I think you've hit a 'known issue' in the MS DPAPI

The Notes Shared Login feature uses the MS Data Protection API (DPAPI) to encrypt/decrypt information which allows access to a notes id. The error from your posting below (0x8009000B) is defined as "Key not valid for use in specified state." and is being returned by a DPAPI function. You mentioned above that your system was added to a Windows Domain. You've likely run into the following issue:


You Cannot Access DPAPI Confidential Information After Joining or Disjoining a Domain
If you have joined a stand-alone computer to a domain and you have lost access to DPAPI data, you can restore access by logging on as the local user. To log on as a local user on a domain-joined computer, click the local computer's name in the dropdown box in the Logon dialog box, and then enter your local user name and password.

If you have disjoined a computer from a domain, you must rejoin the domain and then log on as the same domain user to regain access to your files.

Please try the recommended steps above to see if that resolves your issue.
