Directory assistance for the primary Domino Directory
A server with a local replica of its primary Domino® Directory searches the directory automatically without the use of directory assistance.
About this task
You can configure directory assistance for the primary Domino Directory of servers that use a directory assistance database to:
- Tell servers with Configuration Directories that use the directory assistance database how to locate a remote replica of the primary Domino Directory.
- Prevent the LDAP service from searching the primary Domino Directory.
If multiple domains use replicas of one directory assistance database, you might also create a Directory Assistance document for the primary Domino Directory so that servers in other domains that use the directory assistance database can do lookups in the directory.
Note: You
cannot prevent a server from using its primary Domino Directory for Notes® mail addressing, client authentication,
or group lookups for database authorization. A server can always use
a primary Domino Directory
for these purposes, regardless of the options you select for the directory
in the Directory Assistance document.
