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 IBMŸ LotusŸ DominoŸ 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.
