When passwords on Notes® client IDs become different from the passwords on the IDs in the ID vault, synchronization of ID information between clients and the ID vault stops. You can enable automatic restarting of synchronization when the passwords get out of sync. You can use the Query Vault console command or the Domino Administrator to monitor and manage ID synchronization.

About this task

Note: You can disable this feature by adding the following setting to the server notes.ini file: IDV_ENABLE_VAULT_SCAN=0.

Enabling automatic restart of ID file synchronization
When a password on a Notes client ID doesn't match the password on the ID in the vault, ID synchronization between the client and the vault fails. When ID synchronization fails, changes made to the client ID, such as the addition of new encryption keys, are not changed in the ID in the vault. You can enable automatic archiving of ID vault user documents when this situation occurs for longer than seven days. Archiving renames the ID vault user documents, allowing ID files on clients to be uploaded again to the ID vault. This ensures that the most recent information stored in the local ID file is stored in the ID in the vault.

Monitoring ID synchronization
Use the Query Vault (qvault) console command or the Domino Administrator to update Person documents with the last successful ID synchronization time. Also use qvault to archive user vault documents manually to restart ID synchronization and to manage archived user vault documents.
