3. Click “Recover Password” in the “Wrong Password” dialog box.
Note: Users may need to wait a short while until the “Backup ID File”
dialog box appears.
4. Select the User ID to recover in the “Choose ID File to Recover” dialog box.
5. Enter the passwords given to the user by the administrators in the “Enter
Passwords” dialog box, and repeat until all of the passwords have been
entered and the user is prompted to enter a new password for their User ID.
6. Enter a new password for the Notes user ID and confirm it when prompted.
Attention: It should be well explained to the users that if they do not enter
a new password, they will have to recover their Notes user ID all over
again.
7. Finally, the user should replace all backups of their Notes user ID, and copies
of their Notes user ID that they are using, with the newly recovered Notes
user ID.
The Notes ID and Password Recovery setup and procedure may seem quite
complex and laborious. However, it’s important to consider the following:
► Once set up and once the procedure is established, it is quite straightforward
and simple and can be explained quickly to users.
► It is considerably easier for administrators to help a user recover a password
in this manner than to recreate a new Notes user ID for that user.
It can also help eliminate the habit users have of not setting complicated
passwords (which would make them good passwords) for fear of forgetting them.
11.9 Web client authentication
There are several options for authenticating Web clients who attempt to access a
Domino Web server. They include:
► Name-and-password authentication
Name-and-password authentication occurs via a simple HTTP pop-up
window prompt to the user. No HTML cookies are sent to the client, and
authentication credentials are not cached in any manner on the server.
