Administering with AdminCentral
The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.

  - How do AdminCentral requests work?
    AdminCentral (admincentral.nsf), created from the admincentral.ntf template, is used by AdminCentral threads in the AdminP task for processing user registration, user recertification, and group creation requests.
  - Setting up a registration profile in AdminCentral
    One of the first tasks in using the AdminCentral app is to create a Notes user registration profile that streamlines the various choices that an experienced Domino administrator has to make when registering Notes users.
  - Managing Notes users and groups
    Once you have created registration profiles for your Domino deployment in the AdminCentral app, you can use the app to easily create Notes users and groups, recertify users' certificate, delete or rename users, and perform password reset actions for a selected user, from either your Notes client or Nomad browser client.
  - Setting up a deletion profile
    With this profile document, you can customize a Notes user's deletion options, similar to what you can do in the Domino Administrator client.
  - Viewing the Admin Activity log
    The AdminCentral app provides an Activity Log page which lets the administrator view all the different requests that are submitted for various actions such as user registration/recertification and group creation.
  - Using the remote server console
    Get access to the remote server console.

Administering with AdminCentral

The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.

Adminp launches a new AdminCentral processing thread automatically on the Domino Domain administration server. The first time AdminP runs, it creates the AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) which is used by AdminCentral thread for request processing.

You can use the AdminCentral app to perform the following tasks:

Register a new Notes user using a form
Register multiple users using a CSV file in the same format that the Domino Administrator client uses
Register as Notes users Active Directory contacts/Person documents that have dirsync'ed into Domino
Recertify a Notes user's certificate
Create a group in the Domino Directory

Prerequisites

Set up an ID vault for managing the user's Notes ID file (if one doesn't already exist in the current Domino deployment).
Move the Notes Organization or OU certifier ID to the Domino certification authority (CA) as described in Migrating a certifier to the CA process.
Note: Make sure that the Domino administration server (which is the same as the administration server of the Domino Directory) is listed as an RAA (Registration Authority).
