Hi

I can copy any *.nsf file of email our user from Lotus Notus server and open it with other lotus client without any password/certificate...

Tell me please why i can open it and how protect this files?

Thanks.

P.S. I just start researching Lotus Notes

It'd be because you have access to do so.

The database ACL dialog can tell you what "effective access" you have to the application. Enter your name, and it'll tell you.

To secure against it, remove your access.

I assume you are copying the .nsf off of the server
In which case you can enable encryption on the .nsf's via the admin client I believe & then run compact -c. This will encrypt the .nsf's and they can then only be opened using the server .id file.

Secure *.nsf

Thanks Steve.

I want to encrypt the all nsf files of mailbox users, can i encryption it on server via admin console or i need open each client?

If i encryption file this has a negative impact on something (performance, backup...)?

And where i can read about encryption on the .nsf's files? Red book?

Thanks.

You can do it from the admin client
go to application properties and encryption settings.

There is a CPU hit for enabling encryption, but it depends on what level of encryption (not certain if you can select anything other than strong these days).

You should be able to google it, there might be a red book, but don't know for certain.
