DIRECTORY SERVICES

Directory assistance and domain names
When you configure directory assistance for a directory you must configure a domain name for the directory that is unique within the directory assistance database. You use the "Domain name" field on the Basics tab of a Directory Assistance document to configure a directory's domain name.

If the directory is a remote LDAP directory, make up a unique domain name for the directory that is not the name of any Domino domain.

If the directory is the Domino Directory for a Domino domain -- Domino server setup created it -- specify the name of the directory's Domino domain.

If you created the directory manually from the PUBNAMES.NTF template, and so it is not associated with a Domino domain -- for example the directory is an Extended Directory Catalog, or a Domino Directory used to track Web user information -- do one of the following to specify a domain name for the directory:


Note If the domain name you specify for a Domino Directory or Extended Directory Catalog is the same as the domain of the servers that use the directory assistance database, the servers can use the directory automatically for client authentication, group lookups for database authorization, and Notes mail addressing, regardless if you select "Make this domain available to: Notes clients and Internet Authentication/Authorization." In addition, servers search a directory in the same domain first, regardless of the search order specified for the directory.
