Example of directory assistance for one secondary Domino Directory
Company X uses two domains, Domain A and Domain B. Each domain creates its own directory assistance database that has a Directory Assistance document for the other domain's Domino® Directory, so that users from each domain can address mail easily to users in the other domain, and so servers in each domain can search groups in the other domain's directory when authorizing database access. If servers in both domains instead used replicas of one directory assistance database that included documents for both directories, they could enable only one of the domain directories for group authorization.
About this task
Network connections between domains are slow, so the company creates replicas of the Domain B directory on two Domain A servers for servers in Domain A to use, and creates replicas of the Domain A directory on two Domain B servers for servers in Domain B to use.
The following table shows the settings for the Domain B Directory Assistance document in the directory assistance database that servers in Domain A use. Domain B uses a similar document for the Domain A directory in its directory assistance database.
