Auto launch and Execution Security Alert

I am getting an ESA when I attempt to open a document using a form which has the Auto Launch first attachment property set. The ESA dialog tells me that Program has No Signature and that it is attempting to access the file system.

I am encountering this problem only while trying to use the 6.5.1 client. The 5.11 client does not seem to have any problem launching the attachment.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

TIA.

I came across the same issue in 6.0.2. It seems that with the tighter security model in r6, the launching of the attachment is looking at a user’s ECL for permission. One solution is to have the documents signed when they are saved but then you’d have to make sure that all signers have access to launch attachments in every user’s ECL. My solution was to write an agent that runs on the server “after documents are created or modified” to sign each doc. Since it’s running on the server, it’s being signed with the specified server’s ID.

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim collection As NotesDocumentCollection

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Set collection = db.UnprocessedDocuments

Set doc = collection.GetFirstDocument()

Do While Not(doc Is Nothing)

Call doc.Sign

Call doc.Save( False, False )

Set doc = collection.GetNextDocument(doc)
