I have 2 domains and I need share both address book.I don’t want use LDAP account in client.
I want agregate one address book to another.
In help show this with Domino Catalog but don’t explain step by step how do this.

You SHOULD NOT use Cascaded Directories any longer (aka “names=…” in the notes.ini file).
The two OTHER options mentioned here as responses are the correct ones to use. You must weigh the cost versus the benefit of each method. Let me just expound on them a little.
1.) Directory Assistance (DA) virtualizes your two (or more) directories so when name look-ups happen, all available directory replicas that you’ve configured can be searched at once.
Pros:
-
DA simply “points” at secondary directories which can be stored remotely (on another server) or locally (on the same server as the DA database). The benefit is that you do not have yet another database of directory information to maintain, you can keep the same Domino Domain directory configuration that you’ve always had.
-
With DA, changes to a secondary directory are recognized immediately. If, for instance, you delete a user from a remote secondary directory pointed to by DA, other users will no longer be able to address mail to that, now deleted, person.
Cons: Directory Assistance does namelookups across your network. If you have an extremely slow network, or a remote office’s server somewhere that’s connected to your network with, say (in an extreme case), a 56K dial-up connection… DA will most likely not be your best option.
2.) Extended Directory Catalog (EDC) aggregates your two (or more) directories into one, single database. You will store one replica of this EDC on each server, or store the replica on a dedicated directory server, and point to it using Directory Assistance.
Pros:
-
If you have, as mentioned before, a remote server on a slow network connection, the EDC can be stored locally on that remote server and provide instantaneous name look-ups for your users.
-
It can help you centralize your directory look-ups, if you wish. By placing the EDC replica on, say, a server dedicated to only performing directory services, then all the servers in both your Domino domains can point to that EDC via DA. This way, you won’t have to configure DA to point to every server that contains an directory… that could potentially be a lot of pointing, depending on the number of directories you have.
Cons:
Because the EDC is an aggregation of disparate directories, it has the potential to contain out-of-date information. For example, if the EDC is scheduled to re-aggregate once ever 10 hours, and you delete a user from one of the original source directories right after the EDC has just aggregates, the deleted user will still be addressable by other users for the next 10 hours.
Both of these topics can be found in the on-line Domino Administrator guide: http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/Rnext/help6_admin.nsf/Main?OpenFrameSet
Follow the link and expand the “Directory Services” topic, and then follow the links for “Directory Assistance” and “Directory Catalog”.

you should have the replica of the secondary nab on the server.
in the notes.ini of the server for line
names= … put both the file names.
this will show both the address book.

Another approach that allows users to see all the names in a single directory listing is an Extended Directory Catalog. Read about these in the Admin help. One advantage over a condensed dircat is more views so users can type-ahead by first or last name. By limiting the fields you aggregate you can still keep it small and fairly portable. Another wrinkle that surprised me was to aggregate names from the second directory directly into the primary Domino Directory. This from the admin help:
“Because an Extended Directory Catalog uses the same design as a Domino Directory, you can build an Extended Directory Catalog directly into the primary Domino Directory for a domain, so that one directory contains the information for an entire enterprise.”
