ADMINISTERING
You can organize databases in folders.
When organizing databases on a server, you can:
Directory links
You can store databases in a directory outside the Domino data directory to take advantage of disk space available on other servers. Then you create a link in the Domino data directory that points to that directory. In the Domino data directory, users see the directory link MKTG.DIR as the subdirectory MKTG, with a directory folder icon next to it. Users who do not have access to a linked directory can see the directory link, but cannot access the directory.
You can use a directory link on a Web server to point browser users to a directory outside the Domino data directory. When you create this link, you must specify access for browser users -- for example, you can specify access for anonymous users or enter the names of users who use name-and-password or TLS client authentication.
Database links
You can store a single database outside the Domino data directory and create a database link to it from the Domino data directory. A database link appears in the Domino data directory as a database icon followed by the name of the linked database.
You can use a database link on a Web server to point browser users to a database in a directory outside the Domino data directory. If the database link points to a database on another server, browser users cannot access the database.
