LO46647: USERS ARE UNABLE TO OPEN AND READ SIGNED MESSAGES IN INOTES 8.5.1 WHEN MAIL FILE DOES NOT CONTAIN A NOTES ID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Description:
  In iNotes 8.5.1, users are unable to open and read messages that
  have been
  signed if their mail file DOES NOT contain a Notes ID.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  *NOTE - in step one, during registration, create a Notes ID for
  the user but DO
  NOT choose the "In mail file" option.
  
  1.)  Register a new user with new mail file (it does not matter
  which mail
  template is used as long as Domino version is 8.5.1)
  2.)  Send a signed email to the user
  3.)  Log into iNotes using the new user's username and
  password
  4.)  Try to open the signed email sent to the user in step two.
  If you used
  the mail85.ntf template with Forms85.nsf, you should see an
  error in the iNotes
  console similar to this:
     "Error encountered retrieving data: Bad HTTP status: 500
  (Internal
  Server Error)"
  
  If you used the iNotes6.ntf with Forms6.nsf or if you replace
  the design of the
  mail file to iNotes6.ntf, restart HTTP, and then log back into
  iNotes with
  user's username and password, you will see this error:
  
  
  If you upload the user's Notes ID to the mail file, you will
  then be able to
  open and read signed messages.
  
  In any release prior to Domino 8.5.1, users ARE able to open and
  read signed
  emails even if their mail file DOES NOT contain a Notes ID.
  
  Domino versions tested, with no issues:
  -6.5.6
  -7.0.2
  -7.0.2FP2
  -8.0.2FP2
  -8.5
  

Local fix

• Upload users' Notes ID to the mail file or downgrade to a
  release prior to
  Domino 8.5.1
  

Problem summary
