• Access Problems across databases - ACL

    By Joe Decker 1 decade ago

    I'm having an issue where the mobile controls don't work when users are accessing another database via the Mobile Controls Dojo 1.6 database.  Here's what is happening...

    When the user tries to access the MobileControlsDojo16.nsf/ViewAndDocument.xsp page, they receive a "you are not authorized to access MobileControlsDojo16.nsf/ViewAndDocument.xsp" error.  I followed the instructions of referencing my database's views, forms, documents,etc in the MobileControlsDojo16.nsf database versus trying to copy/paste the design elements from the MobileControlsDojo16.nsf to my database.

    The only way this appears to work is if the user is explicitly listed in the ACL of the destination database.  I tried all kinds of various combinations in the ACLs of the destination database and Mobile Controls databases, but the user being explicitly listed in the ACL of the destination database is the only one that seems to make it work.  That access was as low as reader.

    For example, for tuser in the Mobile Controls Dojo 1.6 database, I do not have him listed.  Instead, he gets Reader access that is applied to the */ejiw entry in the ACL of the Mobile Controls Dojo 1.6 database.  In the destinationdatabase, I have Test User (tuser) explicitly listed with Read access, and everything works.  I've never seen any application behave this way.  The groups that are in the ACLs have been there forever and have always worked for both Notes client and web access.

    Any ideas?  I'm not about to change the ACLs on my existing databases to list individual users.
