Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Changing administrator information for ID recovery

SECURITY

Changing administrator information for ID recovery
If an administrator leaves an organization or changes job responsibilities within an organization, you need to update the administration recovery information used to recover user ID files and then send the new information to users to add to their ID files. For IBM® Lotus® Notes® 6.0 or later users, the updated recovery information is authomatically accepted into the ID file the next time the users authenticate with their home servers by accessing a database on the server.

To add or delete administrators

An administrator with access to the certifier ID completes these steps.

1. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, click the Configuration tab, and then click Certification.

2. Click Edit Recovery Information.

3. In the Choose a Certifier dialog box, if the correct server name does not appear, click Server and select the registration server name from the Domino Directory.

4. Choose the certifier for which you are creating recovery information.

If you are using a server-based CA, click "Use the CA process" and select a certifier from the drop-down list.
If you are not using a server-based CA, click "Supply certifier ID and password." If the certifier ID path and file name does not appear, click Certifier ID and select the certifier ID file and enter the password.

5. Do one:

To delete an administrator, highlight the administrator's name, and then click Remove.
To add new administrators, click Add and then select the names of administrators who are authorized to recover ID files.

6. (Optional) Change the number of administrators required to unlock an ID.

7. When you finish adding or deleting names, click OK.

8. Prepare IDs for recovery.
