Make sure a Domino ID vault is configured on a Domino 12 or higher server. Nomad user IDs will be stored in the vault. See the following topics in the Domino documentation:

Decide on TLS certificates

If the Nomad clients will be talking directly to the Nomad server on Domino, acquire a trusted TLS certificate for the Nomad server on Domino. For more details, see Configuration options for the Nomad server on Domino.
Otherwise, whatever proxy the Nomad clients are talking to needs the trusted TLS certificate. See your proxy's documentation for further details.
