Enabling support for a native Domino Directory on AIX, Linux, or Windows

If your IBM® Sametime® Community Server uses a native IBM Domino® Directory instead of an LDAP directory, you must enable support for the Domino Directory in Sametime.

Procedure

Complete one of the following tasks to enable support for the Domino Directory in Sametime:

If you specified the Domino Directory (or one of its replicas) in the Connect to LDAP Server prerequisite activity on the Sametime System Console, make sure that the Domino server hosting the Domino Directory will allow Sametime to access the Directory with the LDAP protocol. This step is required to allow the Sametime System Console to access the Domino Directory and assign user policies:
1. Open the Domino server's notes.ini file.
2. Add the LDAP task to the ServerTasks flag.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Restart the Domino server.
If you specified a different LDAP directory in the "Connect to LDAP Server" prerequisite activity on the Sametime System Console, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that both the specified LDAP directory and the native Domino Directory used by the Community Server include the same set of users.
2. Synchronize the directories to allow the Sametime Community Server to identify the users IDs referenced in policy assignments, and then locate those users in the native Domino Directory. When you run a synchronization the following tasks are performed to match the user names in the LDAP directory with the user names in the native Domino Directory.
  1. Copy the user's Distinguished Name value from the LDAP directory specified by the Sametime System console.
  2. In the Domino Directory, edit the matching user entry.
  3. Click the Administration tab.
  4. In the LTPA user name field, add the Distinguished Name value that you copied from the LDAP directory, replacing each comma (,) with a forward slash (/).
    For example, the distinguished name in the LDAP might look like this:
```
uid=scarter,o=people,o=someorganization
```
    and you format it in the Domino Directory like this:
```
uid=scarter/o=people/o=someorganization
```
  5. Save the modified user entry.
  6. Close the Domino Directory.
