Creating a cross-certificate from a user's Person document

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

From the HCL Domino® Administrator, click People & Groups, and open the Person document for the user you are cross-certifying.
In Contacts, open the Contact document for the user you are cross-certifying.

2. Click 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:

Table 1. Issue Cross Certificate fields and values

Field	Value
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 Contacts or Domino Directory where you want to copy the cross-certificate. Add the cross-certificate to the Contacts for Notes clients.
Subject name	Organization or organizational unit certifier that you want to cross-certify -- for example, /Renovations. You can also create a cross-certificate for the owner of the certificate.
Subject alternate names	An alternate name for the subject of the certificate. Alternate names allow you to assign names that are recognizable in a user's native language to an ID file.
Expiration date	Date when the cross-certificate will expire.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for every user for whom you want to create cross-certificates.
