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.

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.
