Directory Assistance and LDAP add operations

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:

NOTE: To modify a secondary directory through LDAP operations, store the directory locally on the server that runs the LDAP service. For more information, see the release note "Confine LDAP writes to local directories."


For example, suppose the LDAP service primary domain for the Acme organization is DomainA and there are three secondary domains, DomainB, DomainC, and DomainD. The Directory Assistance documents for the three secondary domains contain the following:
      Domain
DomainBDomainCDomainD
      Search Order
123
      Rules
*/*/*/DomainB/Acme/*
*/*/*/DomainC/Acme/*
*/*/*/DomainC/Acme/* */*/West/DomainC/Acme/**/*/*/DomainD/Acme*

The following table provides examples of where different entries are added given the Directory Assistance configuration described above:
Entry to be added"Rules to follow when this directory is..." settingDomain directory in which entry is addedReason
cn=Kate Powers,ou=DomainD,o=AcmeN/ADomainDDomainD is the only domain with a matching rule.
cn=Sue Wu,ou=West,ou=DomainC,o=AcmeN/ADomainCThe DomainC rule */*/*/West/DomainC/Acme/* is a closer match than the DomainB rule */*/*/*/DomainC/Acme/* .
cn=John Ashby,ou=DomainC,o=AcmeModify first matchDomainBDomainB 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=AcmeModify all matchesDomainB and DomainCDomainB 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=AcmeDon't modify anyNoneDomainB 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=AcmeN/ADomainA (primary directory)No secondary directory has a rule that matches.
