What is Administration Process?
The Administration Process (AdminP) is a Domino task that runs on the
server to execute housekeeping, maintenance, and administrative
tasks.
For example, if you delete a user, the Administration Process locates thatuser's name in the Domino Directory and removes it, locates andremoves the user's name from ACLs, and makes any other necessarydeletions for that user. If you want to delete all replicas of a database,
the Administration Process finds the replicas on servers in the domainand provides an interface for deleting them.

Administrative Tasks
Name management tasks:Rename person, rename group, deleteperson, delete group, delete server name, recertify users, and store
Internet certificate.
Mail file management tasks:Delete mail file and move mail file.
Server document-management tasks: Store CPU count, store
platform, and place network protocol information in Server document.
Roaming user management:Roaming user setup, move roaming
users to other servers, upgrade a non-roaming user to roaming status,and downgrade roaming user to non-roaming status.

Administrative Tasks
User mail file management tasks: Performing Access Control List(ACL) changes and enabling agents. For example, the "Out of Office"
agent is enabled and disabled by IBM Lotus Notes client users.
Person document management tasks:Storing the user's Notes
version and client platform information.
Replica management tasks: Create replica, move replica, or delete
all replicas of a database

AdminP server task
The AdminP server task runs on all Domino servers. This task loads
when the Domino server is first started
AdminP is controlled through :
Notes.ini variable

AdminP server task
The AdminP server task wakes up on periodic time intervals and
executes commands waiting in the Administration Request database.
Each command placed in the Administration Request database has an
assigned proxy action. These proxy actions are essentially the Op-code
that runs the Administration Process.
Each command placed in the Administration Request database is
represented by a document. Each document has a number of fields,
including one called ProxyAction.
After each action has completed on a server, a response document is
Created to indicate the status of that request.

Administrator client
The Administrator client has all of the tools needed to initiate theAdminP commands. These include renaming and deleting users, deleting
a replica, moving a database, and moving a user from one hierarchy to
another.

Notes client
Notes client can initiate and complete different administration
Processes
Accept user name changes and x509v3 certificates into the Notes.id file.
Initiate calendar ACL delegation.
Involved with the process to move a user to another server.
It can issue a request to change the user's password and/or synchronize hisNotes.id and Web password
Client can automatically accepts ID recovery information without user prompts

Domino Directory
The Domino Directory provides part of the instructions used with
AdminP. For instance, when a user is renamed, the certificate information
Is changed. This is stored in a Person document in the Domino
Directory. When the renaming process is in progress, this is indicated inthe Person document under the Change Request field. Each person's
name is stored in various fields in the Person document. When a user is
renamed, both the old name and new name are stored.
Every server has a Server document that controls how the server is
managed. Every Server document has a section on AdminP parameters.

Domino Directory
AdminP commands affect Domino Directory information, including:
Resource names
Clusters
Person documents, including client information
HTTP password synchronization
Group updates and deletions
Server information (protocol and version)
Policies
Certificate Authority (CA) configuration
License tracking

Certification log
The Certification log database (certlog.nsf) is created when you install
The first server in a domain. The Certification log records certification-
Related activities from Domino, including new user and server
registration, user recertification's and renames, and user moves from one
Organization level certifier to another
AdminP requires a Certification log on each server to initiate
administration requests.

Administration server
Every database must have an Administration server assigned to it,
listed in the database's ACL. This includes the Domino Directory. The
Administration server setting tells AdminP where to process each
database. The Administration server appears in the ACL with a key icon
next to its name. In each domain, there is a single Primary Administrationserver. The Primary Administration server is determined by the value in
the ACL of the Domino Directory (names.nsf).

Administration Request database
This database contains all requests for a single domain. Every
request (via a proxy action) placed in the Administration Request
database replicates to every server in the domain.
Each Administration Request database in a domain has the samereplica ID and must replicate to all other servers in the domain that run
AdminP. This allows one server to post a request and another to respond
to it.
When an additional server in a domain is set up, the Administration
Request database is copied from the registration server to the new
server.

Administration Request database
For example: The command to recertify a user in the DominoDirectory (proxy action 10) can be issued to any server in the
domain. The command replicates to the Primary Administration
server, where it executes. The process is started in the
Administrator client when you request that a user be recertified.

Proxy Action
Every documents in the Admin request database is controlled
by set of commands called Proxy action.
Each Proxy action has a unique number assigned to it.
Version R5 has 82 different proxy actions, Version 6 retained
all the proxy actions available in previous releases and In
addition, to it 83 new proxy actions were introduced in R6, and
two additional proxy action where introduced in R6.5 all these
proxy action are available in R7.

Proxy Action
Each AdminP request can create a response document calledthe Process Log. The response document shows if an AdminP
request completed successfully or failed with an error message.
Most proxy actions are created on the Primary Administration
server. Some can be initiated on a spoke Administration server
For example, if you rename a user, the primary request is issued by
AdminP at the Primary Administration server. In this example, a proxy
action 6 (move person's name in hierarchy) is created on the PrimaryAdministration server. You approve the name change and the Primary
Administration server creates a proxy action 8 (initiate a rename in the
Domino Directory). AdminP updates the public key and also updates the
Certificate Request field in the Person document.
