Note

Unless users have already been provisioned with passcodes in your Active Directory or you’re using an existing attribute, most users will probably not have passcodes assigned. Duplicate and invalid passcodes should be your main concern because they could indicate a problem with the type of data in the selected attributes or with the number of characters you elected to use.

About the System’s Directory Queries

The Polycom DMA system uses the following subtree scope LDAP queries. In a standard AD configuration, all these queries use indexes.

•User Search

•Group Search

•Global Group Membership Search

•Attribute Replication Search

•Configurable Attribute Domain Search

•Domain Search

•Service Account Search

The system runs the first three queries every time it creates or updates its cache:

•When you click Update on the Microsoft Active Directory page

•When the system restarts (if integrated with the Active Directory)

•At the scheduled daily cache refresh time

The elements in italics are examples. The actual values of these variables depend on your configuration.

User Search

This search queries the global catalog. In a standard AD configuration, all the filter attributes and attributes returned are replicated to the global catalog.
