Addressing and local NAB in Domino Web Access
Tags :Technical
Just a little tidbit trick we picked up today.
It seems that users like to copy entries from the public directory
into their local NAB and then sync with DWA, or worse yet create their
own entries for people inside their company into their address books. This
causes a nice duplication to show when you are attempting to send an email
from DWA with two choices for the person.
Of course we (as administrators) expect
this behavior. But the way the name shows really throws users off
Here is a screenshot, and yes it was blurred some but you get the
idea. I didn't want the names out there for gosh sakes.
As you see, the yellow part says more than
one entry was found for the name and the white part shows both the way
the user would see it from Domino and then one that almost looks like LDAP.
This server has no Directory Assistance or Directory Catalog in place.
So through testing and troubleshooting using our own mailfiles, if
you had an entry that did not exactly match the server NAB, then this pop-up
would show. If they did match, the mail would address as normal and
off it went. So no more typing in names in your personal NAB of people
from the Domino Directory folks!
