Reattach user id to the person document in the public address book

Hi Yolanda-Obenour,

I wouldnt be keen on doing this as you are opening your self to a potential security risk.  If you want to move away from using the ID file you should move towards using the CA (Certificate Authority) when creating and authenticating users

Take a look at :

Cheers!

Other methods include writing your own registration program  tat stores the iDs for you and allows easily sending out the information as needed, but with Notes level security.

I think that there may be some samples in the LDD sanbox

I hope this helps !

Well to clarify we need the ID's added to the Organizations Domino Directory. This would be for users that were registered under previous versions of Notes(version 4 and 5), if their machines crash or whatever we want to be able to setup the user again without having to use their .ID file. Just have the user type in their name and it finds it in the domino directory..



hope this helps.

I would not recommend this practice.

It has security issues since I think anyone can get the ID files and try to crack them.

Not a good practice. Ids should be protected from all access and stored only in a secure place with only Admn access.

I hope this helps !

No, that didnt help at all.

anyone else?
