Lost a password? Someone did as they searched my blog for answers
Tags :Technical
I enjoy going through Google and site searches
to see what technical information people are looking for. A bunch
of us poke fun every so often at the silly searches that hit our blog.
So a recent one came in for lost passwords
in Domino R5. If you, as an admin, have not invested the time to
implement password recovery in your organization, I would do that as soon
as practical. We could have a long winded dispute about id storage,
default passwords on id files and recovery. We might actually have
it depending on responses and feedback here and email.
But if you are doing things the right way
(this is in my eyes and darn it, this is my blog right?) then you are using
unique passwords now, storing the id files in a secure encrypted database
and have implemented password recovery. If you have ventured into
Domino 6 you might have even spent the time to migrate to the CA process.
Password recovery on certifiers are an
entirely different matter, I realize that. I am strictly speaking
of user id files. As for the Google search, you could attempt to
use one of the brute force tools on the Internet that can be downloaded,
but invest the time to also stop this from occurring in the future. So
do we need to discuss where and how to store id files?
