.NSF File Security on a newly burned CD 2

[horna]

I am in the process of backing up Notes .NSF Files onto CD's. The only drawback is the security. There isn't any.

I noticed that anyone can open the .NSF File on the CD. Is there anyway to add security?

Thank you.

Hi,

From lotus I am not sure, but I would use a 3rd party piece of encyrption software if they are that senstive.

In the ACLs of each database on your server, go to the Advanced tab, and select the option "Enforce a consistent Access Control List across all replicas of this database."

It will make this VERY secure. In fact, it will most likely prevent you from getting into a database from the server, and you could potentially lock yourself out of some databases.

Make sure you check out the Lotus Support forums before you do this, because there are some implications.

I've done more R5 deployments than I care to think about.

Thanks for responding. I did look in the Notes Help, and it does tell me that "To keep data in local replicas secure, encrypt the database.".
Right now, unless the users really insist on security on the CD Copy of their Notes E-Mail, I am going to wait on encrypting the databases.
Thanks again.

You can encrypt the database when creating a replica to secure the replica of the database for unauthorized access.
However when creating a replica for your endusers make sure that you use their own Notes ID in creating the replica.
