How to Configure a Domino User Directory as a User Store

Configuring a Domino user directory as a user store is a three-step process:

1. Verify that a Domino User Directory Meets Policy Server Requirements
2. Ping the User Store System
3. Configure a Connection from the Policy Server to a Domino User Store

Verify that a Domino User Directory Meets Policy Server Requirements

A Domino user directory is an LDAP directory. Be sure that the Domino user directory meets the following prerequisites before you configure it as a user store:

• The Domino user groups must share the root DN that you specify when configuring the connection from the Policy Server to the Domino user store.

  Example: When adding the group marketing/myorg.org to the address book (names.nsf) in Lotus Notes, type o=myorg.org in the Root field on the User Directory screen.

• Each new user must have both a user name entry and an internet password entry in the Domino user directory.

  Note: We recommend that you register users when you add them to a Domino user directory. This additional step prevents multiple user name entries in the Domino user directory. When there are multiple entries in the directory, the Policy Server uses the first one. Attempts to log in with other user names fail.

Ping the User Store System

Pinging the user store system verifies that a network connection exists between the Policy Server and the user directory or database.

Note: Some user store systems may require the Policy Server to present credentials.
