PLANNING
HCL Domino® provides directory catalogs and directory assistance to help companies operate in environments with secondary directories.
A secondary directory is any server-based directory that is not a server's primary Domino Directory. A secondary directory can be a Domino Directory for a different Domino domain, a Domino Directory that you create manually from the pubnames.ntf template that is unaffiliated with a Domino domain, an extended directory catalog, or a remote LDAP directory.
Planning directory assistance Servers use directory assistance to look up information in a secondary directory -- a secondaryHCL Domino Directory, an extended directory catalog, or a remote LDAP directory.
Comparison of directory catalogs and directory assistance Using a condensed directory catalog on a server is no longer supported.
Directory search order The order in which HCL Notes and HCL Domino search directories depends on the nature of the search and the configuration of the directory.
Distinguished name syntax in multiple-directory environments For a multiple directory environment that include entries that reside in both HCL Domino and LDAP directories, it's important to understand in what contexts to use an HCL Notes distinguished name and in what contexts to use an LDAP D distinguished nameN (defined in RFC 2253).
