BAppendix: Configuring LDAP Servers

B.1 Microsoft Active Directory

B.1.1 Prerequisites

These comprehensive step by step instructions assume that Active Directory is installed. For details on installing Active Directory please consult your Windows documentation. The following instructions are for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, if you are not using this version of Windows, your instructions may vary.

The following ITU specifications describe the schemas which are required to be installed on the Active Directory server:

H.350 Directory services architecture for multimedia conferencing - An LDAP schema to repre- sent endpoints on the network.

H.350.1 Directory services architecture for H.323 - An LDAP schema to represent H.323 end- points.

H.350.2 Directory services architecture for H.235 - An LDAP schema to represent H.235 ele- ments.

The schemas can be downloaded in ldif format from the web interface on the Border Controller. To do this, navigate to the Border Controller Configuration → Files page and click on the links for the schemas. Copy the downloaded schemas to the Active Directory server.

Open a command prompt and for each file execute the following command:

ldifde -i -c DC=X <ldap base> -f filename.ldf

Where <ldap base> is the base DN for your Active Directory server.

B.1.2 Adding H.350 objects

Create the organizational hierarchy

Open up the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in. Under your base DN right click and select New → Organizational Unit. Create an Organizational unit called h350.

NOTE It is good practice to keep the H.350 directory in its own organizational unit to separate out H.350 objects from other types of objects. This allows access controls to be setup which only allow the Border Controller read access to the BaseDN and therefore limit access to other sections of the directory.

Add the H.350 objects

Create an ldif file with the following contents:

# MeetingRoom1 endpoint

dn: commUniqueId=comm1,ou=h350,dc=my-domain,dc=com

objectClass: commObject
