Lotus Notes ID File Synchronization for Control-SA

Control SA provides the user a facility to change passwords using Passport, which works in conjunction with Enterprise Security Station. Passport provides a web-based interface to the users to change the password. Once the password is changed via Passport, it will be updated on all platforms where the respective user accounts exist.

Lotus Notes uses ID Files to store the authentication credentials of a user account. These ID Files can be detached and copied to other machines also. But Control SA requires Lotus Notes ID Files to be stored in a central repository. In a scenario where Lotus Notes ID Files exists on the local machines of the respective users, the ID File on the local machine has to be synchronized with the one on the central repository once the password is changed. 

The ID File sync solution from ILANTUS aims to address the issue of Notes ID file distribution to end users desktop when any changes are done to the user attributes using CONTROL-SA. The solution is developed in Java and consists of modules that run on the CONTROL-SA/PassPort Server, CONTROL-SA Agent for Lotus Notes Machine and the end users desktop. The solution when deployed will aid in automatically updating the local ID file on the end-user's desktop with the latest ID file from the central repository.
