Creating an organizational unit certifier ID
You can create up to four levels of organizational unit (OU) certifiers.
About this task
To create first-level OU certifier IDs, you use the organization certifier ID. To create second-level OU certifier IDs, you use the first-level OU certifier IDs, and so on.
Note: The registration server is the server that initially stores the Certifier document until the Domino® Directory replicates. If you have not specified a registration server in Administration Preferences, the registration server is by default:
- The local server if there is one and it contains a Domino Directory
- The server specified in NewUserServer setting of NOTES.INI
- The Administration server
