Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Lotus Notes ?OpenServer Information Disclosure

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

A default behavior of Lotus Notes permits remote users to enumerate existing databases on a remote Domino (Lotus Notes) server. This information is considered sensitive, since it might reveal versions, logs, statistics, etc.

Solution: To disable this behavior open names.nsf and edit the Servers document in the Server view. From the Internet Protocols tab set 'Allow HTTP Clients to browse databases' to No.
This command doesn't affect a single database - it is a server-wide issue.

Network Security Threat Level: Medium
