Field Description
Integrate with enterprise
directory server
Enterprise Directory Connection
IP address or host
name
Check to enable enterprise directory integration fields.
Enterprise directory server. If you have a multi-domain
configuration, integrate with a Global Catalog server. To
integrate with a single domain, you can use either the
Global Catalog service or the LDAP service.
The Polycom DMA system can only integrate with one
forest, and only to domains in a single tree.
A special “Exchange forest” (in which all users are
disabled) won’t work because the system doesn’t
support conferencing for disabled users.
Service account ID Service account user ID for system access to enterprise
directory server. Must be set up in the enterprise
directory.
The Polycom DMA system initially assigns all user roles
to this user (see “User Roles Overview” on page 5-1),
so you can use this account to give administrative
access to other enterprise user accounts.
Caution: Leaving user roles assigned to this account
represents a serious security risk. For best security,
remove all user roles and mark this account disabled in
the Polycom DMA system (not the enterprise directory)
so that it can’t be used for conferencing or for logging
into the Polycom DMA system management interface.
Password Login password for service account user ID.
LDAP filter Specifies which user accounts to include (an underlying,
non-editable filter excludes all non-user objects in the
directory). The default expression includes all users that
don’t have a status of disabled in the directory.
Don’t edit this expression unless you understand LDAP
filter syntax. See RFC 2254 for syntax information.
Enterprise Conference Room ID Generation
Directory attribute The name of the attribute from which the Polycom DMA
system should derive conference room IDs. Generally,
organizations use a phone number field for this
purpose.
