Naming Domino servers on a Novell Directory Service network
In NetWare Directory Services (NDS), Domino server names are the path from the root of the NDS tree to the Domino server NDS object, in distinguished name format. For example, if a Domino server name is Chicago/Midwest/Acme, its NDS name is CN=Chicago.OU=Marketing.O=Acme.

Within NDS, names must be unique. Although using the NDS distinguished name guarantees uniqueness in NDS -- even if two Domino servers have the same common name -- it's best to specify unique common names for Domino servers to ensure uniqueness in all name services you are using.

To name a Domino server that uses NDS, choose a common name that contains no more than 64 characters. Distinguished names can contain up to 256 characters and can include the name types CN, OU, O, and C; periods; and equal signs. Do not use any of the following in Domino server names that use NDS: space ( ), slash (/), backslash (\), colon (:), semicolon (;), plus (+), comma (,), asterisk (*), question mark (?).

Names in NDS are not case sensitive.
