GW6 - Users being prompted for password when none set

[Cleo02]

Client: GroupWise 5.5 and GroupWise 6
Post Offices: GroupWise 6
Domain: GroupWise 6

Suddenly I am getting a number of reports that GroupWise is prompting users for passwords when previously there was no password.

Trouble-shooting steps so far:
Checked client options at the domain level to make sure Allow NDS Authentication was not enabled;
Checked client options at the post office levels to make sure Allow NDS Authentication was not enabled;
Had users try their Network passwords (this did not work);
Checked novell site for information, couldn't find any

I have been manually resetting these passwords but it is happening at a number of sites across the country and I am not sure why.

We are currently rolling out GroupWise 6 clients to our sites (some are already up and running others are not). I'm not convinced this is related, but I am at a loss why we are experiencing these problems.

In GroupWise View, go into the Details of the Post Office and look for a setting called "Default Security Level". If this setting is set to HIGH, then it is mandatory that all GroupWise Users have a password. If this setting is set to low, a password will not be required.

Good Luck!
