MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Migrating entries from an LDAP directory server
You use the LDAP Domino Upgrade Service to migrate users and groups from an LDAP-compliant external directory to the Domino Directory. The LDAP Domino Upgrade Service creates a Person document for each migrated person and a Group document for each migrated group. Optionally, for migrated users, you can create Notes ID files and mail files.

You can also add unregistered users (that is, users without Notes IDs and mail files) to the Domino Directory, but those users cannot log into Notes or gain authenticated access to Domino servers and other Domino resources through Notes.

When you migrate groups, they are added to the Domino Directory, but are not registered like users.

The LDAP Domino Upgrade Service offers advanced options for extending the LDAP schema. These advanced options let you add person and group object classes and member attributes.

To migrate users and groups from an LDAP directory server, follow this procedure:


Alternatively, you can also migrate users from an LDAP directory using an LDIF file. You can populate the LDIF file with entries, then migrate those entries with the file. However, you cannot migrate groups using an LDIF file.

For more information about migrating users with an LDIF file, see the topic Migrating users from an LDIF file.
