    Most of the security issues associated with Lotus Notes is due to bad
    implementation, bad setup, and lack of well thought security policies. One
    of the most important pre-implementation tasks is to plan how to manage
    the Lotus PKI (how to create and manage the certifier IDs, how to
    distribute and manage the private keys to users, key recovery, etc.).
    Another major issue many times overlooked is to not take the default
    access control settings for server security, databases, and templates. You
    need to look at each one and adjust them as needed. Proper planning is
    key.
