Using Notes shared login to eliminate Notes password prompts

You should also be aware of the following characteristics of shared login:

• The shared login feature requires that you log in to Windows® on the computer and as the user used to activate the shared login feature. Otherwise, you are not be able to start Notes®.
• To copy your User ID, you must use a special procedure that adds a Notes® password to the ID.
• You are prompted for your Windows® password when you open the User Security window, or when you unlock your User ID after locking it.
• Your Windows® password can be changed at any time, either by you on your computer, or by your administrator.
• You cannot synchronize your Internet password with your Notes® password because your Notes password no longer exists.
• If you are a roaming user, you can use this feature if you leave your ID on the Windows® machine on which shared login was activated.
• If you use a Windows® roaming profile you should log in to an Active Directory domain controller from one computer at a time. If you are logged in from more than one computer, there is a possibility that Notes® may not be able to decrypt your ID file.
• You do not need to provide a Notes® password if you log into a Notes-based application .

If your Notes® ID is enabled for shared login, a dialog box is displayed if an unsuccessful login attempt is made.

Unsuccessful log-ins are rare and would most likely occur if:

• You try to log in as a different Windows® user than the one who enabled shared login for the current Notes® ID.
• You enabled shared login on a different computer, and copied the Notes® ID to this machine through the operating system rather than by using the Copy ID feature.
• The Notes® ID itself is damaged.
