DMA Operations Guide Microsoft Active Directory Integration

After the system has successfully connected to the Active Directory, the list contains entries for each domain in the AD forest. If you want to restrict the system to a subset of the Active Directory (such as one tree of multiple trees, a subtree, a domain, or an organizational unit), select the corresponding base DN entry from the list.

Adding Passcodes for Enterprise Users

Polycom RMX MCUs provide two optional security features for conferences, which the Polycom DMA system fully supports:

•Conference Passcode — A numeric passcode that callers must enter in order to join the conference.

•Chairperson Passcode — A numeric passcode that callers can enter to identify themselves as conference chairpersons. Chairpersons have additional privileges, such as controlling recording. A conference can be configured to not start until a chairperson joins and to end when the last chairperson leaves (see “Add Conference Template Dialog Box” on page 200).

Note:

If Cisco Codian MCUs are included in the Polycom DMA system’s pool of conferencing resources, don’t assign a chairperson passcode without also assigning a conference passcode. If a conference with only one passcode (either chairperson or conference) lands on a Codian MCU, all callers to the conference must enter that passcode.

If the Polycom DMA system is integrated with your Active Directory, conference and chairperson passcodes for enterprise users can be maintained in the Active Directory.

You must determine which Active Directory attributes to use for the purpose and provide a process for provisioning users with those passcodes. If a user’s passcode Active Directory attribute (either conference or chairperson) is left empty, the user’s conferences won’t require that passcode.

Passcodes must consist of numeric characters only (the digits 0-9). You can specify the maximum length for each passcode type (up to 16 digits). A user’s conference and chairperson passcodes can’t be the same.
