Example: Provisioning a Lotus Notes User in an Organizational Unit

The following example shows how to provision an object for a user in an organizational unit. The organizational unit is "accounting". The identification file is stored as an attachment, and the password for the identification file is "FilePassword". The user accesses e-mail through the Lotus Notes client.

Important  Change the value of the _MMS_Password property to a different value than the value that is shown in the code example.

If you are referencing a file that is located in a folder for the CSEntry.DN value, such as the file for the Notes Address Book (NAB) value, use a forward slash ("/") to separate the folder name from the file name: for example, folder/file name.
