Connecting Domino to other directories is taking on new importance and with it comes the need to learn something of LDAP. Thankfully, Warren Elsmore and David Byrd had just such a session at Lotusphere, BP213. While they ran out of time (and it seems a lot of the sessions are running out of time), they were able to get to the major parts of their session. If you are implementing Sametime, Connections, Quickr, Portal, and any other IBM stack, you will need to understand LDAP.
Setting up LDAP on the Domino server is relatively easy

- LDAP is well supported in Domino
- You need to get yourself an LDAP search tool, as the command line commands will probably drive you nuts
- Domino doesn't require a Base DN
- Internet Explorer will fail if there is more than 1 referral
Setting up LDAP on the Domino server is relatively easy
- Create or edit your Domain Configuration Document
- Enable the LDAP port and select the "enforce server access settings" field
- At the Domino console, run "load ldap"
- Done
- Don't publish too much information
- Turn off Anonymous Access
- Turn off Write Access
- If authenticated, enable LDAPS and disable LDAP
- Extended LDAP schema doesn't play well with Active Directory, mainly because the AD Admin has to do a bit of work.
- Full text index LDAP; it gives you much better performance
- Active Directory serves up more than just people and groups. You also see printers and some other items.
- If you are working a lot with LDAP, get yourself an LDAP Search tool. You can find a bunch of free ones at Wireshark
- Brush up on your Domino LDAP Tell commands
