Yes, I figured that - but, while I know basically nothing about Lotus
Notes, every encrypted server I knows of stores the encryption key on
the server itself, and very few admins will encrypt or password-protect
the key.
I don't know what Lotus Notes uses, but if it's plain SSL and you have
the server key, it should be possible to find some tool that will do the
decrypting for you (if there's no such tool for Windows, dump the
packets and read them in on a *nix system).
Cracking the passwords may help in some cases, but this sound like an
attack that is at least theoretically feasible to me. Of course,
practical feasability depends on the OP being able to get hold of a
decrypting program for whatever Notes uses.
