RE: How to force all users to change their password? ~Mario Lopkistergon 12.Nov.03 05:35 PM a Web browser Domino Administrator 6.0.1All Platforms
I am not sure what you were reading, but here is what I was able to grab from
the documentation. And I quote:
i><b>Required change intervals and grace periods</b><br><BR>
You can set up a server to verify users' passwords during authentication
without requiring them to change their passwords. If you require password
changes, you can specify a grace period that indicates how long after the
change interval expires before users are locked out of the server. If a
required change interval expires before the user changes the password, the user
can't authenticate with servers that require password verification until the
user creates a new password. If a grace period expires and the user still
hasn't changed the password, the user can't authenticate until the
administrator manually deletes the data in the Password digest field in the
Person document and the user creates a new password.<BR><BR>
If an unauthorized user changes the password on an ID before the authorized
owner of the ID does, the authorized owner can't authenticate and sees this
message:<BR>
You have a different password on another copy of your ID file and you must
change the password on this copy to match.
In this case, delete the entry in the Password digest field, and ask the
authorized user to log on immediately and enter a new password.
Note that required change intervals and grace periods do not apply to Internet
passwords that are used by Internet clients.<BR></I>]
To me, it says I can force users to change passwords and continue to do so with
an interval. If they don't they are locked out of the server. This feature
has been in place from R5 and the documentation is practically the same in R6.
