Creating a Cross-domain Configuration document

The Cross-domain Configuration document specifies how a domain exchanges and processes administration requests.

About this task

Create Cross-domain Configuration documents to enable a server in one domain to mail administration requests to a server in another domain. Set up the Cross-domain Configuration document after you specify an administration server for the Domino® Directory in each domain. The Cross-domain Configuration document is stored in the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF).

Procedure

  1. Make sure that you have already set up the necessary Connection documents and cross certificates to allow communication between the servers.
  2. From the Domino® Administrator, choose Server > Analysis > Administration Requests.
  3. In the Cross Domain Configuration view, click Add Configuration.
  4. On the Configuration Type tab, select one of these:
    • Inbound to create an inbound request configuration
    • Outbound to create an outbound request configuration
  5. If you selected Inbound in Step 4, click Inbound Request Configuration and then complete these fields:
    Table 1. Inbound Request Certification fields
    Field Enter

    • Delete Server in Address Book
    • Get Replica Information for Deletion
    • Rename Person in Address Book
    • Rename Server in Address Book
    Only allow Create Replica requests if intended for one of the following servers Server names in your current domain that will accept Create Replica requests from other domains.

    This field displays if the Create Replica request is selected.

    List of approved signers Names of approved signers -- that is, a trusted signer for the request type for the destination domain. An inbound request is rejected if it is signed by someone who is not a trusted signer.

    If you selected Create Replica requests for List of AdminP requests allowed from other domains, the request's author is required to have Create Replica access to the destination server. Create Replica requests must be signed by the source server.

    Table 2. Outbound Request Configuration fields
    Field Enter
    Domains to submit AdminP requests to The name of one domain to which the server will send requests. If you need to send AdminP requests to multiple domains, create a separate Cross-Domain Configuration document for each domain to which you will send requests.

    • Create Replica
    • Delete Person in Domino Directory
    • Delete Server in Domino Directory
    • Get Replica Information for Deletion

    • Rename Server in Domino Directory
    • Update Delegated User's Mailfile
    Only submit these requests ... if the destination server is one of the following Server names to which you will send Create Replica requests. Also enter the domain names in which the servers reside.

    This field displays if the Create Replica or Update Delegated User's Mailfile request is selected.
