I am having a problem with a server agent that initiates a renamewebuser adminp request. The request is created, but has an error:
Title: Address Book File name: C:\Program Files\Lotus\Domino\data\names.nsf
Cannot rename John Doe/EDCS because a certifier did not authorize the name change.
Does anyone know what this error means?
Thanks
David
Subject: Problem with NotesAdministrationProcess and RenameWebUser
When you create users, server, etc with Notes, you do so using a Certifier.
In order to process a rename a user, you must also supply a certifier.
The message seems to indicates that a certifier was not used to initiate the rename request.
Look for the ‘RenameWebUser method’ in the Designer help - does your agent look similar to the example shown?
Disclaimer: I’ve never used RenameWebUser, but I do use RenameNotesUser via NotesAdministrationProcess class.
Subject: RE: Problem with NotesAdministrationProcess and RenameWebUser
I figured something out:
The users were registered as regular Notes users with a user id. But, they never access via a Notes client. Thus, I cannot use RenameNotesUser because it will require the user to accept name change via the Notes client. If I clear the Notes certified public key in the person record the RenameWebUser will work.
I guess I would need to convert all person records to a “web user.”

Correct.
Also, if they are not a ‘Notes’ user - (no certificate) you could also just update the person doc manually (or via an agent) - (that’s why I’ve never used RenameWebUser).

Why would you not want adminp to update groups, acl’s, etc?
Subject: RE: Problem with NotesAdministrationProcess and RenameWebUser
Touché
I guess I’ve been staying up too late and I wasn’t thinking that clearly.
In MY case, the only ‘webuser’ accounts are only shared mail accounts - not members of groups or for the most part ACLs - so I guess it didn’t occur to me!
Sorry!
And now I’m going to bed…
