Hi everyone,
We have a requirement to change password of poweful id every 180days.
i changed the password of the administrator id via Lotus Notes Client (version 9) but when i tried to access the server i encounter the below message when i tried to access the server using the new password.
You have different password on another copy of your id file and you must chnage the password on this copy to match
Can you share what i need to do?
thanks
Hi Tatstitch,
As you said, you changed the password for the Notes ID file. Please check if there was a request in the admin4.nsf "Change User Password in Domino Directory" that has been processed on your Domino administration server. This process will update the password digest field in the person document.
Also check the last password change date, it shows when you open the person document of the administrator account in the Domino directory (names.nsf).
Thank you

Hi Shrikant,
I did checked the AdminP and found that there is a request created for the change password. But the lastpasswordchange date in the person document of the Administrator is not changed. Its still shows last year.
Hello Tatstitch,
Has the request in admin4.nsf been processed on your Domino administration server?. What is the status of the request "Change User Password in Domino Directory"?.
If you want to quickly resolve the issue, you can edit the person document, clear the password digest, and issue the below command on the server console.
load updall -t ($Users) names.nsf -R
After this you can try logging to the administrator account, it should allow.
Thank you

Hi Tatstitch,
Alternatively you can clear the password digest in Person document which essentially stores old passwords. Once you clear it and save the Person document, then you will not get this error message. Another option is to use the latest ID file (if you have it on another machine and copy it) and then it will allow you to login with the latest password of that ID file.
Thank you.
