Lotus Notes ID Certificate expiration notification

Tags: Lotus

We all know that users will happily click away those warnings that start appearing when their ID's about 90 days from expiration, until they're finally locked out of the server, which is when they will annoy/call IT to complain.

To pre-empt this I've created an agent that would send out an email notifying staff when users are within 7 days of expiration, allowing enough time to re-certify these users in the address book, which will push the new certificate to the users the next time they log on.

This code uses a view in the domino directory that was introduced with R6, so for R5 you'd have to either add that view to your Domino directory, or rewrite the agent using the suggestion from Bill Buchan & Roh Holder.
