If you are using Domino security policies – e.g. to define password quality or password change interval - and the “Lockout ID” functionality to prevent users from accessing the Lotus Notes environment, you should pay attention to the following technote:
-> Global policy setting ignores ‘Lockout ID’ setting in Person document
From what I have tested so far it doesn’t matter whether it’s a global / organizational or explicit policy. As soon as you assign a policy including a security setting document to a user, setting the “Check password” field to “Lockout ID” has no effect and the user can still access the Domino server.
I bet there are many Domino administrators out there who wrongly trust the “Lockout ID” feature :-)
