Re: New install for existing user & user.id question

["Patrick Trapp" <ptrapp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I'm sure that Robert and Chris are right on the money, but in my
defense, I read the question to say that the user.id was present on the
client machine before the configuration started.  In the scenario referred
to by Robert and Chris, there was no ID present on the client machine until
the configuration process and the ID that it brought down is a copy of the
actual ID that was created for that user.  This is not a
spontaneously-created ID that happens to allow you to access the user's
mail file -- it's their actual ID file.

When you register a new user, do you store the ID in the NAB, save a copy
of the ID somewhere else, or both?  What is your intended method of
introducing the ID file onto the client machine?

My understanding of the process is this:

If an ID exists in the NAB, during the install the client will detach the
ID file from the NAB and save it locally with the default name of user.id
-- the password associated with this ID would be the password assigned when
the user was created.

If an ID does not exist in the NAB, an ID file must be provided when the
client initially connects to the server.  If no ID file is provided during
installation, there can be no connection to the server.

Our pc guy just did a Notes Client 6.5.1 fresh install on a new pc for an
existing Notes user.

During the install a user.id was created and placed in the data directory.

Then the pc guy was finishing the install via the connection wizard.

At one point he was asked to authenticate and since the registered users'
id file didn't exist on the new pc, the user.id file (containing a default
password) was used to authenticate with the server and up came the user's
mail. We found this to be somewhat of a security issue and I would like to
know how/if the user.id file can be excluded from the install?
