The Cross-domain Configuration document specifies how a domain exchanges and processes administration requests.

About this task

Create Cross-domain Configuration documents to enable a server in one domain to mail administration requests to a server in another domain. Set up the Cross-domain Configuration document after you specify an administration server for the Domino® Directory in each domain. The Cross-domain Configuration document is stored in the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF).

Procedure

1. Make sure that you have already set up the necessary Connection documents and cross certificates to allow communication between the servers.

2. From the Domino Administrator, choose Server -> Analysis -> Administration Requests.

3. In the Cross Domain Configuration view, click Add Configuration.

4. On the Configuration Type tab, select one of these:

• Inbound to create an inbound request configuration
• Outbound to create an outbound request configuration

Create Replica requests must be signed by the source server.
