MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Generating random passwords during migration
For user registration to complete successfully, the password specified for the user must meet the minimum password quality requirements set in the registration preferences. If a user's password does not conform to the requirements, you must modify it before you can register the user.

For more information about how Notes determines conformance to a specified password quality scale, see the topic The password quality scale.

By default, Domino Upgrade Services that import passwords automatically set the Notes password to a user's existing password. Domino Upgrade Services for Windows NT and for Active Directory do not import a user's existing password.

Domino Upgrade Services provide the following options to automatically create passwords for migrating users who either do not have passwords or for whom you prefer not to import existing passwords:


Users for whom you create new Notes passwords can change their password using the Notes client. The password they create must conform to the quality scale set at registration.

Giving passwords to new users

To make it easy for you to give migrated users their new passwords the first time they log in to Notes, the Domino Administrator maintains a record of generated passwords. Password information for migrated users is stored in the database NTSynch45.nsf in the Notes Data directory.

You can also maintain a record of generated user passwords by setting a registration option to keep successfully registered users in the queue. Keeping users in the registration queue after registration lets you automatically store password and other registration information for migrated users. After registration, you can select users in the queue and view their password information.

For information about how to keep users in the registration queue, see the topic Saving pending registrations in the registration queue.
