Note For recovery to work, the administrator ID and the user ID must have key sizes of 1024 or less.
There are two ways that users can update their user IDs with recovery information:
To send recovery information to the user
The administrator completes these steps.
1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab, and then click Certification.
2. Click Edit Recovery Information.
3. In the Choose a Certifier dialog box, if the correct server name does not appear, click Server and select the registration server name from the Domino Directory.
4. Choose the certifier for which you are creating recovery information.
6. Complete these fields, and then click Send:
New ID file recovery information is attached. Please add it to your ID file by using the Actions menu "Accept Recovery Information" option.
The user completes these steps.
1. After the administrator sends the recovery information, open the message in your mail database.
2. Choose Actions - Accept Recovery Information, and then enter your password.
3. Complete these fields, and then click Send.
Note You can store multiple copies of the ID file in the centralized mail or mail-in database. Domino creates a new document every time an ID file is backed up. When attempting to recover an ID file, use the most recent backup. If this fails, use the older versions.
Use the Notes.ini variable ID_Recovery_Suppress_Recovery to suppress the creation of the recovery memo, if you want to suppress the standard message that appears on the recovery email and replace it with a custom message.
