Polycom, Inc. 157
Domain\user name LDAP service account user ID for system access to the Active Directory. Must
be set up in the Active Directory, but should not have Windows login
privileges.
Note: If you use Active Directory attributes that aren’t replicated across the
enterprise via the Global Catalog server mechanism, the system must query
each domain for the data. Make sure that this service account can connect to
all the LDAP servers in each domain.
The Polycom RealPresence DMA system initially assigns the Administrator
user role to this user (see User Roles Overview), so you can use this account
to give administrative access to other enterprise user accounts.
Caution: Leaving a user role assigned to this account represents a serious
security risk. For best security, remove the Administrator user role and mark
this account disabled in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system (not the
Active Directory) so that it can’t be used for conferencing or for logging into
the Polycom RealPresence DMA system management interface.
Password Login password for service account user ID.
User 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.
Base DN Can be used to restrict the Polycom RealPresence DMA system to work with
a subset of the Active Directory (such as one tree of multiple trees, a subtree,
or a domain). Leave the default setting, All Domains, initially. See
Understanding Base DN.
Time of day to refresh cache Time at which the Polycom RealPresence DMA system should log into the
directory server(s) and update its cache of user and group data.
Territory Specifies the territory whose Polycom RealPresence DMA system cluster is
responsible for updating the user and group data cache.
In a superclustered system, this information is shared across the supercluster.
The other clusters access the directory only to authenticate passwords. See
Territories for more information.
Enterprise Conference Room ID Generation
Directory attribute The name of the Active Directory attribute from which the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system should derive conference room IDs (virtual
meeting room numbers). Generally, organizations use a phone number field
for this.
The attribute must be in the Active Directory schema and preferably should be
replicated across the enterprise via the Global Catalog server mechanism. But
if the attribute isn’t in the Global Catalog, the system queries each domain
controller for the data.
Leave this field blank if you don’t want the system to create conference rooms
for the enterprise users.
