To create or enforce security settings for HCL iNotes® users, you must create a security policy settings document.

About this task

Although there are other security policy settings that can be created for HCL Notes® users, the settings here are applicable to iNotes security, and the explanations in the following table describe how these settings affect iNotes users.

Procedure

1. Make sure that you have Editor access to the Domino® Directory and one of these roles:

• PolicyCreator role to create a settings document
• PolicyModifier role to modify a settings document

3. Click Add Settings, and then choose Security.

4. On the tabs listed in the following tables, complete these fields:

Table 1. Password Management Basics tab

Setting	Description
Allow users to change Internet password over HTTP	This setting determines whether the iNotes user preference Change Internet Password displays: Yes (default) - allows users to use a Web browser to change their Internet passwords. iNotes users use the Change Internet Password preference to do so. No - the user preference Change Internet Password will not display.
Update Internet Password When Notes Client Password Changes	For iNotes users, this setting determines whether there will be one user preference Change Password, instead of two preferences, Change Notes ID and Change Internet Password. If there is only one preference, the Notes ID password in the mail file is updated when the Internet password is changed. Choose one: No (default) -- User preferences include both Change Notes ID and Change Internet Password user preferences, and the user must change both. Yes -- Synchronizes the user Internet password with the iNotes client password. User preferences include only the Change Password preference, which is used to change both passwords.
Enforce password expiration	If you enable password expiration for any of the options, the security settings document defaults change. Choose one: Disabled (default) - disables password expiration. If you disable password expiration, do not complete the remaining fields in this section. HCL Notes only - enables password expiration for Notes passwords only. For iNotes users, this enables expiration for the Notes ID stored in the user's mail file. Internet only - enables password expiration for Internet passwords only. Notes and Internet -- enables password expiration for both Notes and Internet passwords. For iNotes users, it enables expiration for both the Notes ID stored in the user's mail file and for the Internet password. Note: Internet password expiration settings are recognized only by the HTTP protocol. This means that Internet passwords can be used indefinitely with other Internet protocols, such as LDAP or POP3. Note: Do not enable password expiration if users use Smartcards to log in to Domino servers.
Required password quality	If you require users to create passwords based on password quality, specify that quality by choosing a value from the drop-down list. To use length instead of password quality, continue to the next field. For iNotes users, password quality settings are enforced when the Notes ID is stored in the user's mail file and the password is changed via iNotes user preferences.
Use length instead	If you require users to create passwords based on length, click Yes. When you do, the Required Password Quality field changes to Required password length. Specify the minimum password length here. For iNotes users, password quality settings are enforced when the Notes ID is stored in the user's mail file and the password is changed via iNotes user preferences.




Table 2. Custom Password Policy tab

Setting	Description
Change Password on First Notes Client Use	Require users to change their passwords the first time they log in using Notes. For iNotes, users must change the embedded Notes ID password before using it the first time. Note: This works only if the policy is applied during user registration.




Table 3. Keys and Certificates tab

Setting	Description
Warning period	Specify the number of days prior to certificate expiration at which the user Warning period receives an expiration warning message.




Table 4. Proxies tab (click Edit List to view these fields)

Setting	Description
Context	The path of the request to the proxy server, specifies which proxy the rule is for. Examples include: xsp/proxy/GoogleProxy xsp/proxy/BasicProxy
URL	Address of the site to which this policy applies. This is the target of the proxy.
Actions	The set of HTTP actions this policy allows. These can be GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE. The most frequently used are GET and POST.
Cookies	Cookies allowed for this site. That is, the cookies that will be passed from the browser to the target URL server. Note: Cookies with specified names will always be proxied to this site. In addition, any incoming (Set-Cookie response headers) received from the site will also be remembered and eventually sent back on subsequent requests to this site.
Mime-types	Content types allowed back from the target server, or use * to allow all.
Headers	Headers allowed for this site, or use * to allow all. This attribute determines which headers are forwarded to the target server. Note: Cookies are not handled as a standard header. Putting the entry "cookie" in the headers list will have no effect.
