Managing Notes IDs

You can reset Notes ID passwords, set Notes ID password expiration, and synchronize Notes ID passwords with service login passwords.

  • Resetting passwords for Notes IDs
    Reset the password on an IBM® Notes® ID file to change the current password. Typically you do this because a user has forgotten the current password.
  • Setting password expiration for Notes IDs
    For users who access the service with the IBM Notes client, you can specify when Notes ID passwords expire. This password expiration does not apply to web users because they log in using their web login password rather than a Notes ID password.
  • Enabling password synchronization
    When users change their service login passwords, password synchronization enables the users to use the new passwords when they log in to the IBM Notes client.
  • Notes IDs and passwords
    When users connect to their mail servers in the cloud with IBM Notes clients and Notes IDs, they are authenticated using Notes Remote Procedure Call (NRPC) authentication.
  • Limitations when Notes IDs are not in the vault
    There are advantages to using and storing IBM Notes ID files in a vault in the service. All Notes client users have a Notes ID, which is automatically uploaded to the vault at some point after the client connects to the service. Users who will not use a Notes client to access the service are not a required to have a Notes ID. However, these users are limited if they do not have a Notes ID in the service vault.
