Hello!,Anyone know how to import either from static data (LDIF file) or via LDAP user information into a secondary address book. We need to populate a secondary address book for mail routing and lookup/type ahead. This isn’t from Active Directory either, I know how to do it from Directory Assistance but that doesn’t provide type ahead.
If someone can point me in the right direction, know of code or a 3rd party
Thanks & Regards,
Scott

What brank of LDAP directory is it? They usually provide a tool so that you can dump the entire directory tree to an LDIF file… then you can use LDAPMODIFY.EXE (search for it on the web) to suck the LDIF into a Domino server’s primary directory.

Anyone know how to import either from static data (LDIF file) or via LDAP user information into a secondary address book.One approach is to use many of the same steps used to import entries into your primary Domino directory through LDAP:
Create your new secondary Domino directory (from pubnames.ntf) on the server ‘A’ running the Domino LDAP task
On ‘A’, setup DA to point to your secondary Domino directory. Be sure that the naming rules select the names of entries you want to import (e.g., OU=Your New OU, O=Your O).
Find an ldapmodify command tool on the web and use it to process your LDIF file, sending LDAP ADD operations to ‘A’. Your name rule from the previous step will direct it to the secondary.

Just to clarify - yes, using DA to point to a secondary LDAP source does not give you type ahead capability to the secondary. But pointing DA to a secondary Domino directory does give you type ahead capability (circled below).
