” users can enter any of the following as a user name when prompted by the browser:
Full hierarchical name
Common name
Any alias in the User name field
Internet address
UID, if using an LDAP directory for authentication

That was it!! Thanks for your response. After reading the prvevious post it dawned on me that it had to be on the security tab, but as usual when somethings looking you right in the face…
