Re: Password management

Scott,

I have not recovered a password in the manner that you described, with a 
new user install.  Do you have many user id's that you need to setup under 
your new policies?

One of the ways is to recreate the user account. 

You could open the recovery database and save the desired user name as 
username.id.  (you have to name the user.)  Log off the your client and 
log back into it using the id just saved. 

When prompted for password, click cancel and then select the Recover 
Password

>From there, use the 16 digit password generated by id recovery.

When you get in, you will be promoted to change the password.

I know that this is nasty step that's why I would just recreate the user, 
saving their mail database.

Re: Password management











Rich,

An installation of a new Notes Client, on a PC with a new user that I 
don't
know there password. The only ID file I have for this user is the one that
is in the password recovery database. Even if I copy the ID file to the
data directory on the new PC the initial setup of the client is asking for
a password, I try to give it the password from the ID recover box and it
says wrong password.

Thanks,

Scott,

Are you referring to the creation of a new user with the ID Recovery DB?
Or are you referring to the installation of a new user with the ID in the
mail file / floppy / location?

Re: Password management











Rich,

It doesn't seem to work on a new install, is there a way to recover the
password for a clean install if you don't have the users password?

I use the ID Recovery Database when a user decides to change their
password and then forgets what they just changed it to.  I was never
allowed to set password policies or database quotas.  Got to be real
messy.

Re: Password management






Password policy? What's that? About a year and a half ago our CEO (former
VP of IT) mandated the new policy. No password expiration at all and we
couldn't require "complex" passwords. So I'm using my Level 3 password
quality scale with minimum of 6 characters.

When I register a user I create an ID in the address book (eases client
installs), mail file (has to be there for DWA encryption/signing), and on
a mapped drive to a subfolder on my mail server's data directory.
