This NOTES.INI setting allows additional directories to be searched in the order in which they appear and stops searching when it finds a match in one of the databases. The file names can be up to 256 characters. Separate the list of directories with commas. Do not specify the NSF file extension.

The server does not use this feature to look up additional Connection, Domain, or Server documents specified in additional directories. Ensure you create all of the necessary Connection, Domain, and Server documents in the primary Domino Directory.

Remote secondary Domino Directories

If secondary Domino Directories are not replicated locally, access them over the network by specifying server names in canonical format and their Domino Directories as follows:

CN=servername/OU=organizational unit/O=organization/!!filename

Specify as many organizational units as necessary.

For example, specify:

NAMES=NAMES, CN=serverwest/OU=west/O=acme!!NAMES, CN=servereast/OU=east/O=acme!!NAMES

If the name of the remote server is flat, omit the canonical format, for example

NAMES=NAMES, serverwest!!NAMES

If a remote server contains multiple Domino Directories, for example a hub server, you can point to each directory on the server. To do this, you must repeat the server name for each directory, for example:

NAMES=NAMES, CN=serverhub/O=acme!!NAMES1, CN=serverhub/O=acme!!NAMES2

Local secondary Domino Directories

To specify secondary Domino Directories that are replicated locally on the server, type the names of the directories without the NSF extension following the name of the primary Domino Directory; for example

NAMES= NAMES, EASTNAME, WESTNAME

Setting Up Cascaded Name & Address Books on a Notes Workstation

Problem:
Is it possible to set up cascaded Name & Address Books (N&A Books) on a Notes client?

Solution:
In Notes 3.x and Notes 4.0, cascaded Name & Address Books are supported only on a Notes server. In Notes 4.1 and subsequent Notes 4.x and 5.x releases, cascaded N&A Books are supported on the Notes Client as well as the Notes/Domino server.

Configuring Cascaded Name & Address Books on a Notes Client:

1. The workstation's NOTES.INI must contains a Names= line. For example:

Names=names,names2
In addition:
a. The first Name & Address Book referenced after the equal sign in the NOTES.INI must be "names."
b. Do not include the .NSF extension for the names of the Names & Address Books.
c. The Names= line cannot include any spaces.

Support for setting up and maintaining cascaded Name & Address Books on a Notes 3.x or Notes 4.0 workstation is not available from Lotus Notes Technical Support. However, cascaded Name & Address Books do sometimes work on a Notes 3.x or Notes 4.0 workstation. If you wish to attempt to set up cascaded Name & Address Books on a Notes 3.x or Notes 4.0 workstation, refer to the information provided below. Note that if you are able to successfully configure cascaded Name & Address Books on a Notes 3.x or Notes 4.0 workstation, the cascaded N&A Books can be used only for addressing mail.
