Security Policy issue Notes 9.0 SocialEdition

  • Category: Notes Client
  • Platform: Windows
  • Release: 9.0
  • Role: Administrator,Developer,End User
  • Tags: Policy,Security,Policies,Shared Login,Sametime
  • Replies: 7

We are using Shared Logon for all our users. But now when installing the IBM Social Edition 9.0 (non beta version) it stopped working (Beta version worked fine with Shared Logon).
This setting amongst other settings is enabled via security and desktop setting policy documents on a Domino 8.5.3 server.

Various policy settings has been applied to the fresh install of 9.0 (like Managed Replica, etc) but not the Shared Logon security setting.

In addition to this issue there where also Sametime settings that are no longer working like AutoLogin.

The settings for Shared Login and Sametime are still working nicely for users with 8.5.3 clients.

(print screens can be provided).

Thanks!

Questions for Rasmus: RE: Security Policy issue Notes 9.0 SocialEdition
Hello and thank you for the quick installation of Social Edition.

A couple of requests to start:

  • Post a screenshot of the User Security Panel - Security Basics tab for an affected user
  • Post a screenshot of  the policy in  Security Settings - Password Management - Notes Shared Login
  • Use Admin client to get a Policy Synopsis for affected user
  • How does this fail?  Does the user get a password prompt?  Then what?
  • For an affected user, in their PNAB, look in the hidden view $Policies, open the effective policy for the user - specifically one of the security settings - and screen shot the value NSLon and NSLAllow
Thanks,

Kevin Lynch (Domino Security Dev)

Hi Kevin,

What happens is that the user gets prompted to login with the ID password, an password not updated since the day we turned on Shared Logon. (so no-one remembers this password (issue number one)).

When ID password is located and entered then the user gets instructed to change the password (as it's to old). And after that the client uses the standard Notes-ID/Password logon routine instead of sing the MS AD password and not prompting which is how the policy is set on the server.

Thank you for your quick response!

Check the policy - the local policy does not match with server policy
Hi Rasmus,
Thanks for the information. It appears from the screenshots that the user's local policy is not matching up with the policy on the server. (NSLOn and NSLAllow in the local pnab do not match the values in the policy synopsis.)
Is this a complete new install, or an upgrade over an existing copy of Notes?

Can you double check that the policies at the admin server and the user's home mail server are correct and match? You can compare the actual policies and/or the policy synopsis for an affected user from both servers.

Another thing to try is to have an affected user authenticate to their home server (by opening a database on the home server listed in their location document) to get the current policy. Check if the NSLOn and NSLAllow values are updated in the local pnab.

Hi,

Please read my answers below:


Thanks for the information. - My pleasure :)

It appears from the screenshots that the user's local policy is not matching up with the policy on the server. (NSLOn and NSLAllow in the local pnab do not match the values in the policy synopsis.)
Is this a complete new install, or an upgrade over an existing copy of Notes? - This is a completely new installation with all traces of the old beta client removed before installing the new version.

Can you double check that the policies at the admin server and the user's home mail server are correct and match? You can compare the actual policies and/or the policy synopsis for an affected user from both servers.

- It's the same server.

Another thing to try is to have an affected user authenticate to their home server (by opening a database on the home server listed in their location document) to get the current policy. Check if the NSLOn and NSLAllow values are updated in the local pnab.

- I've done that 100 times now, running ndyncfg.exe repeatedly, opening the NAB on the server multiple times and restarting the client. I still have the same issue as before. Again, nothing is changed on my ID or OU or on the Policy documents on the server between the installations. (Added to that, I'm the only on our server who get prompted the password question each morning, so clearly something is very wrong).

Thank you for following up!

More information
Hi Rasmus,

At this point, it is difficult for us to guess or troubleshoot the issue without more config/debug data. This was tested and we are unable to reproduce the issue.


Can you gather and send the following information? nkho@us.ibm.com


Turn on console logging, enable debug_dynconfig=1 and debug_policy=1 on your client, restart, and access the home mail server.  Send us your console log,  pnab and a stripped down copy of the NAB with just the policy settings.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you. It actually resolved itself when I did an update of my Windows password.

You can close the case.

Rasmus
