Configuring the Lotus Notes client

Update the system PATH to include the directory in which you installed the Lotus Notes client.

If you run IIS, reboot the server to ensure that the new path information is loaded.

Set the target system administrator account as the default user on the Lotus Notes client.

Choose: File > Security > Switch ID.

Copy the files getpass.dll and psynchpwd.dll from the util directory into the same directory that contains the nnotes.dll file.

For Lotus Notes version 6.x and 7.x, the default location is C:\Program Files\lotus\notes.

For Lotus Notes version 8 and 8.5, the default location is C:\Program Files\IBM\lotus\notes.

For Lotus Notes version 9, the default location is C:\Program Files\IBM\notes.

Edit the notes.ini file in that same directory. At the end of the file add this line followed by a blank line:

EXTMGR_ADDINS=psynchpwd.dll

If this line already exists, then add psynchpwd.dll to the beginning of the list (after the = symbol) and separate it from the other processes with a comma:

EXTMGR_ADDINS=psynchpwd.dll,process2.dll,process3.dll

Ensure that the permissions on the notes.ini file allow all users to read and write.

Locate nnotes.dll. Include the path to nnotes.dll in the path environment variable:

1. Open Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.

2. Click on the Path variable, under System variables, and click Edit.

3. Enter the path to nnotes.dll in the Variable value field. Be sure to separate the paths with a semicolon.

4. Click OK, then click OK again to close Environment Variables.

If the Lotus Notes client is open, close it and start it again so it re-loads the latest notes.ini file.
