Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Not applicable

I'm looking for some quick verification on the new Notes shared login capability in ND 8.5.

It's documented here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.notes85.help.doc/sec_nsl_desc_t.html

I understand that shared login removes the Notes password and replaces it with a new bulk key derived from a secret accessible via the Windows DPAPI.

According to the Infocenter document, "you cannot synchronize your Internet password with your Notes password because your Notes password no longer exists."

So I'd like to confirm that in ND 8.5 I have the following two options:

* Continue with the Notes Single Login Service, which isn't ideal, but if properly implemented can sync users' AD, Notes and Internet passwords. Result: 1 password.

* Move to Notes Shared Login, which eliminates the Notes ID password, but has no capability to sync the Domino Internet password. Result: 2 passwords.

Am I missing something?
