I agree with the Guest comments about this. There is a need for better controlling access to and use of Notes ID's.
I wonder though if not the "Check passwords on Notes IDs" on the "Security" pane on the server document in combination with the "Check password" option on the person documents could help - at least some part of the way, it would solve the "issue" that it's not the server that authenticates the user as Thomas Hampel made clear. It is cumbersome to use and very inflexible, I know. Bbeen there, Done that, Got the picture ;-) But if HCL would give it a little love (it is after all a very old solution) and bring it into the 21st. century I think it could work. Maybe combine it with the ID vault somehow?
Nevertheless, this is a very important need in terms of security requirements in large corporations.
This is implemented in the asset directory and, accordingly, in Microsoft EXCHANGE.
I am not saying that this should be done in this way, but setting up a block to enter to the Notes with a few incorrect password entries should be avoided.
The password for the Notes client does not authenticate the user against the server - it does unlock the local notes.id file. So lockout mechanism can not work as suggested.
