Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring directory services
This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
The Domino® Directory
The Domino® Directory, which some previous releases referred to as the Public Address Book or Name and Address Book, is a database that Domino creates automatically on every server. The Domino Directory is a directory of information about users, servers, and groups, as well as custom entries you may add. Registering users and servers in a domain automatically creates corresponding Person documents and Server documents in the Domino Directory for the domain. These documents contain detailed information about each user and server.
The Domino® Directory template
The default Domino® Directory template (PUBNAMES.NTF) controls the appearance and functionality of the Domino Directory database (NAMES.NSF). Domino uses the forms and settings in the default Domino Directory template to control features -- for example, mail, server tasks, and access control -- and to store critical information that manages server connections, mail routing, and system configuration.
Applying template customization to the Domino® Directory database
After you customize a copy of the IBM® Domino® Directory template, you must complete this procedure to apply the design changes to the Domino Directory database, which is usually (NAMES.NSF).

About this task

These steps use Acme's Domino Directory and ACMENAMES.NTF as the title and file name for the copy of the Domino Directory template used to customize the directory. Where Acme appears, substitute the names associated with the copy of the Domino Directory template you created.

Procedure

Make sure you have Designer or Manager access to the Domino Directory database, which usually has the file name NAMES.NSF.
Open the Domino Directory database (NAMES.NSF).
Choose File > Application > Replace Design.
Click Template Server, and select the server that stores Acme's Domino Directory (RENOVNAMES.NTF) template.
Click Show advanced templates to display the Renovations Domino Directory template in the templates box, and select the template.
Verify that the Inherit future design changes field is selected, and then click Replace.
