"The user ID within Lotus notes refers to how individual users are enabled within the application. User IDs are created by the administrators and contain information about the users and security measures to ensure that only authorized users are allowed access to the application. The security measures include certificates, public and private keys, passwords, encryption keys, and SSL connections. Taken together, these elements provide a safe and secure environment for both the individual users as well as the organization's enterprise version of Lotus Notes."
