Installing and configuring the client software

  1. Ensure that you have access to Lotus Domino Designer and Admin applications. These will be used to work on the Domino server hosting the database.

  2. Install the Lotus Notes Client on the Bravura Security Fabric server. You will need the Notes ID file and password for the administrative account that you are going to use to connect to the Domino server with.

  3. Update the system PATH on the Bravura Security Fabric server to include the directory where the Lotus Notes Client software was installed.

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

  5. Copy the getpass.dll and psynchpwd.dll files from the util directory into the Lotus Notes Client directory that contains the nnotes.dll file. The default location is normally C:\Program Files\lotus\notes.

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

    EXTMGR_ADDINS=psynchpwd.dll

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

  7. Close any open Lotus Notes software, and restart it so that it re-loads the updated notes.ini file.

    Note

    Ensure that the Lotus Notes client is not used by human users on the Bravura Security Fabric server and that the last user to have logged in was the administrative account. Never log into Lotus Notes from the Bravura Security Fabric server using any login ID other than the one which is used by Bravura Security Fabric.
