Note It is recommended that the LDIF files you import be generated by a standard LDAP export utility, such as the ldapsearch utility supplied with the Domino 6 server.

For more information about the ldapsearch utility, see the topic The ldapsearch utility.

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the People and Groups tab.

2. From the Tools pane, click People - Register.

3. When prompted, enter the certifier ID password and click OK.

4. From the Basics pane of the Register Person -- New Entry dialog box, click Registration Server and select the server that registers new users. Click OK.

5. Click Migrate People.

6. From the People and Group Migration dialog box, select LDIF Entries from the Foreign directory source list.

7. In the Select LDIF File dialog box, specify the LDIF file to import or click Browse to open a dialog box that lets you search the file system for an LDIF file, beginning in the Notes Data directory. Click OK.

8. Set migration options by selecting items in the Migration Options box. The options you select apply to all users imported from the file during this session.

Note If you are not registering the users migrated from the file (not creating Notes IDs or mail files for them), the OU portion of the users' Notes hierarchical name created will depend on the certifier ID used to register the users. If you select the option "Add full name provided to the Notes person," LDIF Domino Upgrade Services includes the original LDAP distinguished names, as well as any secondary CN values specified in the LDIF file, as secondary values of the User Name field. By default, this option is selected.

10. Click Done.

The people queued for registration now appear in the Registration status box. You can now register the available users or add users to Domino as directory entries only.
