Importing IBM Notes ID files

IBM® StoredIQ® can decrypt, import, and process encrypted NSF files from IBM Lotus Domino. The feature works by comparing a list of user.id and key pairs that were imported into the system with the key values that lock each encrypted container or email. When the correct match is found, the file is unlocked with the key. After the emails or containers are unlocked, IBM StoredIQ analyzes and processes them in the usual fashion.

About this task

These use cases are supported:
  • Multiple unencrypted emails within a journaling database that was encrypted with a single user.id key
  • Multiple unencrypted emails in an encrypted NSF file
  • Multiple encrypted emails within an unencrypted NSF file
  • Multiple encrypted emails with the same or different user.id keys, contained in an encrypted NSF file
  • Encrypted emails from within a journaling database

Procedure

  1. On the primary data server, go to Administration > Configuration > Lotus Notes user administration.
  2. Click Upload a Lotus user ID file.
    1. In the dialog box that appears, click Browse, and go to a user ID file.
    2. Enter the password that unlocks the selected file.
    3. Optional: Enter a description for the file.
    4. Click OK. Repeat until the keys for all encrypted items are uploaded. When the list is compiled, you can add new entries to it.
    5. To delete an item from the list, from the Registered Lotus users screen, select the checkbox next to a user, and then click Delete. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click OK.
      Note: After you upload user IDs, restart services.
