Subject: Getting information from the Directory Catalog.
Problem: Get user’s e-mail address.
I am trying to use the Directory Catalog (Based on the Lightweight Directory template) to obtain the e-mail address for a given username.
What’s the best way to do this since this database does not store each person’s information in separate documents.
Use a directory API rather than a database API, as described in “Building Directory Friendly Applications” http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/0/5c4bf25f844b9ac785256e4c005998b7?OpenDocument. The directory APIs operate with the full spread of directory representations (e.g., domino directories, secondary directories, compressed directory catalogs, extended directory catalogs, LDAP).
If you’re using Lotuscript, this probably means @Namelookup.
