Somebody asked me for this today, since my old domino based blog entries are no longer available online.

Here is the C++ Lotus API code I wrote to toggle the SetUniformAccess flag on a database, also known as the Enforce Consistent ACL flag. This does require the C++ dll on your path, such as lcppn23.dll or later.

#include <lncppapi.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char errorBuf[LNERROR_MESSAGE_LENGTH];
	LNNotesSession session;
	LNSetThrowAllErrors(TRUE);

	if ( argc < 2 )
	{
		cout << "This application sets the SetUniformAccess flag" << endl;
		cout << "Also known as the EnforceConsistentACL flag" << endl;
		cout << "Usage: " << endl;
		cout << "     DbSetUniformAccess.exe database flag" << endl;
		cout << "          -database = path to database to change" << endl;
		cout << "          -flag = T to set to true, anything else to set to false" << endl;
		return(0);
	}

	

	try {
		session.Init();
		LNDatabase db;
		LNACL acl;
		char * testchar = "T";

		cout << "Opening database: " << argv[1] << endl;
		session.GetDatabase(argv[1], &db);
		db.Open(LNDBOPENFLAGS_NO_USER_INFO);
		db.GetACL(&acl);

		if (strcmp(argv[2], "T") == 0)
		{
			acl.SetUniformAccess(TRUE);
			cout << "changed SetUniformAccess to TRUE" << endl;
		}
		else
		{
			acl.SetUniformAccess(FALSE);
			cout << "changed SetUniformAccess to FALSE" << endl;
		}

		acl.Save();
	}
	catch (LNSTATUS error) {
		LNGetErrorMessage(error, errorBuf);
		cout << "Error:   " << errorBuf << endl;
	}

	cout << "Finished running" << endl;
	session.Term();
	return(0);
}
