Usage
This method is only supported on the server. If you needed to invoke this method from the Notes® Client, use RunOnServer method to invoke another agent containing method ResetUserPassword.
This method is only supported in agents.
The signer of the agent has to be an authorized password resetter, as does the server or servers on which the agent runs. To designated password resetters use Administration client tools "Create Id Vault" or "Manage Id Vault." For more information, see Domino® Administrator Help. In addition the agent signer has to have rights to run agents specified in the Programmability Section of the Security section in Domino® Directory.
The server where this agent runs should have good physical and network security. It is recommended that users are not given rights to run unrestricted methods and operations on the server in 'programmability' section of Security Tab in the Server Document. In addition all server addins should be examined for potential misuse of the server's Password Reset certificate.
