Quickr installation authentication issue hacks and resolutions


Tags :


The error uncovered by myself and John Roling (Greyhawk68) is that upon a fresh, new, virgin Quickr 8 installation, you could not log in ad the admin account specified during setup.  It was guaranteed that the name was not in the directory, but it would not let me log in.  SSO worked fine as I was even able to log in as my name.

After some friendly cajoling to Rob Novak, I dug deep and found that the notes.ini variable for the Quickr admin name did not match the name in the LotusQuickr\LotuysQuickr\Admin.nsf database.  The very place you had to authenticate.  I even ran the qptool to change the admin password incase I mistyped it originally, no go.  Modifying the notes.ini variable to match the database ACL, creating a group to match the database ACL for the QuickPlaceSuperUser group and then adding the administrator group to that as a subgroup worked great.  I was able to log in as myself, change the directory, security and Sametime settings and it seems Quickr is flying high on our internal server.

Oh yes, do not forget to also do the technote changes for fixes for Quickr already.
