Step
7: Register Lotus Foundations Branch Office with the Domino Enterprise
server
The Lotus Foundations Branch Office server must be registered
with the Domino Enterprise server and a server ID must be created for the
Lotus Foundations Branch Office server. Registration is done from the Domino
Administrator client. Refer to the
Lotus
Domino and Notes Information Center for help
on using Domino Administrator.
To register and create a server ID for the Lotus Foundations
Branch Office server, follow these steps:
1. Open
the IBM Domino Administrator that is connected to the Domino Enterprise
server.
2. Click
the
Configuration tab.
3. Expand
the
Server section and select
Current Server Document.
4. On
the right-side, expand
Tools ->
Registration and select
Server.
5. From
the "Choose a Certifier" window, select
Supply certifier ID
and password, and click
Certifier ID.
6. From
the "Choose Certifier ID" window, locate the Organization certifier
ID file (usually called cert.id) located on the Domino Enterprise server
(if not already selected by default). This is usually found in the data
directory of the Domino Enterprise server. Highlight the file and click
Open. Click
OK.
For advanced users: Organizational Unit certifier
ID's may also be used here in the case where the Lotus Foundations Branch
Office server is to serve as a member of a hierarchical Domino installation.
Refer to
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.domino.admin85.doc/DOC/H_HIERARCHICAL_NAME_TREES_OVER.html
for more information on Organizational Units.
Note: You might get a "Certifier Recovery Information
Warning". You can ignore the warning message, although you might want
to take the recommended actions. The actions are unrelated to server registration.
Check the
Do not show this warning for the certifier ID in the future
box and click
OK.
7. A
"Register Servers" window displays. Click
Continue.
8. In
the "Register New Server(s)" window, enter the following information:
a. In
the
Server name field, enter the name for the
Lotus Foundations
Branch Office Domino server.
Note: You might want to choose a name for the server according
to its location or function, such as
Sales1
or
Boston, since the name
forms part of your user's email addresses and it is a permanent choice.
b. In
the
Domino Domain name field, enter the
Domino Enterprise
domain name (if not already entered by default).
c. In
the
Server administrator name field, click the user button and select
the administrator account for the Domino Enterprise server (this might
also be selected by default).
d. Do
NOT enter a password in the
ID file password field.
Note: It is important that you do NOT enter a password
in the
ID File password field. If the ID file contains a password,
the Branch Office Domino server attempts to prompt for it when it starts
up. As there is no way for a person to provide a password at that point,
the installation is non-functional.
e. In
the "Location for storing server ID" section, uncheck the
In
Domino directory box. Check the
In file box and click
Set
ID File. Specify a location for the new server ID. For ease of use,
consider naming the server's ID file something you can easily recognize
in later steps when needed, such as the server's name or location. Click
Save.
9. Click
the green check mark button and the Lotus Foundations Branch Office server
displays in the box at the bottom of the dialog box.
10. Repeat
the registration process for as many Lotus Foundations Branch Office servers
as you need to register at this time.
11. When
you are finished adding Lotus Foundations Branch Office servers to the
list of servers to register with the Domino Enterprise server, either select
individual servers to register and click
Register, or click
Register
All to register all the servers in the list.
12. Click
Done.
The Lotus Foundations Branch Office server is now registered
with the Domino Enterprise server and a server ID for the Lotus Foundations
Branch Office server has been created and stored on your local hard drive
in the location you specified in Step 8e.
