Does the Domino Web Access (DWA) use PUMA in portal 6.1   

Hi in order to give a little bit of more detailed information I'm going to reference the info center with my issue.

Automatic detection of mail files

Automatic detection when the portal authenticates to an LDAP directory that is not Lotus Domino, and Collaborative Services authenticate to a Lotus Domino LDAP

This case requires the following tasks:

Extend the LDAP schema on the LDAP directory that is not Lotus Domino, by adding the following attributes:
- mailserver=mailserver.domain.com
- mailfile=mail/usermail.nsf

On the Lotus Domino LDAP directory, take one of the following actions:
- Extend the schema as above.
- If your organization prefers not to extend the schema, populate the directory with a separate Person document for each user.
The document must specify the name the person uses for logging in to the portal in either the Short Name or Common Name field.
You can run an agent to create the documents.

Now I know that the info center says that instead of extending the schema I can create additional documents in the domino server, but I would like to know if
instead of extending the schema I can just add a couple of attributes to the lookaside table named mailserver and mailfile, with the necesary values.

Hi, and thank you Charlie

Well actually I'm mostly researching the possible ways of doing this, but this project has not started yet.
Although I'll write back to the forum with my results once I reach this point.

From what you're saying I gather that probably the best approach might be to create that domino agent and
start adding all of those person documents, or edit the current person documents and add the active directory
user to the user name fields.

Now does the password in the person documents need to be synchronized with active directories password?
