Dear All,i have create some test db on my local pc (not on server) with Application | New with an ID (User Test1).
I have put on ACL de Dafault Menager but seemd that the my local db can access only by the User Test1… if i try to open with ID User Test2 i receive the following message:
“This database has local access protection (encrypted) and you are not authorized to access it”
Why ? i have done the above operations 1000 times with old LN release 5.x, 6.x, 7.x… i have never recived the above message.
In The Advanced tab of ACL option for my local dbs have:
Administration server: none
Enforce a consinstent check… Dasabled !
Can you help me and solve my dubts ?

An encrypted database can only be accessed by the person who encrypted it. The ACL will not get around that. (The ACL is in the database, and so has also been encrypted - it cannot be read until you have the decryption key from the owner’s ID file.)
Server databases are encrypted by the Server ID, and since it’s only access by the Server, that works for multiple users. (All user requests are actually executed by the Server’s ID)
I’m pretty sure that this would be true for all Notes releases since database encryption was added.
Subject: nothing to do with ACL
When you make a copy (or local replica) of a database, you can check or uncheck an option for local encryption. You probably have default set to encrypt. That means only the creator of the database can read it.

Thanks at allWith LN 8.5 and 8.5.1 the default Encryption setting when i perform new copy or creation is:
“Locally encrypt this database using…”
if i select “Do not locally encrypt this database” the LN client not save/set my option for future copy/creation.
There is the possibility to set as default “Do not locally encrypt this database” ?
Subject: In the Preferences
Under File, Preferences, go to the Default tab underneath Replication & Sync and you will find the option to control this.
