SECURITY

Providing additional security for Internet passwords
When you enter an Internet password and save the Person document, Domino automatically one-way encrypts the Internet password field. To improve password security for users who access Domino 4.6 or higher servers, use the more secure password format.

You can upgrade the password format for Person documents that already exist or automatically use the more secure password format for all Person documents that you create.

For existing Person documents

1. From the Domino Administrator, click People & Groups, and select the Person documents that you want to upgrade to a more secure password format.

2. Choose Actions - Upgrade to More Secure Internet Password Format.

3. Click Yes.

For new Person documents

1. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration, and select All Server Documents.

2. Choose Actions - Edit Directory Profile.

3. Select Yes in the "Use more secure Internet passwords" field.

4. Save and close the document.

Note The more secure password format is required if you choose to synchronize a user's Internet password with their Notes password.
