Extending the ldap schema to get Sametime awareness working.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Once you switch your Sametime to use LDAP instead of Domino directory you 
no longer see the little green box next to emails from people that let you 
know that they are currently online via sametime.

The problem is that on internal email your coworkers address may be John 
Smith/DEKKO, or John Smith/DEKKO @ DEKKO.  These are the common things 
you'll see on the upper left on an email from a coworker.

According to a couple of technotes regarding this situation, Lotus 
suggests you extending your LDAP schema to include the John Smith/DEKKO 
and/or John Smith/DEKKO@DEKKO.  Normally they suggest that you find a 
field that is normally served up by ldap, that you are not currently using 
and retype this, (or use an agent) to include this for every person 
document.  Or, you add a field and duplicate this information there. 
Neither really appeal to me.  Effort and possibility of error is too much.

What I see when I open a person document in my names.nsf is
User Name:  Rob Berendt/DEKKO
            Rob Berendt
And I am thinking "Perfect, how do I add that to the ldap?"  Keep in mind 
that it's been awhile since I've done any serious Notes development.  But 
I clicked on document properties on the person document and I've yet to 
find the field that stores it as Rob Berendt/DEKKO.  I want to serve up 
Rob Berendt/DEKKO as another "cn" in the ldap.  Now I find out that this 
information is from the FullName field from the Person Document and they 
just reformat it upon display.  The contents of my FullName field are what 
you see as the CN and the cn values below:

from my DOS PROMPT:
C:\Program Files\lotus\notes>ldapsearch -h ldap.dekko.com cn="Rob Be*"
CN=Rob Berendt,O=DEKKO
mail=robnospam1@xxxxxxxxx
st=IN
c=USA
dominocertificate=03003302 24DD777C 07G01616 G0021140
objectclass=dominoPerson
objectclass=inetOrgPerson
objectclass=organizationalPerson
objectclass=person
objectclass=top
givenname=Rob
sn=Berendt
cn=Rob Berendt
uid=robnospam1@xxxxxxxxx
uid=nospam2@xxxxxxxxx
uid=nospam3@xxxxxxxxx
uid=nospam4@xxxxxxxxx
uid=nospam5@xxxxxxxxx
uid=nospam6@xxxxxxxxx
maildomain=DEKKO
mailserver=CN=GDISYS01,O=DEKKO
mailfile=mail\rberendt
sametimeserver=CN=SAMETIME01,O=DEKKO

Any clues as to how to serve up the Rob Berendt/DEKKO as another cn 
without having to rekey, or otherwise duplicate, existing information?
I'd also like to serve up the DisplayMailAddress as another entry. 
Sometimes your email has that format on the upper left.
