Preparing IDs for recovery
After you specify recovery information in the certifier ID, when you register users, the user IDs automatically contain recovery information. However, if you specified recovery information after generating user IDs, users must update their user IDs with recovery information supplied by the administrator. Updating IDs with recovery information automatically sends an encrypted backup of the user ID to the centralized mail or mail-in database.
Before you begin
About this task
There are two ways that users can update their user IDs with recovery information:
- (Only for Domino® 6 servers and later) Users authenticate to their home server after an administrator has added recovery information to the certifier. The recovery information is automatically added to their Notes® ID.
- The administrator sends recovery information to users to incorporate into their user IDs. You must complete these steps before a user loses or damages an ID or forgets a password.
Users can determine whether recovery information is present in their user ID by seeing whether the Mail Recovery ID button on the User Security dialog box is active. They can then click the button to send an encrypted backup of the user ID to the centralized mail or mail-in database.
