First of all, I am not quite sure that is this problem only occurred in the server configuration stated above.
I face the problem that when I run the domino server as service (by Local system account) in Windows XP, it always reports an error during server startup. The error is :
14/04/2003 16:48:53 DIIOP Server: Error reading server keyring 'D:\Lotus\Domin
Subject: Solution: Change owner of SSL certificate
I had problems with a Domino 6.0.2 CF2 on my laptop. I use it for development, serving up large database (like this forum) The server code is much faster and more stable. Run it as a service, so it runs as SYSTEM.
What really annoys me though is that it unless I give SYSTEM full access, it will not use selfcert.kyr. And when I give it full access, it insists on removing all acces but for the owner.
Solution: make the Administrators group owner of selfcert.kyr, and add SYSTEM to the Administrators group.
Another option would be to create a special user to run the service, and assign ownership of selfcert.kyr to that user. This has the added (dis)advantage of not showing the Domino console. Whatever suits your preference.
Could y’all give feedback how this has helped you?
