Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Setting up the Server Certificate Admin application

SECURITY

Setting up the Server Certificate Admin application
IBM® Lotus® Domino™ automatically creates the Server Certificate Admin application during server setup. If the Server Certificate Admin application is not available after you start the Domino server, use the Server Certificate Admin template (CSRV50.NTF) to create it. Use the Server Certificate Admin application to:

Request server certificates from either a Domino or third-party CA
Add a CA certificate as a trusted root
Manage server certificates in a key ring file
Create a self-certified certificate for testing purposes

To set up the Server Certificate Admin application

1. Make sure you set up the server as a Domino Web server.

2. Edit the ACL of the Server Certificate Admin application, as follows:

Add the names of server administrators who will need to obtain and manage server certificates. Assign Manager access.
Set -Default- access to No access to prevent others from using the database.

3. Create a server key ring file.

Tip To hide the Server Certificate Admin application when users choose File - Database - Open, deselect "Show in 'Open Database' dialog" in the Database Properties box.
