Client appears to be enforcing an unenforced acl?

6.5.1 and 6.5.2 on WinXP/WinNT

i had been receiving complaints that when a user replied to an email it would go back to being unread, the “mark parent note on reply for forward” property was enabled (as it should have been) but because the “do not mark modified documents as unread” was disabled they were going back to unread. so i just asked all the users to go in and change it (there is no programatic access). the problem was they couldn’t because it was greyed out.

i had recently dropped our users from manager to designer access on their mail files. all users have local replicas of their mail files. none of our mail files has an enforced acl.

it appears that the notes client (from the client only install) enforces acls when they’re not set as enforced. if i install the client from the client/admin/designer install it doesn’t do it so they’ll have manager access to their local replica (which they should have).

has anyone else noticed this difference?

why does the difference exist?

Sound like you have create local replica with encryption (by default on in R6). Message coming is the same like enforced acl. Try to create new replica without encryption. You only can change this at creation!

we have enforced policies where that option is disabled and nearly all of these mail files were created years ago when the users were on R5 and have been upgraded through R6, 6.5.1 and 6.5.2

i’m pretty sure it’s not encryption in this case because my normal test client was installed from the full client install and i had manager access to the local mail file, which is why i couldn’t understand why the other users didn’t. when i uninstalled that and installed it again from just the client install i was downgraded to designer access to the same file.
