Hello fellow SharePoint friends,

I had to setup a Lotus Notes SharePoint Connector for the first time for one of our customers. It is a SharePoint 2013 environment and I followed the technet article and blog entries for the installation. The Notes permissions are sufficent and i double checked the database connections by using the Notes client. SharePoint Connector Service is up and running.

If I try to crawl the Notes Databases I get the following ULS errors:

FLTRDMN: URL notes://notesserver/test123.nsf Errorinfo is "Error caused by exception: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException The shim execution failed unexpectedly - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation..: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail] The object was not found."  [fltrsink.cxx:566]  search\native\mssdmn\fltrsink.cxx

FLTRDMN: URL notes://notesserver/mappings.nsf Errorinfo is "Error caused by exception: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException The shim execution failed unexpectedly - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation..: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail] The Windows NT identity does not exist."  [fltrsink.cxx:566]  search\native\mssdmn\fltrsink.cxx

The start address notes://notesserver/teamrooms/conlifemgmt.nsf cannot be crawled.  Context: Application 'Search_Service_Application', Catalog 'Portal_Content'  Details:  The security descriptor for this item only contained built-in access control entries. The built-in ACEs have to be removed because they won't be valid for this item during queries.   (0x80040daa)

Please note, that the test123.nsf was added to check the error message, when a database does not exist. I also configured the connector to ignore security trimming when building the index, but error message are still the same.

I could not find any information regarding that error messages.

Has anyone experienced that problems and can help me crawl that databases?

Thanks for your help!
Nils

Nils, 

I see the following Error "Windows NT identity does not exist."   Can you verify the following your security? 

User accounts required to crawl Lotus Domino databases

A Domino administrator must grant a Lotus Notes user ID (which represents a Domino user) at least the Reader permission to the Lotus Domino databases and individual documents that you want to crawl. The Domino administrator must also add this Lotus Notes user ID and the Windows domain user account that is assigned to the SharePoint Server Search 15 service (OSearch15) to a mappings database on the Lotus Domino server that you want to crawl.

Configure and use the Lotus Notes connector for SharePoint Server 2013
