New version of 14.5 and 14.0 FP2 has new Notes.ini parameter which is always interesting.
If it address old problem, then even better.

If you use protection from Brute Force there is a new check box starting from V10, to block also IP address from which request is coming.  In case of Direct access it works, if you are connected via Balancer or someone will try to login to Sametime, that is binded by LDAP to Domino, then Sametime IP will be blocked.

So in this scenario, we all were forced to disable this feature, while there is a good idea behind.

Now we have a solution, You have to add all your systems, like public WiFI IP, Sametime IP, all other known systems and enable this parameter, it will whitelist then these IP and will never block.

Again this is new only for 14.0 FP2 and 14.5.

SPR# MOBNCY2KBG - Server - LDAP - Added a new Notes INI - LDAP_USE_HTTP_TRUSTED_IP_LIST_FOR_LOCKOUT_EXEMPTION=1 - to allow a customer to exempt certain IP addresses to avoid the issue of all users getting locked out of LDAP requests because the IP was locked out. This INI is off by default
