Description
Notes shared log-in allows users to start Lotus Notes and use their Notes ID, without having to provide Notes passwords. Instead, users only need to log into Microsoft Windows using their Windows password. Unlike the Lotus Notes Single Log-in feature in earlier releases, Domino 8.5 does not use the Windows password for the Notes ID file. Instead, it stores a secure token used to unlock the Notes ID file in a secure way, provided by an external mechanism. Domino 8.5 uses a Windows mechanism, so the secure token will only be accessible by users who have logged into Windows.
Audience
This exercise is for system administrators who are preparing to use the ID Vault.
