Error creating ID Vault

I have tried twice now to set up an ID Vault on our system here, and it failed at the same point both times. I’m not clear on how to undo the parts that have already been done, and I don’t know how to get this to successfully complete.

Anyone run into this?

Here are the error messages:

THE CREATION OF THE NOTES ID VAULT ‘ASKVAULT’ FAILED WITH ERRORS.

In the process of creating the vault the following tasks have been run.

Created Notes ID vault Document

Created Notes ID vault Trust Certificates

Created Notes ID vault Password Reset Authorities

Created Notes ID vault ID file (C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\IDs\vault\askvault.id).

You can find the Notes ID vault document in the Security/ID vaults view of

the Domino directory.

Subject: Fixed

I was adding the server to the admin list, and apparently that is automatically done behind the scenes.

Subject: Deleting/Creating an ID vault

Hi Gary,

Do you know of any vault with the name “askvault” existing before the first time you tried creating the vault?

Try deleting the vault by doing the following:

  1. In the Domino Administrator, click on the Configuration tab. On the left side, click on Security - ID Vaults and select the vault you would like to delete. Then, on the right side, click on ID Vaults - Delete.

  2. Check that the vault database .nsf file has been deleted by looking in the IBM_ID_VAULT directory on the server. (Delete it if it is there.)

  3. Check that the vault document in the server directory has been deleted. (When you click on the Configuration tab, and then Security - ID Vaults, the vault document should not be there.) Delete it if it is still there.

Then, try creating the vault again.

Please let me know if that helps, if the proper documents (as indicated above) were deleted, or if you still have any problems. Thanks.
