XFOR: Notes Application Connector Prompts for Password with Password Option Set

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

After you configure the Microsoft Exchange Application Connector for Lotus Notes, the connector continues to prompt for the password of the Lotus Notes ID, even though you have configured the password in the "Set Notes Password" option through the Administrator program of the Application Connector.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the Lotus Notes database is not a "Local" database.

WORKAROUND

1. On the server running the Application Connector, start the Notes Client.



2. Create a new replica of the Notes Server database locally.



3. Configure replication between the Notes Server and new local replica of the database file.



4. Run the Application Connector against the new local replica database.



5. Do not use a password on the Notes ID file.



6. Run the Application Connector from the Notes Server that contains the database that will be replicated to Exchange Server.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.
