Cross certification in between two servers

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

I have a single domain and that domain contains two servers. I want both the server should be able to use the databases exist on each other.

Basically my requirement is → I have one field ‘server name’, in which data is coming from NAB. I want when I open the NAB all the server name exist on a single domain should be visible. Currently what happens when I open the NAB, it shows me only the current server name.

I went through so many artical and found that when we create first server in a domain, Domino automatically creates names.nsf, when we create second server in the same domain then domino automatically creates a replica copy of names.nsf from the first server and these copies will be kept synchronized through periodic replication across the domain.

(Note : In my case server1 and server2’s names.nsf have different replica ID.)

Problems :

  1. In NAB entries Only current server name is visible though I want to show all the server’s name exist on a single domain.

  2. Both servers are not able to communicate each other. When I try to access the first server’s names.nsf at second server then it shows me an error saying : “The public key that is being used does note match the one that was certified. Check the Local log file for details.”

Please assist me how to get all the server’s name exist on a single domain in NAB entries and how to cross certify two servers.

Thanks & Regards,

Suchita

sounds like you did not properly setup the servers from the getgo. I would recommend getting a consultant in to assist you. You are probably better off starting over from scratch rather than trying to fix what you’ve already done. If your names.nsf files have different replica IDs then you essentially have 2 domains and it doesn’t sound like that’s what you want.

If the two servers do not have replicas of names.nsf (i.e. the replica IDs are different), then you almost surely created two separate domains. If these are new servers without existing data, then the best thing to do is to start over with the second server. Follow these basic steps and refer to Admin Help for more information.

  1. Register the new second server (this is done in the first server’s address book)

  2. Install the new second server

  3. In the server setup program, set up the new second server as an additional server. You will point to the first server to create a new replica of names.nsf.
