About this task

These secondary directories are stored locally on the server running the LDAP service and are configured in the directory assistance database as follows:

Table 1. Secondary Domino Directory configuration

Domain	Naming rule	Search order
Domain B	*/*/*/*/*/*	1<nozeros>
Domain C	*/*/*/*/*/*	2<nozeros>
Domain D	*/*/*/DomainD/Renovations*	3<nozeros>

Note: If a directory is stored on a remote server, the LDAP service can send an LDAP referral to the client but cannot process the add operation remotely itself.

The following table provides examples of how the LDAP service processes add operations as a result of the above directory assistance configuration and different selections for the Rules to follow when this directory is the primary directory and there are multiple matches on the distinguished name being compared/modified LDAP service setting.

Table 2. How LDAP processes add operations using directory assistance

Name of entry being added	"Rules to follow" setting	Directory or directories to which entry added	Explanation
cn=Kate PowerŽ,ou=DomainD,o=Renovations	N/A	Domain D	Domain D directory is the only directory with a rule that most specifically matches a name added
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Renovations	Modify first match	Domain B	Rules for Domain B and C both match the name being added; entry added to Domain B because it has lower search order than Domain C.
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Renovations	Modify all matches	Domains B & C	Rules for Domain B and C both match the name being added; entry added to both directories.
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Renovations	Don't modify any	None	Rules for Domain B and C both match the name being added; entry not added.
