LOCATIONS AND ACCOUNTS

Creating and editing accounts from the Notes preference
Accounts provide the information needed by components to connect to servers. In IBM® Notes®, accounts enable you to connect to an IBM Domino® server or IBM WebSphere® Portal server. Accounts are secured by a name, password, authentication server and authentication type. Preferences enable you to create, edit, or delete certain accounts.

Typically an administrator creates accounts for users by configuring Domino user policy settings. However, as a user and based on your policy settings, you can change, edit, or delete certain account types using the Accounts preferences panel. For example, you can create a new account and establish a name, description, account type, and associated server for that account.
