CONFIGURING
To set up directory assistance for an HCL Domino® Directory or an extended directory catalog, create a Directory Assistance document for the directory in the directory assistance database.
Before you begin
Before you create a Directory Assistance document:
Do not create a Directory Assistance document for a condensed Directory Catalog.
Procedure
1. From the Domino Administrator, choose File -> Open Server, and select a server that you have set up to use the directory assistance database.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. In the navigation pane, expand Directory -> Directory Assistance. If you see Server Error: File does not exist, the server you selected is not set up to use the directory assistance database.
4. Click Add Directory Assistance.
5. On the Basics tab, complete these fields:
Note: When the Domain type is Notes, the LTPA_Usernm attribute is used as the name for the SSP token.
If the domain specified in the Domain name field is the same Domino domain (the primary domain) of the servers that use directory assistance, the servers use the directory for these three services automatically, even if you do not choose this option. If you are using a configuration directory server, you can then make this option equal to the primary address book domain and have the secondary address book available through directory assistance.
Enable this option in only one Directory Assistance document, Notes or LDAP, in the directory assistance database.
If the domain specified in the Domain name field is the same Domino domain (the primary domain) of the servers that use directory assistance, the servers use the directory to look up groups for database authorization automatically, even if you choose No for this option.
Refer to the related topics for more information on directory assistance and group lookups for database authorization.
Choose Yes to allow directory assistance to use this directory exclusively for Group Authorization or Credential Authentication. Enabling this will minimize the number of non-authentication and non-authorization lookups to this directory.
Refer to the related topics for more information on limiting directories to authentication-only lookups.
Note: You can enable or disable directory assistance from the main view of the Directory Assistance database by selecting the directory assistance record for the directory and, on the toolbar, clicking Enable or Disable.
If the domain specified in the Domain name field on the Basics tab is the same Domino domain (the primary domain) of the servers that use directory assistance, the servers trust all user names in the directory for client authentication, even if you do not choose this option.
