Two directories one organization

Hi All,

I’m after some advice.

We’re going through a merger and have two seperate Domino organizations.

My wish is to have one organization but two directories keeping the users in seperate directories as the two organizations are still only loosely coupled.

Reason for keeping them seperate is that the IT functions are remaining seperate and one server will be used for authentication to other collaborative servers (SSO for quickr, connections, sametime etc)

I’m assuming there’s no issues with this and it would be as simple as just installing a new server using the certifier from the exisiting organization and setting up connection documents between the two servers, setting up a directory catalogue and good to go.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this?

I’m setting up a test environment now to see if this can be achieved in this manner.

Thanks and Regards

Matt

DA has worked well for me in the past but there are multiple approaches that will work.
