Set common password on user synchronization Click to set a new password when you synchronize users. The password will be used as the Windows and Notes Internet password. The Notes User ID password does not change.
This field is active only if the "User/group synchronization" check box is selected.

Prompt for all operations - prompt prior to initiating all synchronization operations.
Prompt only for user/group deletions - prompts only when deleting users or groups.
