Re: TCP/IP Configuration

So our domains are kinda messed up. Have been for a while, not sure how it
got that way, not sure how to fix them.

Our internet/mail domain is: metalexmfg.com
Our Active directory domain is: exchange2.metalexmfg.com
IBM i domain name: metalex.manufacturing

When we create a new user, we set the SMTP domain to metalexmfg.com (it
defaults to metalex.manufacturing)

According to the redbook " Windows-based Single Signon and the EIM
Framework on the IBM Eserver iSeries Server", I need to make sure that the
IBM i domain name matches what is returned by nslookup. That returns
nothing, likely because reverse DNS isn't set up. Not sure if that is a
problem or not, but I can ping as400.exchange2.metalexmfg.com, and that is
what is in our local DNS. So I think I need to change the "IBM i domain
name" to exchange2.metalexmfg.com. But what is that going to break?

What value do you have now for "Domain name"?

I'm a little out of my element here, but we are trying to set up single
sign-on and the redbook wants us to change the domain name in the TCP/IP
Configuration Properties to match our active directory domain name. We are
ok with that, but we are wondering what that will do to us. Is it used
anywhere other than as a default. We see it when we add user profiles, but
we always change the domain on the user profile to match our mail domain so
IBM i can send email to the users.

So what is it going to do to us if we change the domain name in TCP/IP
Configuration Properties on the Host Domain Information tab (in Navigator).
