UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6

Domino 5 registration servers and the Certification Log
The Certification Log records registration and user name information for a domain. In Domino 5, the Certification Log was optional. In Domino 6, the log is required. If you upgrade a Domino 5 registration server without a Certification Log, then you need to create a log manually. If you upgrade a Domino 5 server with a Certification Log, Domino 6 upgrades the log automatically.

After you create the log, replicate it to other registration servers in your domain and to every server with a Domino Directory that is used for user management.

To create a Certification Log

1. From the Domino Administrator, choose File - Database - New.

2. In the Server field, select the name of the server on which to create the log.

3. Enter Certification Log as the database title.

4. Enter CERTLOG.NSF as the database file name.

5. Choose a server that has the Certification Log template.

6. Click Show Advanced Templates, select Certification Log as the template, and then click OK.

7. Choose File - Database - Access Control, and assign Editor access to all administrators who register users and servers and recertify IDs.

For more information about the Certification Log, see the topic The Certification Log.
