In an environment with secondary Domino directories, the following rules determine in which directory or directories the LDAP service puts an entry added through LDAP:
Entry to be added | "Rules to follow when this directory is..." setting | Domain directory in which entry is added | Reason |
cn=Kate Powers,ou=DomainD,o=Acme | N/A | DomainD | DomainD is the only domain with a matching rule. |
cn=Sue Wu,ou=West,ou=DomainC,o=Acme | N/A | DomainC | The DomainC rule */*/*/West/DomainC/Acme/* is a closer match than the DomainB rule */*/*/*/DomainC/Acme/* . |
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Acme | Modify first match | DomainB | DomainB and DomainC both have rules that match, but since "Modify first match" is selected, the entry is added to the DomainB directory because it has the lower search order. |
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Acme | Modify all matches | DomainB and DomainC | DomainB and DomainC both have rules that match, and since "Modify all matches" is selected, the entry is added to both domain directories. |
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=Acme | Don't modify any | None | DomainB and DomainC both have rules that match, but since "Don't modify any" is selected, the entry isn't added to either directory. |
cn=Phyllis Spera,o=Acme | N/A | DomainA (primary directory) | No secondary directory has a rule that matches. |
