USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION


Preventing replication of policies to pre-Domino release 4.67a servers
Policy documents replicating from an IBM® Lotus® Domino® 6 or later server to a server earlier than Domino Release 4.67a can produce the error "Database has too many unique field names" repeatedly upon replication.

A readers field ($PolRdrs) has been added to each of the policy forms in the Domino Directory. This field is blank by default, allowing all entities within a domain to have read access to the documents. Additionally, a new role, [PolicyReader], has been added to the ACL of the Domino Directory. To effectively stop the flow of policy documents to servers at levels earlier than 4.67a, complete these two steps:

1. Using IBM® Lotus® Domino® Designer, open the Policy forms, set the default value of the $PolRdrs fields to [PolicyReader] role.

2. Assign the [PolicyReader] role to all entities (Servers, Administrators, etc.) within a domain that need to keep reader access to policy documents.
