PLANNING


Planning directory catalogs
A directory catalog is an optional directory database that can aggregate entries from multiple IBM® Domino® directories into a single database. A directory catalog provides enterprise-wide directory access via a single database.

About this task

Directory catalogs are either client-based or server-based. Using a client-based condensed directory catalog, sometimes referred to as a mobile directory catalog, IBM Notes® users can access directory information for an enterprise offline, when not connected to the network. Servers use extended directory catalogs to look up information originating from a secondary Domino Directory.
