Note Only CA administrators can modify a server-based CA. A CA administrator must have Editor access to the Lotus Domino Directory in order to modify a certifier.

To modify a certifier through the ICL

1. Shut down the CA process used by the certifier that you want to modify. At the server console, type:

tell ca quit

3. On the Tools pane, choose Certification - Modify Certifier.

4. Select the server that hosts the CA you want to modify, if necessary

5. Select the certifier to recover by doing one of the following:

• Select the certifier document from the Lotus Domino Directory.
• Select the certifier ICL database.
Note If the certifier is protected with a lock ID, you must unlock it in order to modify it.

• Method for activating the certifier ID
• CAs and RAs, and roles of current entries
• CRL distribution point extension (Internet certifiers only)
• Enable or disable backdating of certificate
• Certificate duration
• Certificate key usage (Internet certifiers only)
• CRL publication and duration (Internet certifiers only)

8. The time period in which the Administration Requests database processes CA requests will vary. If you want to hasten the process, at the console enter:

tell adminp process all

tell ca refresh

And then enter the following to see if the certifier has been modified:

tell ca stat

To modify a certifier through the Certifier document

To modify a Certifier document, you must have Editor access to the Lotus Domino Directory. Full-access administrators and administrators have this access by default; however, be sure that all certificate authority (CA) administrators also have this access.

1. From the Lotus Domino Administrator, click Configuration.

Note If the certifier is protected with a lock ID, you must unlock it in order to modify it.
• On the Basics tab, you can modify certifier name and issuer.
• Click "Modify CA configuration" to change CAA and RA associations.
