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.
Customizing the Domino® Directory template
The IBM® Domino® Directory template is supplied with the Domino server install kit and used to control aspects of the master Domino Directory, which controls client access to a variety of functionality.

When upgrading to a new release, review the technote Notes and Domino 10 upgrade guide on the HCL Support Site.

These steps provide a roadmap for customizing the Domino Directory template. Complete the following procedures:

Creating a copy of the Domino Directory template (pubnames.ntf).
Reviewing the rules for customizing the Domino Directory.
Customizing a visible view in the Domino Directory.
Using the Domino Directory to extend the schema.
Note: Using the Domino LDAP Schema database, rather than the Domino Directory, is the recommended method for extending the schema.
Applying the customization to the Domino Directory.
