Lotus Notes Integration

An  observed issue with the SharePoint / Notes connector.

When an Index server is configured to crawl a Notes Database there are times when the crawl does not happen.  The error observed is - "Notes://chbsapha/ch/...b047deb0c125725f003059dd?sc=0 The security descriptor for this item only contained built-in access control entries. The built-in ACEs have to be removed because they won't be valid for this item during queries"

This happens because the the Notes protocol Handler fails to do an index if "-Default-" account  has "No Access" to the NSF DB(Notes database)

The workaround is to do the following :

1. Open the mappings view (view that you created in the mappings table that has the notes user id and windows user id column) in Domino designer.
2. Set the notes user id column to be in sorted order (either ascending or descending).
3. Start a full crawl.
