How the LDAP service forms a value for the mail attribute

The LDAP service forms a value for the mail attribute by searching for information in a number of places.

To return a value for the mail attribute for a Person, Group, Mail-In Database, or Resource document, the LDAP service searches for the following:

1. A fully formed Internet address in one of these fields, in the order indicated:

Internet Address (InternetAddress)

b. Short Name (ShortName) -- If the Internet Address Lookup field on Conversions tab of a Global Domain document is disabled, the LDAP service does not look for a short name.

c. Forwarding address (MailAddress) -- Forwarding address is the label for this field for Notes® mail users, but the label is different if another mail system is specified for a user.

2. Address conversion rules specified in SMTP Address Conversion section on the Conversions tab of a Global Domain document.

Note:

If your organization uses more than one Global Domain document, the LDAP service refers to the conversion rules specified in the default document as designated by the

Use as default Global Domain

field on the Basics tab.

3. A DNS domain name retrieved from the operating system of the machine on which the LDAP service runs. The syntax is:

user's hierarchical name

%

notesdomain

@

hostname

For example, Samantha Daryn/Marketing/East/Renovations%Renovations@renovations.com

Note: If an extended ACL denies an LDAP service access to the LDAP mail attribute or the corresponding Domino® InternetAdress field, the LDAP service cannot complete the preceding process and is unable to return a value for the mail attribute.
