Lotus Domino Designer 8 Help - Adding a directory catalog to a DOLS subscription

APPLICATION DESIGN

Adding a directory catalog to a DOLS subscription
Adding a directory catalog to a DOLS subscription allows users to take IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Directory information offline. When you add this NOTES.INI setting, the option "Include server's Domino Directory" is available in the Domino Web Access Offline preferences. Users need to enable this option to allow address look ups, which is necessary to encrypt mail offline. To add a directory catalog to a subscription:

1. Read the following.

Adding a catalog means more for a user to download. To keep download time reasonable, you may want to create a directory catalog specifically for offline users, which contains only the information they absolutely need.
To add a default catalog, open the NOTES.INI file on the server and add the line $DOLSDirectoryCatalog=nameofcatalog.nsf (nameofcatalog being the actual name of the catalog). Once you do this, you don’t need to specify a catalog in the "Directory catalog to replicate" field in the Offline Configuration Profile document.
From the DOLS Customize subform, you can create a field that looks up a catalog’s name on the server record and populates the "Directory catalog to replicate" field with that name.

2. Open the Offline Subscription Configuration Profile document.

3. Enter the name of the catalog in the "Directory Catalog" field in the Rules tab.

4. Restart the server.
