Does anyone know if I can use Java JNDI to add users to the Domino LDAP?
If this is possible, will this create person document in names.nsf?
Anyone with an example on this?
Thanks

Dimtiris, I do not have an exact example to answer your question about writing to the Domino Directory using JNDI. Here is a link to a short code example provided by Sun that I was able to customize to do an LDAP lookup (read only though):

Here is the root url to the tutorial if you want to investigate writing to the directory:

You may be able to create a person document using JNDI; I have never tried that. But, keep in mind that when your application binds to Domino, you need to supply credentials with the correct auth level. Another issue is if you want to specify an Internet password in the new person document, how are you going to encode it using JNDI?

I was hopping that domino will encode the password when (and if) creates a new person document.

Yes, this is possible. The Domino directory team folks do it all the time.
If this is possible, will this create person document in names.nsf?
Yes. While this is possible, it is not the same a “registering” a person - he won’t get a certificate issued, etc. For that, you need to use the Java registration class in Notes.jar (I forget what it’s called).
If you want to create a dominoPerson object (i.e., a Person document), you need to understand what a dominoPerson object looks like. The easiest way to do this is to ldapsearch an existing Person document and when you make the appropriate JNDI calls, create his objectclass accordingly.
2 [C:] ldapsearch -h ldapx “cn=ken lin”
CN=Ken Lin,O=ldapx
objectclass=dominoPerson
objectclass=inetOrgPerson
objectclass=organizationalPerson
objectclass=person
objectclass=top
dominocertificate=03002802 356CDAC4 07G01612 G0024F30
givenname=Ken
sn=Lin
cn=Ken Lin
uid=klin
maildomain=ldapx
Also remember to enable your Domino LDAP for writes.

No exact example, but you can see the ND6 Directory FAQ’s “How do I access the Domino Directory via Java?” for search examples. Just follow the JNDI Tutorial’s examples for add.

The Domino LDAP server will hash the password you supply in your add operation.
