CONFIGURING


Choosing the types of groups to aggregate in a directory catalog

The Group types directory catalog configuration option controls which types of groups the Dircat task aggregates.

About this task

By default, all groups aggregated into a directory catalog are assigned the type "Multi-purpose." For example, by default, a "Mail only" group in a Domino® directory becomes a "Multi-purpose" group in the directory catalog. To keep the group type definition you want for groups in a directory catalog, you add the GroupType field to the directory catalog configuration and select a value for it.

If your organization uses an HCL Notes® application to look up the members of Access Control List only, Servers only, or Deny List Only groups in an extended directory catalog, choose All or All in first directory only to add these types of groups to the directory catalog.

If the directory catalog you are configuring is an extended directory catalog servers use to look up groups to authorize users' database access, and these groups in the source HCL Domino Directories are defined as ACL only groups, choose All or All in first directory only to ensure the groups are aggregated.

Note: The Dircat task does not aggregate the LocalDomainServers and OtherDomainServers groups into a directory catalog because the servers listed in these groups cannot be used for mail addressing, and because excluding them improves performance of the Dircat task.
