Polycom DMA 7000 System Operations Guide

Server Settings
d Specify the directory attribute from which to generate conference
room IDs and the number of characters to use.
Your users will be happier if room IDs are numeric and not longer
than necessary to ensure uniqueness. Phone numbers are the most
likely choice, or maybe employee ID numbers.
If you use phone numbers, the default contents of the Characters to
remove field should work to ensure a numeric room ID.
e Specify the time each day that you want the Polycom DMA system to
check the enterprise directory for changes.
f Click Update.
After a short time, the system confirms that Enterprise Directory
configuration has been updated.
g Click OK.
4 Assign user roles to your enterprise user account and secure the service
account:
a Log out and log back in using the service account you created in step 2.
You must be logged in with an enterprise directory user account to
see other enterprise users. The service account user ID you specified
for connecting to the enterprise directory is initially assigned all user
roles in the Polycom DMA system.
b Go to User > Users, locate your named enterprise account, and give it
Security Administrator privileges (and whatever other privileges you
want). See “User Roles Overview” on page 5-1 and “Users
Procedures” on page 5-8.
c Log out and log back in using your named enterprise account.
d Secure the service account by removing all user roles and marking it
disabled in the Polycom DMA system (not in the enterprise directory).
See “Edit User Dialog Box” on page 5-5.
Caution
Leaving user roles assigned to the service 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 DMAsystem management interface.
5 Check that enterprise users are visible on the Polycom DMA system and
that they have valid conference room IDs:
