I just installed Domino server 6.5 on Redhat 8.0 and created two users but non can send or receive emails. I cannot telnet 110 or 25 with any user, ilcuding the admin. It says “password not found in the Name and Address Book entry or password did not verify.” My OU = “Pact nbi”
I have never used Domino before and I am just testing to see if we can migrate to it from Exchange Server.

Of course you can migrate to Domino from Exchange.
What do you mean “non can send or receive emails”? In your post in the R5 forum, you stated that you can’t even authenticate. Stating that your problem is not being able to authenticate implies that you have installed clients and worked out any connectivity and authentication issues. So what have you done, and what is happening when you try what?

Hi,
sorry I have been out of touch for two days. I have installed Domino 6.5 on Redhat, and created two users in Domino, but these users can not access the domino server. i have a feeling it has to do with user registration or something like that.
Subject: RE: Authentication
Again I ask for details! Without more details, we’ll have no idea what your situation is. When you say that you created two users, did you register them, or just create person documents? Using what client can these users not access the server; Notes or browser? What constitutes not accessing the server; what errors are you getting where?
Subject: RE: Authentication
I am unable to register them. I used the domino admin client to finsish to GUI part of the install since I do not have GUI in my Redhat, and did not store IDs in the client (windows 2000 prof.)
When I try to register it asks for a certifier ID, and I have no idea what that is. I have looked for an ID file and can see only user in my w2k prof, although I think the cerifier ID should be in redhat. How do i access it?
I thought it is the server ID and copied it from /local/notesdata to the W2k professional but it di not recognize it. What have i not done?
Secondly, I’d like to know if I need a CA and how to create one - but I have a feeling it will require a certifier ID.

Now we’re getting somewhere. I’m now confused as to why you posted that you had created two users who were unable to access the server, but as your question has changed to where you get your hands on the cert.id file, I’ll remain confused.
You’re right, the file is in redhat. It should be in the data directory of the server on your linux box (the same place you found the server id), and should be named cert.id. You’ll have to ftp it over to the windows box you’re using as your admin workstation.
(Note: The cert.id is the most important file in the Domino security model. The physical security and backup of this file is essential. Store all copies of this file in secured locations, and delete the one from the server’s data directory. Some people like to change the filename for added security.)
You don’t need to create a CA, but you’re also right that in order to do so, you’d first have to have the cert.id.

You are the best. let me try that and get back to you. For some reason, I do not get your responses immediately.

Thank you very much I have now registerd users.
Next problem is now connecting using notes client or POP. Since POP is the easiest, i tried with it but I get errors:
Authentication failure for (eg. tsyengo), connection host 192.168.1.5: Password not found in the name and address Book entry or password did not verify.
I tried using telnet port 110.
Subject: RE: Authentication
Well, I don’t know about testing a POP session with a telnet session, but (a) you’ve got the right port number, and (b) the error message suggests that the internet password field in your person document is blank. Just type your desired password in there, and it will encrypt itself upon saving the document.

It worked, thanks Bruce. I appreciate your patience.
