Accessing an eDirectory Context through DNS Federation
This procedure works only if the target eDirectory context is in a tree that is
running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS federation.
1 Click anywhere in the "NDS" container.
2 Click View > Set Context.
3 Enter the full DNS name for the eDirectory context that you are trying to
access, including an ending dns and a period (.).
Example: sales.xyz.com.dns.
4 Click OK.
If the DNS name resolves correctly, the eDirectory context you are trying to
access should appear in the NDS container. You can browse and manage
objects in the eDirectory context the same as in any eDirectory tree.
