Directory Sync with IBM Lotus Domino
This document gives instructions on how to install and configure the DSML
module for IBM Lotus Directory Server and optionally IBM Tivoli Directory Server,
as well as requirements and details on how it works.
IBM Lotus Domino Server is a server that provides e-mail, collaboration and
custom application services. IBM Lotus Domino often uses IBM Lotus Directory
Server or IBM Tivoli Directory Server as an LDAP-based directory that holds
organizational information. Directory Sync can connect to these servers and
collect user information.
Directory Sync uses Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) to query your
LDAP directory server for user information. DSML is an international standard that
is supported by all major directory server vendors.
Some Lotus Domino servers use other directory servers, including Microsoft
Active Directory. If you are using a Lotus Domino server with Microsoft Active
Directory, see “Directory Sync with Microsoft Active Directory” on page 11 for
details on setting up Active Directory for use with Directory Sync.
To allow Directory Sync to work with IBM Lotus Directory Server or IBM Tivoli
Directory Server, set up an application server and DSML in your environment.
These instructions include steps to install the WebSphere Application Server. You
may be able to use other application servers, such as Apache Tomcat, but other
application servers are unverified and are not described in this document.
How it Works
Directory Sync connects to your application server through the Internet securely
through an SSL connection. The application server then connects to a DSML
server. The DSML server connects directly to a directory server on the same
machine to collect user information.
If you are not using an IBM Tivoli Directory Server, your DSML server connects to
an IBM Lotus Domino directory server on the same machine. This can be your
primary directory server, or a mirrored copy of your directory server.
