Naming Domino servers on a NetWare Bindery Service network
The NetWare Bindery Service uses the common name of the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server as the server name in the Bindery. For example, the Domino server name Chicago/Midwest/Acme becomes CHICAGO in the NetWare Bindery. To name a Domino server that uses the Bindery Service, choose a common name that is unique within the Bindery and contains no more than 48 characters. In addition, do not use any of these characters: slash (/), backslash (\), colon (:), semicolon (;), plus (+), comma (,), asterisk (*), question mark (?).

When a the common name of a Domino server is added to the Bindery, the Bindery converts multibyte characters to hexadecimal characters, removes leading and trailing spaces, converts spaces to underscores, and converts all alphabetic characters to uppercase.

Note When using Bindery emulation under NetWare 4.1 or later, all systems that use the Bindery Service for name resolution must share one Bindery context name. Separate the Notes named networks based on the Bindery context name that the IBM® Lotus® Notes® workstations and Domino server share for Bindery name resolution.
