Description: Password-protects the console.

After you password-protect the console, you can not use the Load, Tell, Exit, Quit, and Set Configuration server commands or other programs that aren't run automatically through Program documents in the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Directory or through the NOTES.INI file. Console security remains in effect until you clear the password by entering a second Set Secure command with the same password.

Even if the console is password-protected, keep the server physically secure to prevent breaches of security at the operating system level.

Examples:

Set Secure abracadabra -- Password-protects the console if no password is currently in effect. In this case, the new password is "abracadabra."

Set Secure abracadabra sesame -- Changes the existing password "abracadabra" to "sesame."

Set Secure abracadabra -- If the console is already protected by a password -- in this case "abracadabra" -- entering a second Set Secure command with the same password clears the password.
