SECURING
If you can route mail to the organization that will cross-certify a user, server, or certifier ID, you can use HCL Notes® mail to add a Notes cross-certificate. For cross-certification to work, these steps must be carried out twice, with each organization alternately requesting cross-certification. You cannot use these procedures to create an Internet cross-certificate.
