Security
Enabling shared logon alters the ID file so that Shared Login will only work on the computer with which the
feature is activated. You cannot do an OS copy or move of the ID file between machines.
The feature relies on a windows security infrastructure specific to that machine. If you wanted to roam to
different machines, you would need to use an unaltered ID file.
Notes Shared Login-enabled IDs that are stored in a Notes ID vault can be used from more than one
Microsoft Windows computer without requiring users to make copies of the ID file, because the ID file stored
in the ID Vault are intact. To use an ID on more than one computer when a Notes ID vault is not used, a
user clicks "Copy ID" in the User Security dialog box to make a new, Notes-password-protected copy of the
ID file. When the user runs Notes using the copied ID on another computer, the user's effective policy
determines if the ID will be enabled for Notes Shared Login.
