If the directory is a remote LDAP directory, make up a unique domain name for the directory that is not the name of any IBM® Lotus® Domino® domain.

If the directory is the Domino Directory for a Domino domain -- Domino server setup created it -- specify the name of the directory's Domino domain.

If you created the directory manually from the PUBNAMES.NTF template, and so it is not associated with a Domino domain -- for example the directory is an Extended Directory Catalog, or a Domino Directory used to track Web user information -- do one of the following to specify a domain name for the directory:

• If you want servers with Configuration directories to use the directory as their remote primary Domino Directory, specify the Domino domain of the servers with the Configuration directories.
• If servers won't use the directory as a remote primary Domino Directory, make up a unique domain name for the directory.
