Notes 8.5.3
|
Your User ID comes with a IBM® Lotus Notes® Multi-purpose certificate and a Lotus Notes International certificate. They are valid for a period of time and then need to be renewed before they expire.
If a certificate is not renewed by the expiration date, it becomes invalid. If your Lotus Notes Multi-purpose certificate is not renewed by the expiration date, you are able to start Lotus Notes but cannot login to any Lotus Notes server. At this point, you must contact your administrator.
When you renew your certificate, you are just changing the expiration date of the certificate. Your public and private keys stay the same. Because your private key doesn't change, your administrator may renew your certificates without your intervention. If your administrator does not renew certificates automatically, you receive a prompt when your certificates are about to expire.
