Change of hide-when formula for HTTPPassword field in Domino Directory
In Domino 7 the HTTPPassword field in the Domino Directory has been changed from an editable to a computed when composed field which doesn't allow you to edit its value. From a security standpoint this is great but it does make it more difficult to change the password to a known value to test authorization issues. Previously, since the field was editable, you could simply cut the users current password to a text file, paste your known password and test away. Once done you would paste the users password back in. Simple and easy.
Of cause one could always modify the design of the Domino Directory to revert to the old style or implement it as an agent.
