Lotus Notes 6.0.1 and Active Directory Integration

[Bluecrack]

I posted this in the Lotus Notes/Notes forum but thought I would post here too.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the following.

We running Active Directory with Exchange 2000 and are being forced to migrate to Lotus Notes. Luckily we are moving to 6.0.1. However one of the problems we see is that Notes has 2 seperate passwords. An internet password used for webmail and IMAP/POP access and a 2nd password regular Notes clients. This causes a real problem for us with our password policy (everything is based on our Active Directy [AD] user). According to the Release Notes there is a way to synchronize the Notes users with Active Directory users so passwords can be changed in Active Directory and the change will be propogated to Notes. Has anyone had any experience doing this? Or can you tell me where to find the documentation on setting this up?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Sorry I can't find the origninal in the notes forum

I would like it if domino would make a schema change so all the user info stuff was in AD but I dought we can hope for this - maybe notes 7???

Having and option to store all the Domino user/group information in Active Directory would be great. Maintaining multiple directories is time consuming and error prone.

Hi,

The AD and W2000 is to un-secure for IBM to store Domino data in. Everybody can hack it.

Integration is possible however and all user information is stored in Domino and synchronized in AD.

All other AD stuff is only present in AD.
