Creating a cross-certificate from a user's Person document
You can create a IBM® Lotus® Notes® and/or Internet cross-certificate from a certificate stored in a user's Person document.

1. Do one of the following:

From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, click People & Groups, and open the Person document for the user you are cross-certifying.
In the Personal Address Book, open the Contact document for the user you are cross-certifying.

2. Choose Actions - Create Cross Certificate.

3. In the Create Cross Certificate dialog box, choose the certificate to cross-certify.

4. In the Issue Cross Certificate dialog box, complete these fields and then click Cross Certify:

Field Enter

Certifier File name of a user, server, or certifier ID. Specify a server or certifier ID when creating a cross-certificate for a server. The ID specified indicates who can use the cross-certificate.

Server Location of the Personal Address Book or Domino Directory where you want to copy the cross-certificate. Add the cross-certificate to the Personal Address Book for Notes clients.

Subject name Organization or organizational unit certifier that you want to cross-certify -- for example, /Acme. You can also create a cross-certificate for the owner of the certificate.
