You specify the rules to follow when a directory is the
primary directory and there are multiple matches on the distinguished
name being compared or modified for all servers in the domain that
run the LDAP service.
About this task
The LDAP service uses the rules you configure to determine
how to responds in either of these situations:
- It receives an LDAP modify, modify DN, delete, or compare request
and finds more than one entry, within one directory or across directories,
with a distinguished name that matches the one specified in the request.
- It receives an LDAP add request and finds more than one IBM® Domino® Directory
enabled for LDAP clients in its directory assistance database with
a directory assistance naming rule that most specifically matches
the distinguished name specified in the request.
Note that if there
is no Domino Directory enabled
for LDAP clients in directory assistance with a rule that matches
the distinguished name specified in an add operation, the LDAP service
adds the entry to its primary Domino Directory.
If there is only one Domino Directory
enabled for LDAP clients in directory assistance with a rule that
matches the distinguished name specified in an add operation, the
LDAP service adds the entry to that directory.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator,
open the server that runs the LDAP service, or a server in the same
domain as the one that runs the LDAP service.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- In the navigation pane, expand Directory,
then LDAP, and then select Settings.
- Do one of the following:
- If you see the prompt
Unable to locate a Server Configuration
document for this domain. Would you like to create one now? click Yes,
then click the LDAP tab on the document.
- If you do not see the prompt, click Edit LDAP Settings.
- For the field Rules to follow when this directory
is the primary directory and there are multiple matches on the distinguished
name being compared/modified, choose how the LDAP service
responds in the two situations described in the section About
this task.

| Option |
Results |
| Don't modify any |
(default) Prevents the operation from occurring.
The LDAP service returns an error, and you can investigate the duplicate
names/naming rules. |
| Modify first match |
- Carries out the LDAP modify, delete, or compare operation on the
first entry encountered in a directory enabled for LDAP write operations
that matches the distinguished name specified in the operation.
- Carries out the LDAP add operation in the Domino Directory configured in directory assistance
database that is enabled for LDAP write operations and has the most
specific matching rule and the lowest search order
|
| Modify all matches |
- Carries out the LDAP modify, delete, or compare operation on all
the entries encountered that match the distinguished name specified
in the operation.
- Carries out the LDAP add operation in all the Domino Directories configured in the directory
assistance database with a matching rule that most specifically matches
the distinguished name specified in the add operation, and that are
enabled for LDAP write operations.
