Setting the Global Domain Document

GDD (Global Domain Document) conversion settings are used to construct SMTP internet addresses for users who do not have internet addresses (primary email address). To ensure that Enterprise Archive properly constructs the internet address, the following fields must be defined:

  • Local Primary Internet Domain: Local Primary Internet Domain name

  • Domain domain(s) included: NONE

  • Domain domain(s) position: Left of ‘@’

    Note

    If the conversion settings are not setup as specified, the internet addresses for users without internet addresses may not be setup properly. If they are not setup properly, Enterprise Archive may not recognize the domain.

For additional information on GDD see "http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/understanding-the-global-domain-document-".

Note

Configuring the GDD is considered to be necessary for proper operation (IBM best practice).

To set the Global Domain Document conversion settings:

  1. Select the Configuration tab.

  2. Expand Messaging in the left panel.

  3. Select Domains on left.

  4. Expand Global Domain on the right pane.

  5. Select Default Domain Name.

  6. Click Edit Domain.

  7. Select the Conversion tab.

    Note

    If any changes are made, click Save and then click Close to save the Default Domain Name document.
