Bulletin Board permissions

Postby AdrianChapman » Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:11 pm

Folks,

We're having some oddities at the moment with importing Bulletin Boards/Public Folders.

We've been using 11.4.4 Community on a single-processor VMWare virtual machine, under Centos 5.2, with no problem whatsoever. However, we're needing to do some live testing of the ActiveSync module at the moment for a customer, so have a trial key for Enterprise. We've decided to take the opportunity to move to a different VM - dual processor - and Centos 5.3. The server's installed and working nicely, with user mailboxes imported without problem. The structure and contents of the public folders have imported cleanly, but the permissions are playing around big time.

If we omshowacl, we show a full set of permissions, with both Default and Local Users having create read editall editown deleteall deleteown visible

Yet if we try to delete messages from any public folder, we get You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation via webmail, but an odd situation via IMAP (Thunderbird). The first time you try to delete a message, you get The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: cannot store those flags. OK the dialog box, and try to delete the message again - and it deletes. Until you leave the folder and return - then it's back...

The sxadmin user can delete all messages from any public folder quite happily.
If the user, within WebMail, goes to Edit Properties/Permissions, they apparently have Author access, with Delete Own only.

One test did seem to work - but there were (unreleated) issues, and clearing the BBs down and reimporting saw them go back to having failed. The successful import has not been reproducible.

We've tried the import on Centos 5.2 as well as 5.3 - no difference.
We've tried the import on Community as well as Enterprise trial - no difference.

Any thoughts or further diagnostic requests?

Fixed...

Looks like ompatchom has sorted the problem, whatever it may have been...
