Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101658
Protection doesn't check password on newly-opened document
Last modified: 2009-05-08 18:13:35 UTC
I have a document with some protected fields. I select Tools:Protect Document:Sheet to protect the fields, and enter my password twice. This works fine, and I cannot edit fields. If I then go back (*without closing the document*) to Tools:Protect Document:Sheet to re-enable the fields, it asks me for the password, as it should. However, if I protect the fields, then *close* Calc, reopen it, reload my file, and do the same thing, Calc just turns off the protection without asking for the password! This is not correct.
I checked with "Ooo 3.1.0 multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO310m11 (Build 9399)]" and can NOT confirm the reported effect. WFM or DUP of Issue 60305? Unfortunately the report is too rare to decide this. @gorlash May be you can tell us the OS you used for your test? Pls. attach a sample document!
Created attachment 62109 [details] small spreadsheet which demonstrates my issue
I am using Vista SP1 The attached spreadsheet demonstrates the issue. I protected the document using password "gorlash". The first column is protected, the second column is not. When I first open the file, the protected column *is* protected. However, when I select Tools:ProtectDocument:Sheet, it just silently unprotects the document without asking for a password.
DUP as expected @gorlash: Please read our guidelines on <http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html> and <http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html>, then contribute a clear step by step instruction containing all observations (error messages ...), _every_key_press_and_every_mouse_click_ how to reproduce the problem, and explain why you believe that your results are unexpected. and be more exact with your next report! Thank you for your attention. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 60305 ***
