I have enabled local encryption of replica databases for all users through a desktop policy setting. The problem is that when a user roams to a new pc his NAB will be created unencrypted. Feature or bug ?Thanks…

I don’t know if this still stands, but when local encryption was introduced, the one NSF you couldn’t encrypt properly was the local NAB.
The basic problem is that the NAB must be read before the ID is unlocked, because the client must get the list of locations to present to the user. If the NAB is encrypted, then on startup, before any ID has been initialized, the client attempts to read the list of locations, and can’t. Remember, selecting the location can and often does control which ID will even be used.

Local NAB can be safely encrypted in Notes 6.x as long as you are either the only user of that NAB (multi-user install or non-shared workstation).

So in the case of roaming, which is clearly a multi-user model, you probably can’t.
Neither feature, nor bug. Just a limitation.
