RE: This puzzles me: Admin - Recertify doesn't work ~Sigmund Regeroly 8.Dec.03 09:25 PM a Web browser Domino Administrator 6.0.1Windows 2000
Normal recertify process take little while since it go through ADMINP process. So I think if you just leave it as is it will take effect when ADMINP process runs. For this you also need to assign admin server.
The Administration Process
This is from Help:
The Administration Process is a program that automates many routine administrative tasks. For example, if you delete a user, the Administration Process locates that user's name in the Domino Directory and removes it, locates and removes the user's name from ACLs, and makes any other necessary deletions for that user.
The Administration Process automates these tasks:
Name-management tasks, such as rename person, rename group, delete person, delete group, delete server name, recertify users, and store Internet certificate
Mail-file-management tasks, such as delete mail file, and move a mail file.
Server-document-management tasks, such as store CPU count, platform, and place network protocol information in Server document
Administration servers
Administration servers control how the Administration Process does its work. You specify an administration server for the Domino Directory and for each database. By default, the first Domino server you set up in a domain is the administration server for the Domino Directory. The administration server for the Domino Directory maintains the Domino Directory's ACL, performs deletion and name change operations, and replicates these changes to other replicas of the Domino Directory in the domain.
All databases need an administration server to manage name changes and deletions that apply to the database -- for example, changes to the ACL and Readers and Authors fields. If a database has replicas, you assign an administration server to only one replica. Then the Administration Process makes all changes to that replica, and replication for that database carries out the changes in all other replicas.
The Administration Requests database
The Administration Process primarily interacts with the Administration Requests database, which is created on the administration server for the Domino Directory when that server starts for the first time. To complete tasks, the Administration Process posts and responds to requests in the Administration Requests database. Domino servers use replicas of this database to distribute requests made on one server to other servers in the domain.
When other servers start, if the Administration Requests database does not exist, the server creates a replica stub of the Administration Requests database and waits for it to be initialized from another server in the domain. Every server in the domain stores a replica of the Administration Requests database and the Domino Directory.
The Certification Log
To use the Administration Process to perform name changes and recertifications, you must set up the Certification Log (CERTLOG.NSF) on the server that stores the Domino Directory in which you will initiate the name change or recertification. If the Certification Log exists on another server, move the Certification Log to the server containing the Domino Directory on which you are initiating the name change or recertification. This log contains a permanent record of how you register servers and users, including information about the certifier ID. The Certification Log also contains messages that describe the results of recertification requests that the Administration Process is processing.
