PMDF System Manager's Guide

A directory channel can service multiple pseudo domains. To apply a channel option to only a specific pseudo domain, prefix the option name with the name of the pseudo domain name followed by an underscore, _. See, for instance, the second example option file presented in Section 3.2.7.4. In that example, the LDAP_SERVERS option applies globally while the options prefixed with example.com_ apply only to the example.com pseudo domain. Likewise, the options prefixed with sales.example.com_ apply only to the sales.example.com pseudo domain.

An option setting prefixed with the pseudo domain name always takes precedence over a global option setting for the associated pseudo domain. For instance, in the option file

SIZELIMIT=20 a1.example.com_SIZELIMIT=10

the pseudo domain a1.example.com will use the value 10 for the SIZELIMIT option. All other domains will use the value 20 for that same option.
