Manage stored credentials
Lotus Connections does not create nor store user names and passwords. Instead, is uses the user credentials that already exist in your LDAP Lotus Connections does not store administrative user IDs and passwords either. It does, however, create and store references to existing administrative user credentials. You can make changes to those references.
User credentials
To change a user's password, change the password in the LDAP that you are using to store user data. Lotus Connections does not provide a method that administrators can use to change user credentials. Use the methods in place in your organization for changing user credentials. Alternatively, you can refer to the documentation provided with the LDAP that you are using. The following links go to the product documentation for the LDAP directories that are supported by Lotus Connections.
