Procedure

    1. Use the default server or click Server to specify a server.
      • 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.
      • If you are using the Domino® server-based CA, select the server that is used to access the Domino® Directory to look up the list of certifiers.
        Note: This is also the server on which CERTLOG.NSF is updated.

      Then select one of these options:

    2. Supply a certifier ID and password.
      • Click Certifier ID if you want to use an ID other that which is displayed.
      • Otherwise, click OK, enter the password for the selected certifier ID, and click OK.

  5. In the Mail system field, choose Notes.
  6. Click Mail Server, and choose a cluster server as the Mail server.
  7. Click Mail File Replicas.
