Hello,
I wish to create an address book similar to the personal address book used by each Notes user. However, I need to make it public to all the Notes users (similar to creating a Contacts public folder in an Exchange/Outlook environment). This address book would show in the list of address books available for users to look in. This would be like a common directory for all Notes users. Is this feasible?
Best Regards

You want either a directory assistance database or a secondary directory.
You need to add the second address book as port of the names ini parameter on the server.
BIG NOTE: If you are going to register an user who does not exist in the Domino directory but is in this “secondary” directory, you will get an error. Domino things the secondary address are of register users as well. So solve you need to either register on a server with only one addressbook or just rename the person to have a UNIQUE name – a name that does note exist in either database.
HTH – Cheers

I have already tried the directory cascading before (by adding the filename to notes.ini), but it is not very neat. I think I will go with directory assistance, which at first glance, seems much more reliable.
Thanks a lot.
