dominoUNID operational attribute
The Domino 7 LDAP Service supports Universal Notes IDs (UNID) through 32-character values of the dominoUNID operational attribute. Designed for use with advanced LDAP applications, such as IBM Workplace, it allows them to uniquely identify documents in the Domino Directory even when the directory object's FullName/ListName (LDAP DN), ShortName (LDAP uid), or other normally identifying field values change.

If you are using IBM Workplace with Domino, you can use the dominoUNID attribute for mapping Workplace member entries in Websphere Member Manager (via its extId attribute) to LDAP person records.

While this attribute is fully available to customers deploying a new Domino 7 Domino Directory, those using existing Domino Directories will need to do the following to make dominoUNID fully available:

1. Reload the LDAP schema by using the tell ldap reloadschema command.

2. In the domain Configuration Settings document of the primary Domino Directory, click "Select Attribute Types" next to the setting "Choose fields that anonymous users can query via LDAP". The LDAP Attribute Type Selection dialog box appears. From here, you can either:

For information on the tell ldap reloadschema command, see LDAP Tell Commands.

For information on customizing anonymous LDAP search access information, see Using the domain Configuration Settings document to customize anonymous LDAP search access to a directory.
