Resetting the password on an ID in a vault
You can reset the password on an active ID in a vault if you have password reset authority for the ID. For example, reset a password if a user has forgotten it.
About this task
The user should use the new password when logging into Notes® from any client. To do so, the client must be able to connect to the network to communicate with the vault. After providing the new password, the user will be prompted to change the password again if Enforce password change after password has been reset is set to Yes (the default setting) in the ID Vault tab of the Security Settings document of the user's effective policy.
Note: If the Check password on Notes id file option is enabled in a user
policy, add the notes.ini setting IDV_RESETPASSWORD_DIGEST=2 to the Domino® server that stores the ID vault. This setting creates an administration
process request to update the password digest in a user's Person document to match the new password
entered. Only ID files with this password digest can access the server after the administration
process request is processed.
