What steps are necessary to copy a Certified Public Key from a Lotus Notes ID file? In early releases of Notes, this was simply done by selecting Tools -> User ID -> Copy Public Key.
To copy a Certified Public Key from a Notes ID file using the Notes 6.5.x client, perform the following steps from the Domino Administration client:
- From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
- From the Tools pane, click Certification -> ID properties.
- Select and open the ID file to be examined, then enter the password (Person ID -> Server ID or Certificate ID).
- From the ID Properties window, select Your Identity, then select Your Certificates.
- Select the Other Actions button and select Mail / Copy Certificates (Public Key)
- Click the Copy Certificate button. If this is a remote user they can select Mail Certificate. This will copy the entire public key to the clipboard.
- Paste the public key into the associated Person document in the People view of the administration client.
Have the end user select the following options to mail the administrator a copy of their public key:
File -> Security -> User Security -> Your identity -> Your Certificates -> Other Actions -> Mail, copy certificate (public key)... -> Mail Certificate -> fill out "To" -> Send. |
