A Domino directory is a collection of user and resource information, such as user names, user IDs,
passwords, server names and information used by software programs for lookup and authentication.
Each domain has a Domino Directory that is the control and administration center for the Domino Servers
in the domain. Also called the Public Address Book (names.nsf), the Domino Directory contains both a
Server document for each server and a Person document for each user. Additionally, you can create
Group documents to establish relationships among servers and users for mailing and security purposes,
and create Connection documents to schedule replication and mail routing among servers.
