Configuring LDAP and Domino connections

Configure the IBM® Sametime® Community Server to work with LDAP and Domino® directories.

  • Excluding certain domains from user and group directory lookups
    When you use Inbox awareness, you can prevent redundant requests to the LDAP or Domino directory by defining which domains are allowed to accept resolve requests. Previous releases allowed this filtering through the use of custom code and was available only for LDAP directories.
  • Specifying a user's login ID
    Specify an LDAP attribute that is appropriate for logging in to IBM Sametime. If you do not perform these steps, the default LDAP attribute, DN, is used.
  • Migrating older user IDs to a unique directory attribute
    If you are using an older release, you can migrate user IDs to a unique ID, so you do not need to run the name change utility when a person’s name changes in the directory. Having a constant user ID attribute eliminates the need to change a user ID when a name changes.
  • Creating custom Java classes for searching the LDAP
    Create custom Java classes that provide greater control over how the Sametime Community server conducts name searches of an LDAP directory and how results are formatted.
