Carefully review limitations that might be applicable to your
environment
Before you deploy Notes Shared Login, it is very important to to review the conditions under which it will
work but also the ones under which it will not work.
Notes Shared Login is not supported if you have Notes IDs that are:
• Used on Mac or Linux clients
•
Protected by smartcards
• Protected by multiple passwords
• Used by roaming users - roaming users who roam their IDs cannot use Notes Shared Login.
• Used with Notes on a USB drive
• Used in a Citrix environment
• With Windows mandatory profiles
• Stored on network shares - the IDs can be used only from the computers on which shared login is
activated.
• Enabled for password checking/expiration (unless all servers are 8.5+) - the "Check password on
Notes ID file" security setting is not supported. Domino servers ignore this setting for IDs enabled
for shared login. If you use pre-8.5 Domino servers, the setting should be disabled for users with
these IDs.
• Used with Notes to Internet password synchronization - If Notes users were synchronizing Internet
passwords with Notes passwords in an earlier release, they must now begin managing their
Internet passwords.
• Notes Shared Login enabled ID cannot be imported into mail file for DWA/Blackberry access
(create password protected copy to import)
Do not install Client Single Logon component
If you plan to use Notes Shared Login, you must not select "Client Single Logon Feature" during the
installation. If it's already installed, it must be uninstalled first during the upgrade process to 8.5 before
enabling Notes Shared Login.
