Server (LDAP) or Domino LDAP directory server
An iSeries Directory Server (LDAP) directory server needs to be available for the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 and IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 applications to use. The applications and the directory server can reside on the same iSeries server, or the directory server can reside on a remote iSeries server.
