Re: Lotus NOTES

Most of the security issues associated with Lotus Notes is due to bad 
implementation, bad setup, and lack of well thought security policies. One 
of the most important pre-implementation tasks is to plan how to manage 
the Lotus PKI (how to create and manage the certifier IDs, how to 
distribute and manage the private keys to users, key recovery, etc.). 
Another major issue many times overlooked is to not take the default 
access control settings for server security, databases, and templates. You 
need to look at each one and adjust them as needed.  Proper planning is 
key.
