TANDBERG VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

About the LDAP Databases

The VCS can be configured to use a database on an LDAP Directory Server to store authentication credential information (usernames, passwords, and other relevant information)

This section describes how to download the schemas that must be installed on the LDAP server, and how to install and configure two common types of LDAP servers, Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP, for use with the VCS.

Downloading the LDAP schemas

The following ITU specification describes the schemas which are required to be installed on the LDAP server:

H.350

Directory services architecture for multimedia conferencing - An LDAP schema to

 

represent endpoints on the network.

H.350.1

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

 

endpoints.

H.350.2

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

 

elements.

The schemas can be downloaded in ldif format from the web interface on the VCS. To do this:

1.Navigate to VCS Configuration > Authentication > LDAP > Schemas. You will see a list of downloadable schemas.

2.Click on the Download button next to each file to open it.

Microsoft Active Directory

Prerequisites

These step-by-step instructions assume that Active Directory has already been 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.

Installing the H.350 Schemas

Once you have downloaded the H.350 schemas, install them as follows:

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.
