- Using directory servers in a Domino domain
AnHCLDomino® domain is a network of clients and servers whose users, servers, connections, and access control information is described in a single database called theDomino® Directory. When you set up the first server in an organization,Domino® creates aDomino® domain and aDomino® Directory for the domain. When you add servers to the domain they pull replicas of theDomino® Directory. To create an additional domain andDomino® Directory, you perform a first server setup.
- Using a central directory architecture in a Domino domain
A central directory architecture is an optional directory architecture you can implement in anHCLDomino® domain. This architecture differs from the traditional distributed directory architecture in which every server in a domain has a full replica of the primaryDomino® Directory.
- Planning LDAP features
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a standard Internet protocol for searching and managing entries in a directory.
- Planning directory access control
Use the database ACL to control the general access that users andHCLDomino® servers have to theDomino® Directory. Optionally, use an extended ACL to refine the general database ACL and further restrict access to specific portions of the directory. An extended ACL is available for only aDomino® Directory and an extended directory catalog.
- Planning new entries in the Domino Directory
The tools you can use to add entries to theHCLDomino® Directory are theHCLNotes® user registration program, migration tools that are integrated with theNotes® user registration program,Domino® directory synchronization tools, and third-party LDAP applications. You can also add an entry manually, for example you typically add a group entry manually. You might also develop a customNotes® application to add entries.
- Planning the management of entries in the Domino Directory
You can use theHCLDomino® Administrator, directory synchronization tools, and third-party LDAP applications to manage entries in theDomino® Directory.
- Planning directory services for Notes clients
There are a variety of directory services features available toHCLNotes® clients.
- Planning directory services in a multiple-directory environment
HCLDomino® provides directory catalogs and directory assistance to help companies operate in environments with secondary directories.
- Planning internationalized directory services
Options are provided for internationalized directory services.
- Planning directory customization
You can add forms and views to theHCLDomino® Directory to accommodate specific needs of your company. If you use the LDAP service, you can also use theDomino® LDAP Schema database (schema.nsf) to define new object classes and attributes to be added to the directory.
