Try this:
Keep your Notes password in your keychain. (check box)
Press F5
Note “Eclipse wants to use your “login” keychain” message
Press OK - nothing happens
or
Press Cancel - You get a Notes login dialog box (password prompt)
Neither of these clears the screen like the old F5 security process.
SUGGESTION: Remove this functionality from Mac client. Or figure out some other behavior.
Subject: Have your input your Mac OS password in keychain messagebox after F5?
Subject: …then entering the password in first box
When I enter the password in the Keychain dialog box, then nothing happens. The dialog clears and Notes is still active.
Subject: Lockout in Notes 8.5
It should be acting like this. Press F5 will invoke keychain password instead of the lockout screen in 8.5 as there is no lockout screen in Notes 8.5.
Subject: Still don’t understand
This behavior seems very odd.
I press F5 because I want to lock Notes. I don’t want anyone to read the screens I have open and I don’t want anyone to be able to use my account to send mail if I step away from my computer. (REMARK: Actually, I use the OS lock facility and would never use the Notes lock, so that is why I recommend removing this entirely from Notes).
However, If I press F5 and walk away, the screen is left readable and the Keychain prompt is up. From the Keychain prompt, all a user must do is press Cancel and Notes is fully usable.
OR, I press F5 & Cancel (why 2 steps) and the user ID prompt is showing. Someone can still read the current screen showing.
THEN to login again, I enter my password, press Enter and I’m AGAIN prompted with the Keychain prompt. (Why 2 steps AGAIN)
This is awkward and non-user friendly. Most of my users won’t be able to figure this out correctly.
Given that all modern OSes (and Notes 8.5 requires the latest releases of these OSes) have builtin lock capabilies, I strongly recommend that the F5 capability either be dropped or that it invokes the OS lock functionality.
Subject: About Notes 8.5 lockout feature
Thanks for providing the information!
There is a known issue for Notes 8.5 that the Notes screen will not be covered with a lockout screen as it was on Notes 7.0.x, and it will be considered in next release. So on lockout, Notes password dialog or keychain password dialog will be prompted and user can not click other Notes UIs.
Here is the F5 lockout behavior on my MBP (Mac OS 10.5.3), but I find it is a little different for the behavior on your machine.
Scenario 1:
Press Fn+F5 on my MBP to lockout Notes
Keychain password dialog is prompted, input Mac OS password and click OK, then Notes is unlocked.
Scenario 2:
Press Fn+F5 on my MBP to lockout Notes
Keychain password dialog is prompted
To log in Notes, click Cancel on keychain password dialog
Notes password dialog will be prompted
Input Notes password dialog and click Log In, then Notes is unlocked
Notes should be performing like this, or it is a bug. I found that you are prompted a keychain dialog again after step 4 of scenario 2, and I doubt you had run into another known issue:
KLSG7AX9CN Keychain password dialog will prompts repeatly if auto-lockout is enabled.
Could you please check if you have enabled auto-lockout in this way?
Open Notes preferences dialog and go to basic client configuration tab
