[cisco-voip] UserID when syncing via ldap.. Removing certaincharacters?

We had a similar issue, in that 9,000 numbers in the LDAP domain that we
desired to sync call manager with.  Primarily to have a directories link
on the phone so that one-button calling to any of the 9,000 users, ie.
Not to use the "EditDial" soft-key.  With 9,000 numbers the format was
all over the place.

So our AD guru created a script to do the transposing of the AD user
BusinessTelephoneNumber object (held +61(0)884807702 PSTN strings) to
the AD user IPTelephoneNumber object.  In our case this additional phone
number field was empty for all users and we could populate it.  So the
script/stripping logic was homegrown and independent of CUCM.  This then
allowed us to sync CUCM to the IP Phone number field.

Not elegant, but functional.

Hi,

We are doing Active Directory syncing for CallManager 6 users.

We use the telephoneNumber ldap attribute to map to the User ID field in
CCM, but in AD want to use the full international format such as
"+61(0)884807702" for numbers.

This is obviously a bit horrible for users to enter via their phone, is
there any way possible that we can have it selectively strip out the
+61(0) part of the number when creating the synced User ID's???   Ie, so
the login for the above number would actually be 884807702 ?

I have had a hunt around, and cant seem to find anything about doing
this, so I am assuming its not possible?  :(

Thanks,
   Mark
