Notes and Port Replicators

[jthiessen]

Here is a fun one.

Lotus Notes will authenticate the user if they are connected to their port replicator. However, if they are not plugged in, the password is rejected.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the authentication handled locally through the .id file? Anyone seen this or know a workaround? Having a mobile laptop user that needs his port replicator to access email kinda defeats the purpose of mobility.

Any help appreciated.

Is your user on R6? The reason I ask is because I have noticed some issues with the OS/Notes login synch. If this is enabled, Notes will synch the Notes login with the OS, and if the user removes his laptop from the dock, he might be losing the Notes session. Might not make sense, but it could be worth it to look into this area in more detail. Hope this helps.
