The Notes Extension DLL
The Notes Extension DLL (psns.dll) is triggered by open and close events in the Lotus Notes client. It ensures that both the ID file on a user’s workstation and in the Bravura Security Fabric repository are current. The DLL is also responsible for the initial registration of Notes ID files in the Bravura Security Fabric repository.
Install the Notes Extension DLL on each workstation using a Windows Installer package (psns.msi). See Installing client components to learn how to do this.
Prior to performing the initialization procedure, ensure that you can access Bravura Pass using Internet Explorer.
Once the Notes Extension DLL is installed, the user must perform the following initialization procedure:
Log in to the workstation.
Open up Lotus Notes.
When Lotus Notes is launched for the first time it creates the user’s configuration file (notes.ini).
Close Lotus Notes.
Log out of the workstation.
Log back into the workstation.
Logging back into the workstation triggers a Notes Extension DLL program that modifies the user’s notes.ini file, so that Lotus Notes will load the psns.dll when it is launched.
The purpose of the initialization procedure is to force the creation of the user’s configuration file and to modify it so that Lotus Notes will load the psns.dll when it is launched. Once the user’s notes.ini file is initialized, the Notes Extension DLL manages ID files as follows:
