LDAP frequently asked questions (Part 3 of 4)<br />

How can I perform mass changes in OTM? The Global Update function within OTM<br />

allows you to change common data<br />

values across multiple stations. Data<br />

import/export can also be used to<br />

manage large data transactions.<br />

Can I perform mass changes using LDAP<br />

Synchronization?<br />

Does OTM use a proprietary database? If<br />

so, can I use ODBC-compliant SQL<br />

commands to perform synchronization?<br />

553-3001-330 Standard 3.00 August 2005<br />

Question Answer<br />

How do I use the Import/Export Utility to<br />

populate user data in the OTM directory?<br />

I want to synchronize the fields in both<br />

directions from LDAP server to OTM and<br />

from OTM to LDAP server. Is this possible?<br />

Does OTM LDAP synchronization work with<br />

CallPilot?<br />

The function of LDAP Synchronization<br />

Utility is to keep data aligned, not to<br />

import data. When you perform a lookup<br />

on an LDAP server and link a subscriber<br />

for synchronization, many of the<br />

subscriber’s properties are copied to the<br />

OTM directory; however, this is done<br />

one subscriber at a time. The Import/<br />

Export utility is a better option for bulk<br />

import operations.<br />

OTM utilizes several databases in its<br />

various applications. These databases<br />

are not accessible to you except through<br />

OTM applications and the Import/Export<br />

utility.<br />

1. Use data import to import a set of<br />

Last Names and UIDs. For an<br />

example, see “Importing LDAP ID<br />

(UID) Using an Entity’s Extension<br />

Number (DN)” on page 326.<br />

2. Pull in all of the remaining attributes<br />

during the first sync routine.<br />

Yes, synchronization in both directions is<br />

one of the choices and is configurable<br />

for each field. For a list of fields and the<br />

recommend sync direction, see Table 22<br />

on page 321.<br />

No, CallPilot does not support<br />

synchronization with an LDAP server,<br />

and does not support LDAP clients as an<br />

LDAP server.
