SECURING
If you create an Admin ECL prior to registering users, that Admin ECL is deployed automatically to user workstations when users run the Notes® setup during install. You can also deploy and maintain ECLs through the use of policies, which allow you to deploy create and deploy ECLs on a group or organizational basis, as well as define the frequency and extent to which workstation ECLs are updated.
About this task
If you edit the administration ECL after users run setup, and you are not using a security policy, you can use one of the following procedures to update user workstation ECLs.
To use the @RefreshECL function to update workstation ECLs
This procedure enables users to update their workstation ECL by running a macro that copies the current administration ECL to the local workstation ECL.
Procedure
1. Make sure the Domino® Directory with the ECL changes has replicated throughout the domain.
2. Address a memo to users whose ECLs you want to update.
3. Add a button to the memo that executes this formula:
Where server : database is a text list that specifies the server location and file name of the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) that contains the administration ECL; and name is text that specifies the name of the administration ECL. Specify "" (null) if you have not named the administration ECL. For example, for an unnamed administration ECL located in NAMES.NSF on the server SERVER1, the @RefreshECL formula is:
@RefreshECL("server1":"names.nsf";"")
Note: For MIME-enabled users who lose their active content in mail messages, add the button to a document in a particular Notes database and tell those users to go there to update their ECLs.
5. Mail the memo.
1. Make sure the Domino Directory with the ECL changes has replicated throughout the domain.
2. Address an email to users whose ECLs you want to update.
3. Describe the purpose of the email and instruct the users to do the following:
b. Click What Others Do, and then click one of the following:
Results
Even after you distribute an updated ECL, users might still encounter Execution Security Alerts. Make sure that users:
