To use the Administration Process (adminP) to expedite
name changes, your organization must use hierarchical names. Use this
procedure to upgrade a user name from a flat format to a hierarchical
format.
About this task
Upgrading a user name from flat to hierarchical affects
both the primary and alternate name information. To use the Domino® alternate name functionality, Domino must be running on all
servers involved with the name change, the user's workstation, and
the administrator's workstation.
Note: This does not apply to Notes® roaming users.
To
rename a user you must have the following:
- Editor with Create documents access, or the UserModifier role
to the Domino Directory
- At least Author with Create documents access to the Certification
Log
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
click the People & Groups tab.
- Click People and select a user name.
- From the tools pane, click People - Rename.
- Click Upgrade to Hierarchical.

box, make the following selections:

Do one of these:
- If you are using the Domino server-based
CA (certificate authority), choose the server that is used to access
the Domino Directory and
list the certifiers.
- If you are supplying a certifier ID, select the server that is
used to locate the list of certifiers so that the certifier ID file
can be updated with the latest set of certificates for itself and
all of its ancestors. This is also the server on which certlog.nsf
is updated.

Use the CA process |
Choose this option if you have configured the Domino server-based CA.
- Select a CA-configured certifier from the list and click OK.
|
Supply certifier ID and password |
Choose this option if you are using a certifier
ID and password.

For example, to rename Joe Smith/Sales/NYC/ACME, use the certifier
ID named SALES.ID.
- Click Certifier ID to select an ID other
than the one displayed.

- In the Certificate Expiration Date dialog
box, accept or change the new certification expiration date. The default
certificate expiration date is two years from the current date.
Note: The Edit or inspect each entry before submitting
request check box is selected and cannot be modified.
- In the Rename Person dialog box,
you have the option of changing the primary or alternate name information.
Then choose one of the following:
- OK - to submit the name change approval.
- Skip - if you are upgrading more than
one user name and you want to continue to the next name without submitting
a name change for the current name.
- Cancel Remaining Entries - to cancel
this name change and name changes for any other names you selected
and have not yet submitted.
- When the Processing Statistics dialog
box appears, review the information to verify that all name changes
have succeeded. If any fail, check the Certifier Log (certlog.nsf)
to determine the reason for the failure. Click OK.
