LO60280: DOMINO SERVER 702 DENYING USERS AND AGENT ACCESS WHEN USING THE 852 TEMPLATE

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Due to the change in $ServerAccess view selection criteria in
  the 8.5.2 version of pubnames.ntf, Domino server 702 denying
  users and agent access when using the 852 template
  
  Customer having mixed Domino servers version and trying to use
  latest 8.5.2 version of pubnames.ntf on all of the servers
  including 702 however the new template is not working as
  expected on 702 Domino
  
  Servers in the form of denying users to access the server and
  reverting back to 851 or earlier NAB template works fine.
  
  In the view ($ServerAccess) the View Selection is changed from
  (8.5.1):
  
  SELECT (Type = "Group" & (@IsUnavailable (
  GroupType)|GroupType="0" :
  "2":"3":"4")) & Form="Group" & @IsUnavailable($Conflict)
  
  to (8.5.2):
  
  allfields := @DocFields;
  test1 := 0;
  test2 := 0;
  @For(i:=1; i < @Elements(allfields); i:=i+1; test1 := test1 +
  @If(@UpperCase(allfields[i]) = "LISTNAME";1;0));
  @For(i:=1; i < @Elements(allfields); i:=i+1; test2:=test2 +
  @If(@UpperCase(allfields[i]) = "SHORTNAME";1;0));
  SELECT (test1 < 2 & test2 = 0 &Type = "Group" & (@IsUnavailable
  (GroupType)|GroupType="0" : "2":"3":"4")) & Form="Group" &
  @IsUnavailable($Conflict)
  
  This View Selection is not being understood correctly by the
  server running 7.0.2 using 852 NAB Template
  
  
  
  
  The 8.5.2 design does not work on the 7.0.2 servers, meaning the
  server does not understand the selection made in that design.
  
  The problem is that the fix that was implemented to resolve the
  issue as described in the TN making coexistence between Domino
  8.5.2 servers and 7.0.2 servers with
  the new design impossible:
  
  Title:        Domino 8.5.2 prohibits the use of ShortName field
  in Group
  documents
  Doc #:        1447661
  URL:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21447661
  
  They don't have shortnames in these groups so the issue is not
  related to shortname field
  
  The IBM recommendations already informed to the customer i.e.use
  same version of template as of the Domino however the problem
  needs to be informed.
  

Local fix

• Revert back to the 851 or earlier NAB template
