Manages CA administration and roaming users
Creates and renames rooms and resources
Finds users, manages policies
Changes HTTP password
And much more……
What is AdminP? (cont’d.)
Resource deletions
Because the directory is affected
And in 6.5.4 and beyond
Name change reversions
Requirements for AdminP
Designed to be managed
Workflow requires attention/approval
AdminP settings
Interval – Default is 60 minutes (blank in server doc)
Can reduce as needed
15 minutes on administrative server is acceptable
Store Admin Process log entries when status of no change is recorded
Change from “Yes” to “No”
May affect troubleshooting
WILL reduce database size
By as much as 20%
Managing AdminP
AdminP settings
Delayed Request Settings
Default is Sunday
Consider running more often
This is Reader/Author name change
Delayed requests generate messages in server log
Set converter_log_level=10 in server ini file to shut off messages
Maximum number of threads
Multiple threads are supported
Default is 3, maximum is 10
One thread to dispatch requests
Three threads to process the requests
Threads are only activated when required to process request
Test incrementally if you increase
Demo
Processor intensive
Load AdminP
Starts AdminP task
Tuning AdminP
Speed up replication
Especially if you reduce interval timing
Skipping Databases
Reader/Author name renames take a long time
Resource intensive
Skip databases using $Adminp hidden view
Use selection formula to show only documents with Reader/Author fields
All others are skipped
If view is blank, entire database is skipped
Sample in pernames.ntf
Tuning AdminP
All files in data directory were restored to another server for the team to
wade through
Test server had been down for 2 years
!!!!!!!!
Old documents from Admin4 and the Domino directory replicated back in
User renames
Since ND6, users are no longer required to accept name changes
You asked for this feature
If a user doesn’t authenticate within 21 days, the name reverts
This must be approved in Domino 7
Unless user changes settings in user security
If the request gets stalled for any reason, the name change will generate a
request to fail back in 21 days
Most instances we’ve investigated are caused by replication problems
Most, but not all
Troubleshooting AdminP
User renames
Expired user ID will cause a stalled request
User renames
Will fail if public keys do not match
Error will be noted in a dialog box
Details will be in certlog.nsf
Remember, it’s required on the administration server
User renames
Change the internet name and short name
Short name must be typed manually
Watch for duplicates in your system
