ID Vault rocks!

Do you like the user ID?
Other day when I was giving a training of Domino Administration 8 for some business partners, one of them had experience in release 6.
After explaining and showing the basis of Domino security, including of course the user ID, and the process for recovery an ID or reset a password he said me: "argh! Why don't they get rid of the user ID?! I thought that in this release the ID would be gone!"

That was on release 8. On 8.5 we have an option now!
The ID still here, but we have the ID vault!!!

Many administrators had a huge question the answer when they create an user: "What can I do with the ID? Where to backup it?". If you store it at your hard drive or a DB, you low down your security level.

Now you can manage your IDs with the ID Vault and even have your users to reset their password their selves! Without the help of the administrator but with all the Domino security!

On my next post I'll explain how to use the ID Vault...
