•Base: <empty>

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 empty, as shown. Otherwise, the base variable is the same as Base DN. See “Understanding Base DN” on page 173.

•Filter: (&(objectCategory=person)(UserAccountControl: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=512)(sAMAccountName=*) (&(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)) (sAMAccountName=<userID>)))

The first filter variable depends on the User LDAP filter setting. See “Microsoft Active Directory Integration” on page 163. The second variable depends on the value entered in the Service account ID field on the Microsoft Active Directory page. See “Microsoft Active Directory Integration” on page 163.

Microsoft Exchange Server Integration

On the Microsoft Exchange Server page, you can integrate the Polycom DMA system with your Microsoft Exchange Server, enabling users who install the Polycom Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Outlook to set up Polycom Conferencing meetings in Outlook.

When you integrate the DMA system with an Exchange server, it connects to the Exchange server as the Polycom Conferencing user and subscribes to notifications. The Exchange server notifies the DMA system as soon as a meeting invitation (or other mail) arrives in the Polycom Conferencing user inbox. It also sends heartbeat messages to verify that the subscription is working.

If the DMA system fails to receive a heartbeat or other notification for

30 seconds, it begins checking its inbox every four minutes for new messages, and also attempts to reestablish the subscription (push connection) each time.
