Denying Notes users access to all servers in a domain
To deny IBM® Lotus® Notes® users access to all servers in a domain, lock out their user IDs and enable password checking. When locked-out users try to access the server, IBM® Lotus® Domino® tries to verify the passwords they enter by comparing them against those stored in Person documents. Domino denies the users access because their IDs are locked out.

This procedure applies only to Notes users. It does not apply to Internet users attempting to access a Domino server.

It's better to lock out user IDs instead of adding a group to the "Not access server" field. Using ID lockout ensures that users cannot view a list of names that have been denied server access.

1. Make sure that the Administration Process is set up and that you have Editor access in the ACL of the Domino Directory.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab, and select the Person documents of users to whom you want to deny access.

3. Choose Actions - Set Password Fields, and then click Yes when prompted to continue.

4. In the "Check Notes password" field, select Lockout ID, and then click OK.
