Notes 8.5: Workaround for issue with vaulted ID and client setup
Tags: Notes IDVault Notes 8.5 Notes Client
For one of our customers I created an IDvault in a new Domino 8.5 environment. Everything worked well except the setup of a freshly installed client. Everytime I started the client for configuration and entered user and servername (in that format: (<servername>/<ou>/<o>), the client asked me for the ID file. There wasn't any message or log entry on the server which could have linked me to the couse why the client didn't download the ID file from the vault.
I checked the users access to the server, checked the ID in the vault, checked if all user data was replicated to the users home server, if the vault server was available and so on. Nothing.
But then I tried the IP address instead of the full qualified servername
and voila, the client asked me directly for the password. The behavior is reproducable.
And as far as I can see I'm not the only one with that problem: look here or here.

Lotus Notes 8.5.1 or in 8.5.1 FP1,
but we see this in 8.5.1 FP2.
Just in case someone is wondering and finds this great advice.
