The evils of Internet Passwords

Can someone explain something to me. When I change an internet password directly in a document in the NAB, why can’t that user log in until I restart http? I have been dealing with Notes/Domino for 13 years and I’m either having a brain fart, mental block, or I’m getting increasingly stupid in my 30’s. I set the INI to basically not cache, but the more I read that’s more linked to adminp.

I’m humbly coming to all of you as a senior level administrator that feels like he should know this already.

It is a sso configurated server. Using the Domino http stack… it’s rather plain jane as it comes to servers.

Now back to beating my head against the door.

Is authentication occurring on the same server where the address book update(password change) is occurring ?

Subject: RE: The evils of Internet Passwords

Yes, quick background. Small client that only has 2 servers. Basically there is a second address book that we hold information for web authentication. I have some script that creates these person documents, and sets the password. If I go into a person doc I will see:

Then if I save it, again… i will see…

it’s odd…

We do this all the time and tell the client it will take about 10 minutes for the change to take affect. And it works. I am trying to do this in a button - (so our tech service rep can do it w/ out having author access to the NAB) - and that seems to be a challenge.http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedweb/39aa722e82807ffa8525740400706521?OpenDocument

So what is the issue? Am I just impatient? Do I need to wait 10 minutes? What happens in the 10 minutes! :slight_smile: What magical thing is Domino doing.

Yes, I believe inpatience is the issue- I think I read somewhere in the Admin help that domino looks this stuff up every 2 minutes- our procedure is to set the IN Passwd to “password” and force the user to change it when they log on. We tell them 10 minutes and it works. However, my code to do it w/ a button (previous link) - sets the password fine, sets the fields fine, but does not seem to be forcing password change, even though that field is set to “1”.
