Client programs with Lotus Notes login

After users reset their passwords with Bravura Pass , they:

  1. Log out of Windows.

    This ensures that the workstation does not try to access anything on the network using an old password.

  2. Log back into Windows using their login ID and new password.

  3. Open the Lotus Notes client.

The Notes Extension DLL then downloads the new ID file from the repository in Bravura Security Fabric to the workstation.

In some cases, it may be necessary to download the new ID file before users log back into Windows. This allows programs launched at startup to access the new ID file.

For example, the Blackberry Manager (client), launched through the Startup Tasks folder, prompts users for their Lotus Notes password before they have a chance to open the Lotus Notes client. As a result, users cannot login to the Blackberry Manager using their new password.

To ensure that client programs with Lotus Notes login have access to the most current ID file at startup, you can install the Notes Extension EXE (psns.exe) on each workstation. This program executes during log off, checks if a new ID file exists in the Bravura Security Fabric repository, and downloads the new ID file to the workstation. When users log back into Windows, their ID file is already in place.

You install the Notes Extension EXE, along with Notes Extension DLL, on each workstation using the psns.msi installer package. See Installing client components to learn how to do this.
