Support for changing only the HTTP/Internet password of a user
The HTTP password of a user can be used for user authentication. In this case, the ID file of the user is not used and the password change operation is done only on the HTTP password.
To change the HTTP password
of a user, set the value of the ChangeHTTPPasswordOnly registry
key to TRUE. The default value of this registry key
is FALSE.
If the value of the ChangeHTTPPasswordOnly registry
key
is TRUE, the adapter ignores the value of the Synchronize
HTTPPassword registry
key.
The following table explains the password change functionality
depending
on the ChangeHTTPPasswordOnly and the Synchronize HTTPPassword registry
key settings.
| ChangeHTTPPasswordOnly registry key value | Synchronize HTTPPassword registry key value | Result |
|---|---|---|
| FALSE | FALSE | The adapter changes only the Notes® password of a user. |
| FALSE | TRUE | The adapter changes the Notes password and the HTTP password of a user. |
| TRUE | FALSE | The adapter changes only the HTTP password of a user. |
| TRUE | TRUE | The adapter changes only the HTTP password of a user. |
Note: The Lotus Notes® Adapter does
not set the timestamp for the Last password change date attribute
when you change the HTTP password of a user. The Lotus Notes API does not
support creation of an AdminP request for changing the HTTP Password
of a user.
