Microsoft Active Directory Integration

 

 

Global Group Membership Search

This search queries LDAP.

Base: DC=dma,DC=eng,DC=local

The base variable depends on the Base DN setting on the Microsoft Active Directory page. If it’s set to the default, All Domains, the base variable is the domain DN, as shown by the example. Otherwise, the base variable is the same as Base DN. See “Understanding Base DN” on page 173.

Filter: (&(objectClass=group)(groupType=-2147483646))

Index used: idx_groupType:6664:N

The search used this index in our testing environment, using a standard AD configuration (no indexes added). Results may be different for a different configuration.

Attributes returned: member

Attribute Replication Search

This search queries LDAP.

The system runs this query when it restarts (if already integrated with the Active Directory) and when you click the Update button on the Microsoft Active Directory page, but only if one or more of the configurable Active Directory attributes (for generating conference room IDs, chairperson passcodes, and conference passcodes) is specified.

The purpose of this query is simply to determine if those Active Directory attributes are replicated to the global catalog. If they are, the User Search retrieves them. If any of them isn’t, the system uses the Configurable Attribute Domain Search to retrieve the data from each domain controller.

Base: CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=dma,DC=eng,DC=local

The base variable depends on the forest root.

Filter:

((lDAPDisplayName=telephoneNumber)(lDAPDisplayName=chairpa sscode)(lDAPDisplayName=confpasscode))

The filter variables depend on the configurable Active Directory attributes specified in the Enterprise Conference Room ID Generation and Enterprise Chairperson and Conference Passcode Generation sections (any of these that’s empty is omitted from the filter).

Indexes used: idx_lDAPDisplayName:3:N;idx_lDAPDisplayName:2:N; idx_lDAPDisplayName:1:N

The search used these indexes in our testing environment, using a standard AD configuration (no indexes added). Results may be different for a different configuration.
