Note You must use an IBM® Lotus® Domino® Designer client when using the Domino Directory to extend the schema.
You can use the Domino Directory to:
The LDAP-standard schema elements defined in the default LDAP schema through the LSCHEMA.LDIF file do not correlate to forms and fields in the Domino Directory. For example, the object class residentialPerson does not correlate to a form in the Domino Directory. By default, you can use only LDAP operations to create and access directory entries defined by these LDAP-standard schema elements.
If you want to display LDAP-standard entries such as these in documents that are visible to IBM® Lotus® Notes® and Web users, you can follow the same steps that describe how to use the Domino Directory to extend the schema. For example, to create a form to hold values for entries defined by the residentialPerson object class, follow the steps described in the procedure "Using the Domino Directory to create a new LDAP structural object class". In this case you are not using the form to define an object class -- the object class is already defined in the LSCHEMA.LDIF file. Instead you're using the form so that entries defined by the object class are visible in documents. If you do this, make sure to define the schema elements exactly as the Domino LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) shows them to be defined. Defining them differently can cause you to define new schema elements, rather than simply allowing the default schema elements to be visible in documents.
