reading up on the Domino 6.5 beta


Tags :


        I already installed the new Domino 6.5 beta on my test server, not bad except for the files it kept saying were in use and wouldn't install properly.  The same 5 files as always.  I have no idea what task had them open.  I even stopped just about everything on the test server.  Who knows.  All is well now.  Later I will be sneaking around the office upgrading unsuspecting souls machines. Mwahahahahahaha  :-)
        So late last night I was reading the Release Notes to gather some info before I installed today.  This one really stuck out in my mind as something a lot of enterprises will have to deal with.

Change to order of evaluation for ACL entries

In Notes/Domino 6, if a group entry and a wildcard entry in a database ACL both apply to a user attempting to access the database, the user has the access assigned to the group entry. For example, if the group "Sales" has Reader access and the wildcard entry */West/Acme has Manager access, and both entries apply to a user, the user has Reader access to the database.

In prior releases, group and wildcard entries in the ACL were given equal weight.

So get to checking those ACL's folks, strange times are a brewing.    Back later....
