Creating a cross-certificate from a Notes certifier

You can create an IBM® Notes® cross-certificate in the IBM Domino® Directory from a Notes certifier. You can then push the cross-certificate to Notes user contacts.

Procedure

From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and then click Tools > Certification > Cross Certify.
Select the ID to be cross-certified.

Note: To use the CA process, select a CA-configured certifier from the list, click OK, and skip the remaining steps in this procedure.

In the Issue Cross Certificate dialog box, complete the following fields and click Cross Certify:

Table 1. Issue Cross Certificate fields and values
Field	Value
Certifier	File name of a user, server, or certifier ID. Specify a server or certifier ID when creating a cross-certificate for a server. The ID specified indicates who can use the cross-certificate.
Server	Location of the Contacts or Domino Directory where you want to copy the cross-certificate. Add the cross-certificate to the Contacts for Notes clients.
Subject name	Organization or organizational unit certifier that you want to cross-certify -- for example, /Renovations. You can also create a cross-certificate for the owner of the certificate.
Subject alternate name list	An alternate name for the subject of the certificate. Alternate names allow you to assign names that are recognizable in a user's native language to an ID file.
Expiration date	Date when the cross-certificate will expire.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every ID for whom you want to create cross-certificates.
