See this topic for information about how IBM® Survey Creator interacts 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).
Existing directory entries may be searched if they are based on the standard inetOrgPerson object class. This object class is commonly used to represent and store information. 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 and the ibm-itdPerson classes, see Interaction with iSeries Directory Server (LDAP).
The IBM Survey Creator application interacts with a Domino LDAP server the same way it interacts with an IBM directory server. IBM Survey Creator uses Domino as an authentication mechanism that retrieves user information. 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 Survey Creator application must be configured specifically to use a Domino LDAP server.
