Interaction with LDAP on Domino 6.0 for iSeries

As an alternative to iSeries™ Directory Server (LDAP), you can use LDAP on Domino® 6.0 for iSeries (Domino Directory services).

Domino LDAP uses the inetOrgPerson object class, which is an industry standard class that is commonly used to represent and store information about people, such as first and last name, telephone numbers, and email addresses. This requirement is the same one imposed on LDAP servers provided by iSeries Directory Server (LDAP). Also, directory entries modified by the application have an ibm-itdPerson auxiliary object class added to them. For details on the inetOrgPerson class, see Interaction with iSeries Directory Server (LDAP).

The application interacts with a Domino LDAP server the same way it interacts with an iSeries LDAP server. However, directory entries are set up and maintained differently using a Domino LDAP server. The difference involves Domino's use of the dominoPerson object class. In order for entries to be visible by all versions of Domino, entries must include the dominoPerson object class. Otherwise Domino ignores them. The IBM® Welcome Page V1.1 application must be configured specifically to use a Domino LDAP server.
