IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
    - The Domino® Directory
      The Domino® Directory, which some previous releases referred to as the Public Address Book or Name and Address Book, is a database that Domino creates automatically on every server. The Domino Directory is a directory of information about users, servers, and groups, as well as custom entries you may add. Registering users and servers in a domain automatically creates corresponding Person documents and Server documents in the Domino Directory for the domain. These documents contain detailed information about each user and server.
    - The LDAP service
      Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a standard Internet protocol for searching and managing entries in a directory, where an entry has one or more attributes associated with a distinguished name. A distinguished name -- for example, cn=Phyllis Spera,ou=Sales,ou=East,o=Renovations -- is a name that identifies an entry within a directory tree.
    - LDAP schema
      A directory entry contains information about a particular entity, or object -- for example, a person or a group -- and is associated with a distinguished name. An LDAP schema is a set of rules that define what can be stored as entries in an LDAP directory. Each LDAP directory has a default schema, which organizations can customize, or "extend," by adding elements to it. The elements of a schema are attributes, syntaxes, and object classes. LDAP directory servers provide the ability to enforce the schema to ensure that directory changes made using LDAP operations conform to it.
    - ldapsearch utility
      Domino® and Notes® provide a command-line search utility, LDAPSEARCH.EXE, that you use to search entries in any LDAP directory. The ldapsearch utility connects to a directory server and returns results that match search criteria you specify. It is available on Domino server and Notes client platforms.
      - Table of ldapsearch parameters
        The following table describes the case-sensitive parameters you can use with ldapsearch.
      - Using search filters with ldapsearch
        You must use a search filter to specify the attributes for which to search.
        Table of operators used in ldapsearch search filters
        There are a number of operators you can use in ldap searches.
      - Using ldapsearch to return operational attributes
        You can use the plus sign (+) with ldapsearch to return all the operational attributes for entries. Operational attributes are attributes used for directory administration, and a directory server only returns them if you request them.
      - Examples of using ldapsearch
        The following examples us the ldapsearch utility.
    - Directory assistance
      Directory assistance allows a server to look up information in a directory other than a local primary Domino® Directory (NAMES.NSF).
    - Directory catalogs
      A directory catalog is an optional directory database that typically contains information aggregated from multiple Domino® directories. Clients and servers can use a directory catalog to look up mail addresses and other information about the people, groups, mail-in databases, and resources throughout an organization, regardless of the number of Domino domains and Domino Directories the organization uses.
    - Extended ACL
      An extended access control list (ACL) is an optional directory access-control feature available for a directory created from the PUBNAMES.NTF template -- a Domino® Directory or an extended directory catalog. An extended ACL is tied to the database ACL, and you access it through the Access Control List dialog box using a Notes® or Domino Administrator client.
    - Setting up Domino® Active Directory synchronization
      When the Domino® server is installed on a Microsoft™ Windows™ 2003 server, as an administrator, you typically need to maintain two separate directories for the same set of people and groups. Maintaining user and group information involves adding entries to both directories, deleting entries, ensuring that passwords are the same when users use Notes® Single Logon, coordinating group membership in both directories, and ensuring that user or group settings, such as email addresses and telephone numbers, are identical.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.
- Securing
  This section describes IBM® Domino® security features, including execution control lists, IDs, and SSL.
- Administering
  This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
- Tuning
  Use this information to improve IBM® Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
- Troubleshooting
  This section describes how to find and solve problems with IBM® Domino® server and Administrator client.

Table of operators used in ldapsearch search filters

There are a number of operators you can use in ldap searches.

About this task

Table 1. Operators to use in a search filter
Operator	Use to	Example
=	Find entries that contain an attribute with a value equal to a specified value	"cn=John Browning"
= <string>*<string>	Find entries that contain an attribute with a value equal to a specified substring	"cn=John" "cn=JBrown"
>=	Find entries that contain an attribute with a value that is numerically or alphabetically greater than or equal to a specified value	"cn>=D"
<=	Find entries that contain an attribute with a value that is numerically or alphabetically less than or equal to a specified value	"roomNumber<=300"
=*	Find entries that contain a value for a specified attribute, regardless of the attribute value.	"sn=*"
~=	Find entries that contain an attribute with a value approximately equal to a specified value.	"sn~=Brning" could return sn=Browning
&	Find entries that meet the criteria specified in all search filters	"(&(cn=John Browning)(l=Dallas))"
\|	Find entries that meet the criteria specified in at least one specified search filter	"(\|(cn=John Browning)(l=Dallas))"
