Description

According to the HCL product documentation:
Default: 30 — Value: <seconds> — Command-line equivalent: -i — Description: Configures the interval to wait between processing requests.
CertMgr_Interval defines how many seconds the Certificate Manager (CertMgr) waits between processing individual certificate requests. The parameter controls how aggressively CertMgr works through its task queue — such as newly arriving ACME requests, renewal checks, or health checks.
A smaller value results in faster reaction but increases the load on the CertMgr task and possibly on external CAs (rate limiting at Let's Encrypt). A larger value reduces load but delays the activation of freshly stored TLS credentials.

Example configuration

CertMgr_Interval=30

Notes & pitfalls

  • CertMgr exists since HCL Domino 12 — on older versions (≤ 11.x) the parameter has no effect.
  • Value in seconds, not minutes.
  • Command line (-i <seconds>) overrides the notes.ini value.
  • For Let's Encrypt setups: the default of 30 is normally fine. Intervals that are too short can trigger ACME rate limits.
  • Applies globally to all CertMgr processing steps (requests, renewals, health checks).
