ADMINISTERING
The Administration Process for the Domino® Directory must be set up on a server in each domain.
Cross-domain processing offers these benefits:
To set up cross-domain processing of administration requests, you need to do the following:
The Administration Requests database contains Cross-domain Configuration documents that specify how domains exchange and process administration requests. When you configure a Cross-domain Configuration document, you designate the trusted entities, which are persons, servers, or certifiers. All requests received from the domain must be signed by one of its trusted entities. Rename requests are the exception; they are signed by certifiers so their validity is determined by the certificates and the cross-certificate in the destination domain's Domino Directory. For Rename requests going to another domain, there must be appropriate cross-certificates between the two domains. Additionally, the Domino Directories of both the originating and destination domains must have all Certifier documents, with the certifier's public key, for the organizational structure represented in the name change request.
Tip: Copy the necessary set of Certifier documents from the originating domain to the destination domain. However, keep in mind that documents copied in this manner may need to replaced later if newer certifiers are used.
Note: Check the Connection documents for the servers involved in the cross-domain request processing. The fields on the Connection document that have particular impact on the processing of administration requests across domains are on the Basics tab: Source server, Source domain, Destination server, and Destination domain fields.
Other fields on the Connection should be set up to allow for replication and communication between source and destination servers as usual.
