USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
When you initiate a user's name change, the user may be prompted to accept or reject the name change. If the user rejects the name change, an administration request is generated that requires you to either accept the user name reverting to the original name or reject the name reverting to the original user name. The user is prompted if the user has selected the "Ask your approval before name changes" option on the Notes Name Changes dialog box.
You cannot change names associated with Internet certificates.
Note The Notes Name Changes dialog box is accessed from the File -- Security -- User Security -- Your Identity -- Your Names -- Name Changes menu item in the Notes user interface.
If the expiration date for the name change is reached and the user has not responded, an administration request is issued asking you to accept a request to retract the name change. You can then either accept the request to retract the name change, or you can reject that request. If you accept the name change retraction, the administration request for rejecting a name change are generated.
