SECURITY
Notes ID vault
The ID vault is an optional, server-based database that holds protected copies of IBM® Lotus® Notes® user IDs. An ID vault allows administrators and users to easily manage Notes user IDs. Users are assigned to a vault through policy configuration, and copies of user IDs are uploaded to a vault automatically once the policy has taken effect.
The benefits of using an ID vault include:
The ability for authorized personnel to change (reset) passwords on IDs stored in a vault when users forget them, without access to the ID files or the vault
Support for the use of a custom application to reset passwords
Easy recovery of lost or damaged user IDs
Automatic synchronization of multiple ID copies
No user involvement during ID renames
No user involvement during ID key rollover
Use of the ID vault is strongly recommended. However, the ID recovery feature from earlier releases is still supported for customers who prefer it.
