I'm a regular user on our Lotus Domino system--not sure what version. My client is LN 7. My mail box corrupted and I was issued a new ID file--I still have the old ID file.
Using the new ID file, I cannot access the email archive, which is local to my PC--not on a file share. If I File...Database...Open, and select the archive file (NSF), I receive "Your ID failed authentication check. Access is denied".
Incidentally, using the old ID file, I can still acces the ID file, but I cannot talk to the Domino server (obviously).
How can I re-enable my access to my archive file?
Next, open the ACL of the database, and check that Enforce consistent ACL isn't checked. If it is, just leave it, but it might make things more difficult.
Then, switch to your new ID, and open the archive again. It should now be possible.
