SECURING YOUR DATA
About this task
Your administrator may have given you both an IBM® Notes User ID password and a IBM Domino Web/Internet password. You use your Notes User ID password when you access Notes, Domino Designer, or Domino Administrator or any other Notes-based programs that require a Notes User ID for access. You use a Domino Web/Internet password to access a Notes database through a Web browser, for example your Notes mail (if it is configured to be accessible through a browser) or a Domino Web application.
If your administrator has not enabled password synchronization, you can disable your administrator's ability to enable the ability for you to synchronize your passwords at a later time.
Note: If you use a Smartcard to login to Notes or if your User ID is protected by multiple passwords, Domino Web/Internet password synchronization is not supported.
To synchronize (or unsynchronize) your Notes and Domino Web/Internet password
This procedure is available to you only if your administrator has enabled your ability to synchronize your passwords. When you synchronize passwords, you use your Notes password for access.
Procedure
1. Click File -> Security -> User Security (Macintosh OS X users: Notes -> Security -> User Security).
2. Click Security Basics.
3. Select or deselect "Always set Domino Web/Internet password to match Notes password (reduces security)" under "Your Login and Password Settings." (This option is only visible in User Security if your administrator has enabled your ability to synchronize your passwords.)
4. Re-authenticate with your Notes server to enable synchronization. Use your Notes password next time you login to a Web browser, Notes client, or a Notes-based program.
By doing this procedure, you are preventing your administrator from being able to turn on password synchronization for you. If your administrator decides to enable synchronization at a later time, your password synchronization option will be disabled unless you enable it yourself (you can enable it by following the procedure above).
This procedure is available to you only if your administrator has not enabled password synchronization.
3. Select "Don't let administrator set Domino Web/Internet password to match Notes password" under "Your Login and Password Settings." (This option is only visible in User Security if your administrator has not enabled your ability to synchronize your passwords.)
