Lotus Notes and IBM's SSO/EIM framework

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I went to a ton of good sessions at Common in Chicago last month that dealt
with IBM's very impressive SSO/EIM framework (hats off to Pat Botz, Thomas
Barlen, and John Taylor) and am now starting to sketch out how we might go
about putting a solution into place.  One thing I learned from the sessions
was that Lotus Notes doesn't directly integrate with SSO/EIM, but that the
password on the Notes ID file can be tied to the Windows login via the
"Login to Notes using your operating system login" feature.  This would be
an acceptable approach, even though it's somewhat of a workaround (i've
been using it on my PC for a while, anyway).

Today, while investigating the "Login to Notes using your operating system
login" feature within a Citrix/Terminal Server environment, I found from
Lotus support that this feature isn't supported in a Citrix/TS environment.
It's an enhancement request, but doesn't have any implementation date at
this point (so I won't hold my breath on it...)  This immediately puts a
big damper on whether we will even pursue the solution now (Notes is one of
our 2 or 3 major apps).

I'm looking for any thoughts on the situation and to see if anyone has a
similar situation... to me, it seems like a major sticking point that
IBM/Lotus should be able to resolve.

Thanks in advance...
