Adding a New Domain

One domain is identified during the installation process and additional domains can be added. When you add a domain you configure the Global Address List (GAL) mode and the Authentication mode for the domain. You can also set up virtual hosts, create the domain Documents account, and limit the number of accounts that can be created on the domain.

To add a domain, click New on the Domain toolbar. The Create New Domain wizard walks you through the steps to add the new domain.

  1. On the General Information dialog, enter the complete domain name, description, the default Class of Service (COS) for the domain, and notes you want to add about the domain. You can also set the maximum number of accounts that can be configured for this domain.  Click Next.

  2. Choose the GAL mode, either Internal, External, or Both. The default is Internal.

  3. (Optional) Change the maximum number of search results returned for a GAL Search.  The default is 100 results. Click Next.

  4. If you selected Internal as the GAL mode, the next step is to configure the authentication mode.

If you selected External or Both, the next step is to configure the LDAP server
