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

[Ryan West]

Mark,

There is no way, that I can see, to change the LDAP directory integration fields without deleting the old ones and recreating them.  Even then, there are only three fields that can be manipulated.  Those are the TN and Middle name fields.  As for the deletion of users, I believe that is a batched job that occurs after a set period of time, something like a day.  So it won't just delete all your users immediately.  I have tested the device association part a couple of times internally and have not lost any device associtations, so I think you're okay there.

I verified in the admin guide for 6.0 (1) that those options exist.  I'm sure the timeout value for the deletion cycle is listed there as well.  Since you went through the trouble of doing LDAP synchronization, why not just authenticate your users against it too?  Assuming your managing the AD and phone system, it's one less password to manage at the end of the day.

Hi,

I actually thought of that, but it seems I would need to delete the current ldap directory intergration, and configure a new intergration, as you cant just change the field.  I am also not sure if its possible with CM6.0.1, as I couldnt see ipPhone as an ldap attribute option in my CM 6.0.1 system?

If I do this all the current end users will be deleted. When it syncs again and the users are imported using the different ldap attribute, will CM be smart enough to recognise the users and keep the same settings, or will they need their device profiles and passwords etc reconfigured?

Thanks,
  Mark

Not that I'm aware of.  Would it be possible to populate the IPPhone
attribute for your users with the number you wish CM to use and then
map that attribute instead of telephoneNumber?

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,
