I have two Domino servers on two different Domino domains. Each server is the primary server for that domain.
I have created safe IDs on each server and have used them on the other domain’s server to cross-certify one another. I believe that the cross-certification has worked ok.
I’ve also created LAN and Sametime connection documents to the other server on each server.
When I perform a push to the other server I get messages saying that the ACLs do not allow for anyDB.nsf to be replicated on the other server. I suppose that this makes sense as the other server is a completely separate primary server and should therefore have its own database files.
My end goal is to be able to create Sametime meeting sessions between different Domino domains and also to be able to route mail between different Domino Domains.
Are there any other steps I need to carry out in order to be able to achieve this end goal?
Cheers to anyone who can help.

You need to make sure the other domain’s server in within the ACL. Though different domains (I don’t if you mean the same as Notes Name Network – as listed on the server document)server can still be under the hierarchy (organization levels).
I guess the hard thing for me to lend advice is how are you configured because you can servers in separate Notes Name Networks but the hierarchy of the organization and server could be same.
Could you explain more on what you mean by two different domino domains? Are the Server in distinct orgs or are they under the same org?

Thanx for your response Joe,
The two servers are in separate organisations, including domains.
i.e:
server1/orgunit1/domain1
and
server2/orgunit2/domain2
The ACL you mentioned in your post, would that be a servers’ Domino Directory ACL?
Cheers,
Diego.

DO each of these server have their own domino directory? Meaning that domain1 is totally unrelated to domain2 correct?
Because if you cross certify the 2 servers than you would have to manually type the server’s name in the ACL. So if you want to replicate a domino database than server2/orgunit2/domain2 would need to be in the ACL residing on server1/orgunit1/domain1. This really depends on if you are doing a push pull or just one (push or pull).
Cheers

Each server has its own Domino directory.
I’ve added to the names.nsf ACLs the other server to allow for writying/copying the file.
But if I then try doing a push/pull on names.nsf from server1/orgunit1/domain1, I get the following message:
Unable to replicate with server server2/orgunit2/domain2: None of the selected databases has a replica on the server.
I can understand why it would say this, as server2/orgunit2/domain2’s names.nsf file is its own and not a replica of server1/orgunit1/domain1’s names.nsf file.
Should these servers be allowed to replicate these nsf files? I would very much like to have server1’s directory on server2 as this would allow for a user on server2 to know about users on server1.

If you want to replicate these 2 then they have to be replicas. There is tools which you can use so that you can change the DBID to be a replica of the other servers. I can not remember the free tool (I think something like antrarid or something like that).
But you realize in do so you will have all the documents from each direction into one big directory. There is something called Master directory — I am wondering if this would give the same result.
HTH – Cheers
