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.
LDAP schema
A directory entry contains information about a particular entity, or object -- for example, a person or a group -- and is associated with a distinguished name. An LDAP schema is a set of rules that define what can be stored as entries in an LDAP directory. Each LDAP directory has a default schema, which organizations can customize, or "extend," by adding elements to it. The elements of a schema are attributes, syntaxes, and object classes. LDAP directory servers provide the ability to enforce the schema to ensure that directory changes made using LDAP operations conform to it.
The Domino® LDAP schema
The default Domino® LDAP schema includes both Domino-specific and LDAP-standard elements.
dominoUNID operational attribute
The Domino® LDAP service supports Universal Notes® IDs (UNID) through 32-character values of the dominoUNID operational attribute. Designed for use with advanced LDAP applications, it allows them to uniquely identify documents in the Domino Directory even when the directory object's FullName/ListName (LDAP DN), ShortName (LDAP uid), or other normally identifying field values change.

About this task

While this attribute is fully available to customers deploying a Domino Directory for Domino 7 and later releases, those using Domino Directories created prior to Domino 7 will need to do the following to make dominoUNID fully available:

Procedure

Reload the LDAP schema by using the tell ldap reloadschema command.
In the domain Configuration Settings document of the primary Domino Directory, click Select Attribute Types next to the setting Choose fields that anonymous users can query via LDAP. The LDAP Attribute Type Selection dialog box appears. From here, you can either:
- add the dominoUNID attribute automatically by clicking Use Default Values. All default attributes for Anonymous users will be selected.
- manually add dominoUNID by choosing the wildcard class (*) in the Object Classes drop-down list. This option is recommended if you have customized your attribute list for Anonymous.
