SECURING
After you migrate or create a certifier, you can modify it through the certifier ICL or through the certifier document in the Domino® Directory. How you open a certifier to modify it affects the number and type of changes you can make.
About this task
Only CA administrators can modify a server-based CA. A CA administrator must have Editor access to the Domino Directory in order to modify a certifier.

For detailed information on these options, see the topic Creating a certifier for a server-based CA.
To modify a certifier through the Certifier document
Each time you create or update a certifier ID for an organization or organizational unit, a Certifier document is created and stored in the Domino Directory. For Notes certifiers, the Certifier document contains a record of the certifier ID. For Notes and Internet certifiers, the Certifier document is a record of the certificates associated with the Certifier document. A certificate is a unique electronic stamp that identifies users or servers.
To modify a Certifier document, you must have Editor access to the Domino Directory. Full-access administrators and administrators have this access by default; however, be sure that all certificate authority (CA) administrators also have this access.
1. From the Administrator, click Configuration.
