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.
Using the Domino® Directory to extend the LDAP schema
To add schema elements to the Domino® LDAP schema, you can create forms and subforms in the Domino Directory, or you can use the Domino LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF).
Using the Domino® Directory to create a new LDAP structural object class
You can add a form and associated subforms to the Domino® Directory to define a new LDAP structural object class in the LDAP schema and to enable documents created from the form to be LDAP-accessible. The preferred method for extending the schema is to use the Domino LDAP Schema database, however. Use the Domino Directory to extend the schema only if Notes® or Web users require access to the new entries defined by the schema elements through documents in the directory.

Using the Domino Directory to create a new LDAP structural object class

You can add a form and associated subforms to the Domino® Directory to define a new LDAP structural object class in the LDAP schema and to enable documents created from the form to be LDAP-accessible. The preferred method for extending the schema is to use the Domino LDAP Schema database, however. Use the Domino Directory to extend the schema only if Notes® or Web users require access to the new entries defined by the schema elements through documents in the directory.

About this task

If you do not need documents created from a form to be LDAP-accessible -- for example, you don't run the LDAP service in the domain and are sure you won't in the future -- you can create a new form without following these steps.

To add a new form to the Domino Directory to define an LDAP structural object class:

Procedure

Create a form for the structural object class.
Create and insert an associated $xxxInheritableSchema subform into the form to define the attributes for the object class.
Optional: Create and insert an associated $xxxExtensibleSchema subform into the $xxxInheritableSchema subform to support adding an auxiliary object class to the structural object class. You must also create a view for displaying the object class entries to Notes and Web users.

Results

Inserting a subform into an ExtensibleSchema subform or inserting an ExtensibleSchema subform into an InheritableSchema subform are the only instances in which nesting subforms -- that is, inserting a subform within another subform -- is acceptable.
