Lotus Domino Administrator 6.5 Help - Creating a registration policy settings document

USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Creating a registration policy settings document
If you include a registration policy settings document in a policy, when you register users, many registration settings are filled in for you. If you use an organizational policy, when you register users with the corresponding certifier ID, that policy is automatically applied. If you use an explicit policy, you select the policy during registration.

For more information on Notes user registration settings, see the topic Using Advanced Notes User Registration with the Domino Administrator.

To create registration settings

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

2. From the Domino Administrator, select the People & Groups tab, and then open the Settings view.

3. Click "Add Settings," and then choose Registration.

After users authenticate with their home servers, password quality is governed by security settings.

Set Internet password Check the "Set Internet password" check box to set the password that is stored in each user's Person document. This password gives users access to Internet services. If you are a service provider, you must complete this field.

5. If you are setting up roaming users, choose "Roaming User," and then complete these fields. If you are a service provider, note that “Roaming User” is not supported for hosted organizations.

Mail server Choose the server that stores the user’s mail file.

If your organization supports DOLS, choose a DOLS-enabled server.
