Unable to register a Lotus Notes/Domino User ID

I’ve a problem trying to register a Lotus Notes User ID. The Lotus Notes Admin Client hangs when trying to do so.

I launch the Admin Client and Click on the Register option under People. The system prompts for the cert id password. After the password is keyed in the Admin Client hangs. The register User Dialogbox does not appear.

The Admin Client has been installed on the same Server machine.

I’ve checked the necessary Access Control and User Roles in the names.nsf on the Domino Server. The user id trying to register has Manager Access to the database and has the Create User role enabled.

This problem does on occur when the network is set to Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

I suspect that the server machine is trying to access another machine or Domino Server for some reason, when trying to register a user.

I checked the domino directory but did not find another registration server.

Is there some setting in the Domino Directory or elsewhere that needs to be checked or changed.

Subject: Do not install the Admin Client on the Server

It is highly recommended that you do not install the Notes Admin Client onto the Same server as the Domino Server is installed. This can cause issues.

Install the client onto your workstation where your Notes Client is installed and ty that.
