CONFIGURING
You can set up Notes® clients to use more than one condensed directory catalog, set up servers to use more than one extended directory catalog, and set up groups of clients or servers to use separate directory catalogs.
Setting up Notes clients to use more than one condensed directory catalog
Set up two condensed directory catalogs on Notes clients, one that sorts entries by distinguished name (first name, then last name), and another that sorts entries by last name. Then, type-ahead addressing can locate names regardless of whether users begin addressing mail using first names or last names.
Setting up servers to use more than one extended directory catalog
You can set up a server to use more than one extended directory catalog. For example, suppose you want all servers to use directories A, B, C, D, and E, but to trust only directories A and B for client authentication. Aggregate A and B in an extended directory catalog that is trusted for authentication, and aggregate C, D, and E in another extended directory catalog that is not trusted it for authentication.
Setting up groups of clients and servers to use different directory catalogs
You can create multiple directory catalogs, and set up groups of clients or servers to use specific ones. For example, if user group 1 sends mail only to users registered in directories A, B, and C, and user group 2 sends mail only to users registered in directories D and E, use the following procedure.
About this task
You can set up servers to use specific extended directory catalogs in a similar manner.
Procedure
Create a client-based condensed directory catalog that aggregates A, B, and C for group 1 to use, and create another condensed directory catalog that aggregates D and E for group 2 to use.
